i think we would definitely be much better and bigger in the arts sector if people like Mr. Mono had influential positions, ministerial or organizations etc
Great insights from Trust, travelling does open the mind. From what I have learnt here is what's international is just local authentic sound being played outside the borders such that when you hear it you can instantly identify where it comes from. So our artists need help understand this. Also our radio stations together with the audience need to be aware of all this that they have a role to play. We need to realise we have a role to play. In South Africa their clubs, taxis, radio stations play amapiano so it's easier for it to blow. No more copying anyone.

Trust ishasha iyo. Iyo yemaRadio Stations Quota yakakoshesa!!! Dai maiendesa kumberi, it's so important! Great interview indeed. Mkoma Mono you're a legend & national treasure.
The period around 2008 was the best time of my life in Zim in terms of big projects I could do and accomplish with very little money. Just reminds us why the crisis in Zim continues - dysfunction benefits some (few) people, who want the crisis to persist. Keep up the good work Trust and Mono
Very humble but talented musician. Well done to Mokoomba and thank you Trust for mentioning people who helped you in your journey. Good luck. Thanks Blah Mono. Only a Jam Session was missing.
Mono Mukundu what a treasure is so knowledgeable in music and unfortunately a few not many our reluctant to tip in his knowledge and his knowledge in marketing and knowledge in music and Zimbabwe culture music
My friends used to ask me play songs from Zim here in the Uk... and they will be saying this sounds like South African ,Nigerian,american etc... and later played Jiti ya baba Harare ,kurai Makore ,mbira ,Mkanya and they loved it ... I realised Zimbabwean sound has to be Zimbabwean ...not to sound foreign and try to sell it abroad ...Musik identity ,creativity pama melodies apo...
I am glad you mentioned (towards the end) that there are western musicians are introducing the mbira beat in their songs which means they have explored beyond their borders which should and is applicable to us as in learning classical instruments. At the music school students should be exposed to as much as possible to other instruments especially African rhythms.
Guitars and keyboards are both western instruments.What we referred to was classical guitar, which is a music genre rather than a musical instrument.In the rest of the world, Mbira is not taught in schools; instead, individual musicians experiment with it.So my point is that I do not see the need for us to learn Western genres in school that we can not use anywhere in Zimbabwe and not learn our own genres.
@@Monomukundu I actually got your point first time (in the interview) but is there really a problem learning both in line with thinking globally? Are we teaching for the local market only. Music like any other profession should get you a job anywhere in the world.. In my field of architecture students are encouraged to learn architecture from other regions as well as other religions like Islamic Architecture. A school of music should have a broad approach. remains my view especially if they are limited like here in Zimbabwe....the problem arise when it focuses on foreign aspects at the expense of local ones.
Thanx for the contribution@@munyamurombe6008 There is nothing wrong with learning foreign genres; both Trust and I play them.However, teaching European genres that cannot be used locally while not teaching our own music is completely wrong.You cannot join Jah Prayzer and play classical guitar. Second, it is incorrect to believe that you can learn classical guitar and then compete against European musicians.You actually go global with your own music, rather than imitating other countries. So you are saying that because they do not teach sungura in Europe, they do not care about the global village?It is because they know you go international with your music genre, not borrowed genres.
Kutoshaya distinctive melodies it's a sure sign of hunyope baba,dzava simbe idzamazuva ano....they are not in the music industry not for music But Mari chete
Someone told me a story that Trust auditioned for their band (zim popular band), and he did not make it, but a few months later, they met him achi zvambura kuMukoomba. #dedication and #hardwork.
All along kanga ndine confusion kuti vanhu 2 here ndaimuona pashows eMukoomba ndoona achiita majam session muHarare while Mukoomba is based in Vicfalls
You mèntioned Mlalazi. Oooh my God! He is an unsung hero in the art world. He taught me stage presence in community theatre at Elangeni Training Centre. The guy is good.
I do not see any harm in learning classical instruments as such, the problem arises when we focus on it at the expense of our own. May be in the western world they do not have people who can teach mbira music as an example. I would recommend to explore other forms of music while focusing on our African rhythms.
You did not get the point: we are not talking about classical or Western instruments.Guitars and keyboards are western instruments too.We are talking about classical music, which is a Western music genre that cannot be used in any Zimbabwean band. So we are saying that a Zimbabwean music institution should teach Zimbabwean music first and foremost, so that when you graduate from college, you can apply your skills in a Zimbabwean band.There is national pride and relevance there.
Zimbabwean musicians vane nharo . If u tell them kuti kune slot yeChimurenga kuma Grammys awards havaterere its only Kurai Makore akuita Chimurenga music iwo vari busy neAmapiano, nemaNaija beats which is not Zimbabwean thereby loosing an opportunity to go International.
Trust anorova thanks mkoma Mono, I love your work, but I think in your interviews, you are talking more than the person you are interviewing. I am not a journalist hangu but I think murikuwanza tsananguro potse potse kudarika wamadana. Just an observation
This is not your typical interview; it is a discussion between two experts.So we both speak.Keep in mind that there are eight types of podcast systems, and most people are still stuck with the old model.

Great discussion point at 37". Why should Zimbabwean music be set according to European standards? Like the guy is saying our music changes gears at least twice average thrice. Mono, you're one person who emphasises identity but on this aspect, you seem to be losing that teaching. When you Monolised Rugare Huya, I bemoaned this very point because I felt you ended the song before it actually started. Zvekuti kana uchiiridza pa party, inopera vanhu vave kutanga kunakirwa, which is very disappointing. Let's make our own African standards as a people - 10 minute songs should be the norm. Kanindo, Dembo, Mapfumo, Macheso did it using that approach
That was not my point; please watch the video again. My main point was to create distinct guitar melodies, which Zimbabwean musicians have always been known for and which I believe new artists are losing. I then provided an example of a set of new principles used in the global market to address the new generation's loss of attention span.But I never said Sungura should last 3 minutes; that rule will never apply to Sungura.However, for all other genres, it only applies to recordings (not live shows). Then your Monolization example is different.If I get a 2 minute video I Monolise it for those 2 minutes unless people request an extension like what they did on Rugare Huya

Why should Zimbabwean music be set according to European standards?
Like the guy is saying our music changes gears at least twice average thrice.
Mono, you're one person who emphasises identity but on this aspect, you seem to be losing that teaching.
When you Monolised Rugare Huya, I bemoaned this very point because I felt you ended the song before it actually started. Zvekuti kana uchiiridza pa party, inopera vanhu vave kutanga kunakirwa, which is very disappointing.
Let's make our own African standards as a people - 10 minute songs should be the norm.
