Kutsinhira

: "This article refers to the Shona musical part. For the Cultural Arts Center located in Eugene, OR, go to Kutsinhira Cultural Arts Center."

In Shona music, the kutsinhira is the following part. The kutsinhira is often a beat behind the kushaura part, but not always. More generally, the kutsinhira is the part that is more, or mostly off the beat when compared to the kushaura.

Usually the kushaura player begins to lead the direction of the improvization, and the kutsinhira player follows or otherwise responds, especially with regard to particular registers, low or high. Emergent high and low lines are then composed of the interlocking of the kutsinhira part with the kushaura, rather than the lines of any one player alone.
