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.”
Lady Mai Marionette
stars in ‘Puppet Love. '

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.
