They were waaay ahead of their time, the performances, lyrics even the production levels are still of high quality even today. Don Gumbo was a legend it is sad the way he passed though
Keith was also Tuku's tour sound engineer in the early 2000s. I met him when they toured the UK in 2002. I was one of the DJs booked on the tour to curtain raise before Tuku went on stage. I remember when I played True Love at the concert in Milton Keynes, Keith came over to me with a HUGE grin on his face and said, "I played the keyboard in this song." At the time I had no idea who he was and thought he was coming to tell me something about the sound levels. It then dawned on me he was the white guy who played in Ilanga when I was kid in Zim as he had the accent from home! Up until I played that song, Keith was busy being professional doing his sound thing so hadn't spoken to him during the tour. All that time I just thought maybe he was one of the Brit engineers they had hired for the tour to do the sound. That was the time I meet Keith.
That's really a fascinating story, thank you for sharing !
Keith came with Freshly Ground to HIFA
What a story❤about a legend
Making this documentary I realized how little is known about Don Gumbo and If anyone knew him personally or know his family please reach me on pridebonganincube@gmail.com. I would like to make a documentary about him.
Thank you for documenting these great musicians. Your documentaries give a voice to people whose stories are rarely celebrated. Well done for that.
Thank you so much
I really really appreciate this
Don Gumbo moved to South Africa where he met up with his mates school boy mate the late Lucky Dube and others but he maintained and kept the name of his band Ilanga in South African but after a time I only heard he passed on what he died from or took his life I don’t know but it was a great loss and a big blow to the music world , he was a great sound gentleman Don was.
Keith didn’t “collaborate” with Chiwoniso on Rebel Woman but he actually produced the whole album.
This is gold right here ! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
EarGround thank you so much 😊
Umkhulu umsebenzi owenzayo! SIYABONGA!!
Don Gumbo,, Andy Brown...those were legends..
Ilanga The Best Team Ever
This is very well researched documentary. Very good work my brother. They still are way ahead of their time
thanks for the history of our Zim music loved this
Nice, informative tribute, thanks! I used to go to their concerts as a teen. They have remained a symbol to me of the promise of Zimbabwe.
Tshisalanga my very best song make me miss my brother Kennedy(MHSRIP)
I enjoyed this one and the one you guys did on Lovemore Majaivana. Can you consider documenting Zig Zag band too. Thanks
These dudes moved further to Harare where it was a bigger environment on the music scene and formed Ilanga then and I had a chance to meet up with Don and Andy when they where playing at Shamwari Hotel in kwe kwe in 1983 late November I used to be a DJ for a top disc jockey then in kwe kwe . That was Ilanga they played the best for it was the team again Andy Brown Don Gumbo and Crd Chinx Kieth and the rest of the gang I did have a chat with the dudes then fir they where like elder brothers to me and they where happy for I was a DJ then back in the day.
I only just stumbled upon this.. soo so good.. you are a fantastic antastic storyteller..
Thank You So Much !
Thank you so much for this. Great history. Did Edwin Hama not join Ilanga as well?
this is the best combination ever in Zim
I think Bhundu Boys was the best combination
Good job, well researched.. saw Ammara Brown there, wow, Andy Brown passes away in 2012 wow! Good to hear Busi is doing well in Norway..
Respect for this well researched presentation this super group needs a full movie 🎥
indeed they do, a Zazise picture in a couple of years...
@@zazise8063 looking forward to that
In those days in gweru you had a band as well called groove I still remember the lead guitarist Stanford and Elton he use to blow the saxophone the trumpet was a slim dude he joined Thomas Mapfumo but talking about GWERU it was the talk to cities then in the 1980s for bands used to come in and out , that’s how the great Don Gumbo and Andy and David the drummer came together
Andy started with impacted first when Green in gweru 6th street that is where he used to stay at Shongwein shabeen I used to go and list to them practice every day he then met Don in gweru then formed the group Ebony Sheeck they had two drummers
Thank you, That fills in a gap. Do have any more information pertaining to Don Gumpo? I would really like to make a video about his career.
Siyabonga bro
They were too talented to be under one roof, so to speak
When these guys where advertising them selves the guy who did their posters and paintings was my own brother called Issac Ndlovu the late my name is Charles Chirenje
Quiet an insightful documentary, thanks
Pride am your new fan bro, this content is lit. l never knew about these things
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this
Thank you
Wow this is great. But how come he didn't appear on video ?
The band was spot on
Keep it up
ILanga united extremely talented individuals and much as we'd love such to remain unified chances will be they will split. For me Silver n Gold..Tshisalanga and Shosholoza are iLangas timeless greatest. And Andy Brown's Spirit and his contribution on Chiwonisos Ancient Voices is what hurts most about such lost talent. Big up to sis Busi. Respect for Cde Chinx. And again for me the most uncelebrated total genius is Keith. He never seemed to clamor for limelight but true heart of a servant he masterfully contributed to these and various others. The best of Tukus songs for me are found where he served. I pray he also finds full satisfaction and pride in being probably one of most influential music persons to have matured zimbabwe music to international level.
To the Browns....your parents it's like zimbabwe does not have enough words to appreciate what they gave.
