 Peacheson Ngoshi (Mhofu) "Peaches"
Mhofu's hosho is the crucial backbone to everything that happens in a Mbira dzeMuninga performance. Often understated in his playing, Mhofu can whip a Mbira dzeMuninga arrangement into a frenzy with the stroke of one hand so subtly that it almost seems as if he is whispering into everyone's ear that they need to speed up. In addition to his hosho, Mhofu plays the Nhovapasi (bass) mbira with the group.
 Jacob Mafuleni (Soko) "Jacob"
Jacob Mafuleni, of Mbira dzeMuninga, is a multitalented gwenyambira who is as equally adept at ngoma, dance, and guitar as he is with mbira. Jacob is a highly sought-after musician in Zimbabwe, performing with the renowned musician Chiwoniso Maraire and Vibe Culture. He was previously a member of Mawungira Enharira and has recently formed the band, Sweet Calabash, in Zimbabwe.
Edmond Micah Munhemo (Mudyanevana) "Micah"
Mudyanevana is the elder "sekuru" of the group holds a deep sense of history and a presence that bespeaks of a shaman. In Mbira dzeMuninga's repertoire, his Nheketo (high lead) mbira lines are sparsely laid out and yet have the effect of filling the whole sound. His graceful presence and backing vocals make Mbira dzeMuninga's live performances unmistakably special, as if one is in the middle of a healing ceremony at the same time that one is dancing to their music. Countless times, audiences have been drawn to tears as soon as Mudyanevana's nheketo mbira comes in, as if their souls have been touched by the mbira and spoken to in a way that can only be understood in the spirit world. His facial expressions when he plays the mbira are those of a man playing with, and for the spirits.
Tonderai Ndava (Mwendamberi) "Tonde II"
Tonderai Ndava, youngest member of Mbira dzeMuninga, has a highly improvisational style of mbira playing, yet is deeply spiritual at the same time, routinely summoned to play at traditional spiritual ceremonies in his village. Tonde plays the rhythm mbira (hweva), adding harmonic vocals and wildly entertaining dance moves.
 Martha Thom
Martha Thom graces Mbira dzeMuninga as an impeccably skilled traditional dancer, hosho player and singer. Her energy and skill is hard to match. She began performing in her primary level of school and continued to dance in school performing groups through 1992 when she then joined Shingayi Traditional Dance Group in Harare. She has taught student groups and private lessons at the College of Music. In 2003, Thom joined Chiwoniso and Vibe Culture and toured Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Djibouti.
