Album Details
2006 release by the single most popular musician in Zimbabwe for over 25 years. Mapfumo draws on such an array of genres - African jazz, classic R&B, Shona spirit music, rock, reggae and a variety of local Zimbabwean styles - that he has formed a completely new style of music, which he calls 'Chimurenga'. Loping rhythms form the bedrock for the groove which is constant, incessant and which underpins the horns, the vocals, the African girl's chorus and chants - it is as unique and in it's own way as influential on his country as Fela Kuti or even western performers such as James Brown.
Album Description
Thomas Mapfumo is Known as the Lion of Zimbabwe for Good Reason. As a Young Musician He was Jailed by Ian Smith's White Government of the Old Rhodesia for Subversive Lyrics and Fomenting Rebellion. He was the Hero of the Forces of Liberation who were to Go on and Win Freedom for the People of a New Country - Zimbabwe. Since 1979 He Has Been the Single Biggest Star in that Country and is a True Man of the People. So it Has Been Especially Hard for Him to See the Problems that have Come About Over 25 Years of Mugabe's Rule - and this Being the Lion of Zimbabwe, There was No Way He was Going to Stay Quiet for Long. So Now, Once Again He Finds Himself on the Wrong Side of his Country's Government, his Records Banned, his Life in Danger. He Now Lives in Exile in the USA, but his Music is Still Totally, Uniquely, his Own - and Once Again is a Call to his People to Change...to "Rise Up".
