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.
