Answer to Question 1

 Participation by the audience makes them part of a communal performance
 The hand-clapping adds to the polyrhythmic (polymetric) quality of the music (See examples of hand-clapping phrases for mbira music in Worlds of Music Transcription 3-17, p. 143)

Answer to Question 2

 Each key of the mbira emits a cluster of overtones (see definition of overtone above), the resonator further modifies and manipulates the sounds, buzzing bottle caps (attached to the soundboard and resonator) add a rhythmic element. Tones overlap . . . the whole is far more than the sum of the parts Worlds of Music, citing Berliner, 1993.
