The thumb piano, known as a kalimba, mbira, and by many other names, is a lamellaphone that uses prongs called tongues, keys, or tines that you pluck to generate acoustic vibrations. The length of the tine determines the pitch. Generally, the thumb piano uses some kind of mechanism as an anchor that puts a great deal of pressure over the tines and across 2 bridges, leaving the free lengths of the tines room to vibrate.

A good example of this sort of music maker is the African "thumb piano" also known as the mbira, zanza, or kalimba.
In the early 19th centurythe civil engineer Charles Joseph Minard's eloquently rendered charts convinced us that sometimes infographics trump text. They don't always work, of course—imagine how boring On the Road would have been if Jack Kerouac had drawn it as a time line—but the medium lends itself to lists and how-to guides. The folks who published the book Show Me How understood this: Graphics explain things, and lots of graphics in comic-strip form can explain several hundred things. The sequel, More Show Me Howprobes new levels of topical obscurity.
African music is a vital part of everyday life in Africa. It is a part of religious ceremonies, festivals, and social rituals. Songs are used for the important events in a person's life birth, coming of age, marriage, and death.
