Tears of Joy Puppet The
atre presents “PuppetLove,”
a Valentine’s Day showcase
for adults on one night only,
Saturday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. at
Dolores Winningstad The
atre, 1111 S.W. Broadway.
From the ridiculous to the
sublime, with hearts full and
hearts aching, the show is a
journey from cynicism to sur
render, from the falsity of
love, to love for humanity, to
rom antic
love
and
“Schrodinger’s Cat.”

Dance Music
Njuzu Mbira will play the beau
tiful and traditional dance music
o f the Shona people o f Zimba
bwe in an all ages and no cover
concert, Sunday, Feb. 15 from 6
to 8 p.m. at Mississippi Pizza Pub,
3552 N. Mississippi Ave.
T his tim eless m usic, p er
form ed on a metal -keyed instru
ment for at least 1,000 years, has
been played at religious cer
em onies throughout the ages
and more recently incorporated
into electric pop music in Z im
babw e by m usicians such as
Thom as Mapfumo.
Some songs played today are
as old as the instrument itself.
U sually two or more musicians
play interlocking parts that re
sult in layers o f rhythmic m elo
dics. Shakers (hosho) are usu
ally played as the timekeepers.
The mbiras are placed inside
large calabashes for resonance.
N athan Beck and Marian
Grebanier, who formed Njuzu
Mbira, have studied this music
since the early '90s and have
spent prolonged time in Zimba
bwe studying with mbira mas
ters.
