Answer to Question 1

 Mbira music helps connect the living with their ancestral spirits who can help and advise the living.
 These spirits can enter the body of a living person through possession trances.

Answer to Question 2

 The Shona who live in present-day Zimbabwe, are among the sixty million Bantu-speaking people who predominate in central and southern Africa.
 The Shona have become a more decentralized, agricultural people.
 At the turn of the twentieth century English-speaking settlers imposed colonialism on the Shona area (former Rhodesia). As a result of this colonialism, many local people came to doubt the traditional ways of their ancestors.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
