"There is no colour in the spirit's world. The mbira that have been made in Germany or the mbira that have been made in Zimbabwe, they play the same role to summon the spirits of the ancestors." Dominic Mandere - Spirit Medium

Sebastian Mukanya Sekuru Murewa Makwiramiti Pott is a wonderful German mbira maker. He lived in Ghana for 10 years and visited Zimbabwe to study mbira making from Chris Mhlanga and other master mbira makers of Zimbabwe. He is also an excellent mbira player and friend. He recently used his blacksmith skills to make 15 mbira in Dindinyongwe tuning which were taken to Mandere village in Zimbabwe for the community to play and share.
