The author discusses four distinct indigenous African musical instruments played within the Venda culture: the Dende, Tshitiringo, Lugube and Tshihwana. He advocates for a dedicated focus on instrument-making, playing, performing and teaching in order to pass this indigenous knowledge to future generations.

Researcher and composer Evans Ntshengedzeni Netshivhambe is a senior lecturer in Art and Music at the University of South Africa.
