The Chamutengure song is a centuries-old traditional Zimbabwean song that is still played today at many traditional functions.

The song is played on the marimba, a traditional Zimbabwean instrument. The marimba is a type of xylophone that is made up of wooden bars that are struck with mallets. The Chamutengure song is played in a simple but beautiful melody.

In this blog post, we will teach you how to play the Chamutengure song on the marimba. With   Kelvin Chikumbirike, a marimba teacher who can help you learn more about the song and the marimba.

The Chamutengure song is played in a simple four-bar pattern. The notes for the song are EX1, FX1, CX1, and DX1. These notes are all played on the same marimba key. The EX1 note is the lowest note, and the DX1 note is the highest note.

To play the song, you will need to strike the marimba keys with a steady beat. Try to keep the volume of your playing consistent. Practice the song until you can play it smoothly and evenly.

Here are the steps on how to play the Chamutengure song on the marimba:

1. Start by playing the EX1 note on the marimba.
2. Then, play the FX1 note.
3. Follow that with the CX1 note.
4. Finally, play the DX1 note.
5. Repeat this pattern for four bars.
