The chizambi is a friction mouth-bow chordophone of the Shona peoples of Zimbabwe.
Origin: Mozambique or Zimbabwe
Aliases: chimazambi, tshizambi
Description: A chizambi consists of a flexible and curved rod that holds a string tied at both ends under tension. The ends of the stick are connected with plastic strapping material or murara palm fronds. A stick rattle is used to excite the string into vibration.
Usage/History: Played held horizontally with one end of the string passing between the player's lips and the other resting in their palm. The player holds the stick rattle with one hand and slides the rough end of the rattle back and forth along the serrated side of the bow. Often played by shepherds, also associated with certain traditional healers.
