I heard Chartwell when I was in my teens, 20 years ago. His music is a blessing. Love you Chartwell, RIP your music still reverbs here with us and in this cosmos and this life.
Chartwell taught mbira at the School of African & Asian Studies (SOAS) in London in the 90s...the most mellow teacher you could imagine. Lovely man. Used to play with Thomas Mapfumo and Blacks Unlimited back in the day.
This is awesome! I discovered Chartwell's music on Pandora Radio one day. (The song was Changamire: Africa Calling Mix) I remember checking out a few of his albums. I fell in love with Mbira. He is definitely one of the most nicest people I met.
Sweet Jesus Lord of light ... I feel connected to the greater love with this music - thank all that is holy, thank you to this music and everyone and everything that has allowed me to listen to this now, and cry such beautiful tears - I feel st
I've had a couple of workshops with chartwell and he's an utterly incredible man. Meeting with him tomorrow for a mbira class😁 absolutely love this track :) thanks for uploading!
Hello Yvette do you know if any copies the CD "TaDenDa" still exist , or in fact whether people actually know they still hav it : it's a CD which is nearly 18 years old !
Changamire (The Respected One) was also track 1 on Chartwell Dutiro "TaDenDa" : (Thankyou ... or ...Many Thanks ) : his self released CD with the distinctive yellow cover - not a comercially available CD from a record company. The CD is very difficult to find these days ; the track on that CD is similar to what this take sounds like , but Chartwell Dutiro was accompanied by Nicola Purtell (vocal backing) , and also by Christopher Morphitis on guitar. I did hav a copy in 2006 ; does anyone else possess one?
lobajii ... the answer is that it does not actually mention who playsd hosho. Elmar Pohl is a master of precise time hosho (& great spoons player), Chartwell Dutiro more rhythmic & deep. I can't tell which this might be ... maybe its neither? Album apparently recorded one afternoon at home. Superb mbira throughout. Totally recommended CD, the Marenje is a dense jungle!
George Day It could just be in a different tuning from the version you got on iTunes. This sounds like Changamire in Dindinyongwe village tuning to me.
Jeffrey Golay hmmmmm I went onto iTunes and bought 'Changamire, Africa Calling Mix' but that sounds like a totally different song to me... Joe do you know which CD it is? I'd really like to buy it!

Fly well sweet Chartwell, your music will live on.
Randomly discovered this as a teenager on Tumblr, so sad to hear of his passing - this song has given me a lot of comfort and peace

Rest peacefully
I've only just found out because of this comment. That's a real shame to the world!
@@Leprecaun123 He was definitely a great friend! Full of humor! We had a great share of laughs! I miss him so much!
@@gonzo4057 when did your paths cross?
Are you sure this is changamire? It sounds really different to the Chartwell Changamire I bought on iTunes :P
George Day This was from a CD I bought from him. Unless it's titled wrong on the CD?

George Day Sure! chartwelldutiro.com/music/ It's called Chivaraidze. I don't know how to buy it online though. I bought it from him personally.
Hi guys. This is Changamire. The song on Africa Calling mix is actually Kuzanga. I don't know why they used the title Changamire there.
