The kalimba is an ancient instrument from Africa, simply made from a wooden box and a few tines of flattened metal, but its music is filled with a spirit of beauty and complexity. There is a wonder that flows from this very special instrument, and my mission is to spread the joys of kalimba music around the world.

Kalimba Magic is the leading website for South African Hugh Tracey kalimbas, kalimba music, and kalimba instructional materials. I invite you to stay and discover what is going on in the kalimba world!

"I have a good friend, Andre, who lives in Moscow last 15 years... He told me a story, that they use the kalimba in hospitals. They just sit a boy with a kalimba beside a sick person to play day and night over! It's a healing sound! It brings men back to themselves, to inner relaxation. Give kalimbas to everybody, and no need to start a new war!" —Peter, 2009 more feedback
