I think Elton John played a mbira, when he was just starting out.

This was before he got big, mind you.

I can't believe nobody picked up on this one.

I tried. Couldn't make it work.
I think the best I came up with was that Elton John originally played candle in the wind for Hattie Alexander on the mbira, but was convinced to not record it by Bernie Taupin, who preferred I've Been Loving You.

:lulz: I don't get it.

I was imagining a 6" tall Elton John, banging away on a thumb piano.

My favourite Mbira player if Geoffrey Oryema.

What?

Oh! Interesting fact. He escaped Idi Amin in the boot of someone's car. I don't think Amin was chasing him personally, but had his family on some sort of torture and kill list.

No punchline.

I initially read that as "Admin".  :lulz:

Also, you don't think his escape was coincidental, do you? Not so, for he has the power of the song of the Mbira.
