Zimbabwe is the Guinness world record holder for the biggest ensemble of marimba players.

The record was broken at the ZiMarimba Fest on May 25 at Prince Edward School in Harare.

Two hundred and twenty-two students played the popular marimba song, “Manhanga Kutapira”, on the marimba for 5 minutes, earning Zimbabwe the record.

The participants played together in the largest marimba ensemble and surpassed Australian record of 108 participants playing together in November 2016.
