What are some of the musical aspects that make the mbira sound so complex?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Each key of the mbira emits a cluster of overtones (see definition of overtone above), the resonator further modifies and manipulates the sounds, buzzing bottle caps (attached to the soundboard and resonator) add a rhythmic element. Tones overlap . . . the whole is far more than the sum of the parts WOM, citing Berliner, 1993.
