The mbira or thumb piano is an African musical instrument consisting of a wooden board (often fitted with a resonator) with attached staggered metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs. The mbira is usually classified as part of the lamellaphone family, and part of the idiophone family of musical instruments.
Members of this broad family of instruments are known by a wide variety of names, such as likembe, mbila, mbira huru, mbira njari, mbira nyunga nyunga, sansu, zanzu, karimbao, marimba, karimba, kalimba, okeme, ubo, or—between the late 1960s and early 1970s— sanza, as well as marímbula (also called kalimba) in the Caribbean Islands).
Both Joseph H. Howard, owner of the largest collection of drums and ancillary folk instruments in the Americas, and Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji argue that the mbira is thoroughly African, being found only in areas populated by Africans or their descendants. In Eastern and Southern Africa, there are many kinds of mbira, usually accompanied by the hosho. It was reported to be used in Okpuje, Nsukka area of the south eastern part of Nigeria in the early 1900s. It is a particularly common musical instrument of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Shona people of Zimbabwe. It is also often an important instrument to be played at religious ceremonies, weddings, and other social gatherings.

Más martinies, yo sin ganas de dormir,
Dos y media y aún no hay nadie para mi,
Frente a frente miro de repente,
Como brillas entre tanta gente,
Y me envuelvo suavemente de tu olor,
Un segundo te vi, ya eres para mi desde hoy,
Ya con verte es mi día de suerte,
Que buena está la noche que dure para siempre,
Conocerte quiero conocerte,
La música en tu cuerpo tiene algo diferente.
De modelo, cuerpo de modelo,
Del infierno o tal vez del cielo,
Cosa linda ¿donde guardas tu poder?,
Si me miras empiezo a caer,
Y me envuelvo suavemente de tu olor,
Un segundo te vi, ya eres para mi desde hoy.
Ya con verte es mi dia de suerte
Que buena esta la noche que dure para siempre
Conocerte quiero conocerte,
Ya con verte es mi dia de suerte
Conocerte quiero conocerte
La musica en tu cuerpo tiene algo diferente.
Ya con verte es mi dia de suerte
Conocerte quiero conocerte,
Ya con verte es mi dia de suerte
Ya con verte es mi dia de suerte
Conocerte quiero conocerte
