uyu mkuru uyu the arrangement of instruments is something else

[@msinyoro5445]

Original, unmitigated, raw and authentic Shona folksong presented with passion, and rustic charm and applomb

[@74tawa]

Some fourty years on and we're still in love with the legend!

[@shekichitapi6329]

The versatile and volatile Thomas Mapfumo ❤

[@tavasikachabvonga5026]

I see the late Tobias Areketa, remembering the good old days. Great song of unity

[@theophilustinashenenjerama4643]

the chanting is deep and a reflection of the artistic characteristics of Mapfumo, a mark of his musical identity which is inspired by the cultural ceremonies of Zimbabwe. This is a legend whose music is timeless and is a preservation of an identity only found in traditions of Zimbabwe.

Gandanga Sekuru Makwira miti Mukanya, makumbo mana, muswe ndo weshanu, vana mupona nezve kuba, vano famba vachi pazha, ehunde jena soko mukanya tazviona.

[@mightykangaroos]

Wonderful stuff Matt. Pidi Gori has always been one of Mapfumo's best songs. The clip references Ian Smith but we all know who he is singing about these days.

[@jaychirandu346]

I thought the song was quite curious, more like ironic than merely interesting.........
