After a long delay caused by having to transfer a lot of raw video footage over Samora’s mobile data connection in South Africa, the Matepe Clinic is now online: a second documentary about how Samora builds another matepe at Sekuru’s place, with Chawasarira around to help if there are any difficulties. But this turned out to be hardly necessary.
We took this additional step to ensure that the information in the first documentary is actually sufficient for anyone to build a matepe on their own, and to supplement the material if necessary.
Furthermore, we have expanded Sekuru’s personal biography with some videos about his contemporaries and playing partners in his younger years, geographical information, and his musical journey.
