非洲音樂 Mbira

「人生與爵士樂很像,即興之時最精采。」-- 喬治蓋希文(美國作曲家)

認識Sumi那天,可能風塵僕僕到台灣,大包小包,頭髮也被狂風吹的凌亂。雖然不認識他,卻覺得他好和善,當然也對他手上拿的東西很感興趣,便勇敢上前向他自我介紹。他說他不會講中文,我們就用音樂與英文交流。

原來,Sumi是Mbira演奏家呢🎶。Mbira是來自非洲的音樂,這個樂器由許多長條狀的金屬與木板製成,看起來很像一堆刀叉的柄整齊排列在木板上。他說Mbira的M不發音,一開始嘴巴閉緊M,接著釋放M,引導B的發音,所以Mbira念起來有點像Bira.

Sumi當下表演一小段Mbira的音樂(我只錄了幾秒鐘),也為我介紹以葫蘆製成的樂器,還讓我拿著Mbira合照。

✨很高興認識Sumi,我的街頭泡泡心體驗。

The first day I met Sumi on the street, he looked fatigue with the journey. I walked into him and asked about what he hold in his hands. Sumi is a Mbira player. Mbira is an African music which is made by metal sticks. I would say these metal sticks are more like spoon or fork holders. He had an mbira improvisation and show me how to play calabash .

Nice to have a snapshot with Sumi on the street.
