This lively, haunting and bittersweet memoir was shot July 1973 in Mozambique before 20 years of civil war and severe drought almost entirely devastated Chopi culture. The film, a scrapbook of sorts, is one of the few remaining records of Chopi life before the horrors, and is attended at its conclusion by footage of what remained of Chopi life 20 years later.For the Chopi, music is an integral part of every stage of one's life. “A Spirit Here Today” explores the Chopi’s interwoven matrix of music and personal development, from youth into adulthood, where one graduates from “smaller musics” to the ultimate Chopi expression: the timbila xylophone orchestra. Throughout the movie, the path of personal development is paralleled with stages of musical education. Song text is explained to illuminate Chopi values, humor and identity. Chopi master musician Venancio Mbande collaborated with the filmmakers in production and post-production. He provided new translations to old songs, verified the contexts of the performances, and thus ensured an exact presentation of a way of life that has forever changed. Although this documentary film preserves cultural traditions that otherwise would have all but disappeared, it also is a celebration of the enduring Chopi spirit of “persevering in the face of adversity.”

(literally - 'to straighten me') "My uncle gave me a brown cow Which, if it rains, will give me a pailful (of milk) Don't boast of your lover Boast of your husband. One doesn't boast of a thief." The player sat on the ground with the right leg passed through the bow. She held the bow in her left hand resting the curved wooden part on the ground, string uppermost. She stopped the upper part of the string with her chin, the other end of the bow rested on an enamel basin turned upside down. A second woman joined her towards the end. She stopped playing at one point to adjust the enamel basin resonator. The instrument is played by both men and women. When asked when they play these songs, the answer was: "Any time - when we feel lonely."
