Rum and Lime is a mellow tropical song, with a kalimba (a.k.a. the thumb piano, previously and mbira) and a marimba. It runs like clockwork.

Kalimba Take 2 is a lovely tune – it has the kalimba / thumb piano for an instrument, some muted claps, harmonizing background vocals, and it’s just all good. That thumb piano’s also known as a mbira, which has appeared in another song on this podcast, by another mefite.

Venus in Furs is a mellow and jazzy cover of the droning Velvet Underground song. The instrument reminiscent of a steel drum or a xylophone is the mbira, which is new to me.
This is the first of the the Velvet Underground covers Music Challenge (playlist). You’ll be hearing a lot more from this challenge this week.
