New to Kalimbas? Follow These Inspiring Kalimba Artists

Thinking of getting your first kalimba or have one and in need of some inspiration?

While a lot of kalimba playing musicians have some prior experience with learning music, many out there have decided to pick up the kalimba as their very first instrument. So take it slow and learn how to play at your own pace. The only competition you should be worried about is yourself.

There are a number of excellent kalimba players and each one has their own unique style that makes you want to learn to play. To help you out, here are a few kalimba artists that make your kalimba learning journey fun.

Kalimba Communities - Kalimba Forum, Facebook, Reddit and More!

Still undecided about the type of kalimba to buy?

Or perhaps you bought yourself a kalimba and have no clue where to start?

Do you have a key or tine that does not resonate very well and need to ask someone about it?

Learning to play a kalimba is fun, and what makes it an even better experience is being connected within a community dedicated especially for kalimba players. While YouTube, Instagram and other social platforms are great for sharing song covers, there are some highly interactive kalimba channels that are very responsive to queries. Some even post uniquely informative kalimba content for beginners as well as experienced kalimba players.

A well-organised community invites discussion and plenty of learning. So if you want to interact with other kalimbaists, get going and join any or all of the communities below.

Welcome to Kalimba World!

Welcome to Kalimba World!

For my very first post, I would like to share what this blog is going to be about. 

It has been two months since I got my first two kalimbas (details in another post). I really do enjoy playing the kalimba, transposing notes, and even learning new ways to improve techniques and sounds. 

As much as I'm having fun learning, something still felt amiss. And then it struck me! What we all desperately want and need is a dedicated kalimba community space. So, I started this blog!

Plenty of resources here

- Get ready for resources redirecting to videos and guides for learning and reading kalimba tablature, as well as weekly updates on new songs to learn from various kalimba artists around the world. This includes any information that could come in handy for any kalimba learner, this is where you could find it.

- My own personal learning journey in relation to my Instagram and YouTube videos which could benefit other kalimba players will be featured here as well.

- Occasionally some related tongue-in-cheek posts too.
