"I met Chiwoniso in Harare ( Zimbabwe) during the HIFA festival in 2006, I was immediately captured by her voice and her amazing stage presence. We met afterwards and had a chat about life and music, both left with a promise to make music together.  Few years later (2011) I was called back to perform in Harare again, Chi agreed to write the lyrics on two songs I was working on. The result was just a-m-a-z-i-n-g, when I discussed money she answered “I just would like you to play in my album next time..”  Miss you Chi   a xx

"Rise Up" is part of series 2 of the Real World Gold re-issued albums - released 30th July.

Thomas Mapfumo was the voice of a revolution, the icon whose music soundtracked the death of Rhodesia and the birth of Zimbabwe. But, by the time he recorded Rise Up in 2006, the tables were turned, the optimism extinguished. The Zimbabwean authorities now hounded Mapfumo, who quietly slipped out of the country to live in the US. The folk hero was now the exile, giving him new reasons to continue singing his chiming songs of freedom. And they’ve never sounded as vital as on Rise Up. 
“Classic laidback Afro-groove, with hints of reggae and Mapfumo’s baritone remains richly defiant” – Observer Music Monthly

[APWW #477]  [Originally aired in 2005]  
This Hip Deep edition explores the legendary early career of Thomas Mapfumo, a singer, composer and bandleader whose 1970s music set the stage for the birth of a new nation, Zimbabwe.  Using rare, unreleased recordings, and recollections by Mapfumo, key band members, and prominent Zimbabweans who lived through the liberation struggle, this program traces the development of "chimurenga" music.  Central to the program, are research materials gathered by Mapfumo biographer Banning Eyre, and commentary by ethnomusicologist Thomas Turino, author of Nationalists, Cosmopolitans, and Popular Music in Zimbabwe.  One of the great stories of African music's role in history is told here as never before.

Thomas Mapfumo: The Mugabe Years

Part 2 of the story of Zimbabwe’s most consequential singer and bandleader picks up at the dawn of the country’s independence in 1980. The program focuses on key songs from Thomas Mapfumo’s vast post-independence catalogue, beginning with his celebration of victory, and his warnings about “dissidents” out to destabilize a young nation struggling for unity. The 1988 song “Corruption” officially opens Mapfumo’s rift with the regime of Robert Mugabe, turning a government financial scandal into a pop culture sensation. 1999’s “Mamvemve” accuses leaders of betraying the promises of the liberation struggle and reducing a rich country to “tatters,” and 2003’s “Marima Nzara” takes the government on over Zimbabwe’s most prolonged and vexing challenge—reclaiming land stolen from Africans by Rhodesian settlers over a centry of colonial rule. In all, this is an amazing saga of a popular singer’s evolution from enthusiastic booster to caustic critic of a young African government.

Zimbabwean historian Mhoze Chikowero contextualizes all these songs with vivid descriptions of the issues and events that Mapfumo’s work both responded to and shaped. Afropop producer Banning Eyre has been researching a biography of Mapfumo for more than 15 years, and the program draws upon his, and Afropop’s, wealth of archival interviews and rare musical recordings. The result is a persuasive portrait of a brilliant musical innovator and an under recognized titan of African post-colonial cultural politics.

Thomas Mapfumo, Njiva

Should a sudden misfortune befall a family, they turn first to their ancestral spirits for advice, guidance and protection. In many cases a family has a special spirit, or Mudzimu which, when properly appeased, speaks directly to the family through a living spirit medium.
