Thomas Mapfumo & the Blacks Unlimited from Zimbabwe. Probably recorded in 1988, but released in Zimbabwe in 1989. With the one and only master of mbira guitar, Jonah Sithole. Converted to digital from crispy Zimbabwean vinyl. The sound of TM's records in the west was always compromised in the mastering process, they never sounded quite the same...

Thomas Mapfumo in concert. By Raymond Maingire Zimbabwe Times http://www.thezimbabwetimes.com/?p=5772 HARARE - Self-exiled top Chimurenga musician and traditional critic of President Robert Mugabe, Thomas Mapfumo, has agreed to travel to Zimbabwe this week to perform at a music festival organized to counter a world perception of Zimbabwe as an unsafe tourist destination. The Sanganai/Hlanganani World Travel and Tourism Africa Fair is set to run from the October 15 to 19 at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair grounds in Bulawayo . The music extravaganza to be staged Saturday will be the highlight of the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) organised tourism exhibition. The extravagant show unveils a publicity campaign by President Mugabes government to spruce up its battered image ahead of the 2010 World Cup in neighbouring South Africa . Government has splashed on top world musicians who include Jamaican reggae star Luciano, South Africas Mafikizolo and American artist Joe Thomas. Although yet to be confirmed, R and B youth heartthrob Akon is the star billing in this weeks show, also set to feature DRC dancing sensation Awilo Longoma and South African musician, Ringo Madlingozi. Local artists Sandra Ndebele, Tongai Moyo and Mbira Dzenharira will provide the supporting acts. Eyes will however be focused on Mapfumo, who has maintained his popularity in Zimbabwe while living in exile in Oregon in the United States through hard-hitting lyrics against Mugabes excesses. ZTA Marketing and Communications Officer Givemore Chidzidzi said Mapfumo had accepted the invitation to perform but was still to confirm his attendance. He is one of the artists we invited and he agreed to come, said Chidzidzi, adding that Mapfumos attendance would be formally announced once he confirms his attendance. We are communicating with him and are yet to receive the final word from him that he will attend, said Chidzidzi.

This song originated from Zimbabwean falktale, "ngano". The story is about a woman changes her body to a cattle.

Poor man is hated by women. Sung in Japanese.

Rovambira is a Japanese Chimurenga Band. We respect Mukanya chaizvo.
