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.
