"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   

SONG FOR ZIMBABWE (Antonio Forcione - Chiwoniso Maraire)

"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

SIZOPHAKAMA (HIGHER ) (Zimbabwe Olympics Anthem) Abra Records

Zimbabwe: It is my bonzo renyama-meat and bone. My chocolate. I like Zimbabwe more than anything else. I feel proud of my country. It defines whom you are, it reminds all Zimbabweans to keep their identity and nationality as Zimbabweans. It is there for bring cultures together from different corners of the world.

The legendary Andy Brown sings his fans into party mode, on this collaboration, with his daughter Ammara Brown and producer Reverb 7. Ammara Says "He was known for his Rock-star life choices, and told me to celebrate his life when he passes. So it seems befitting that he go out rocking, rolling and smiling in the process!" Ammara parties with, gladly, as she keeps the family torch burning bright on the stage and the dance floor! (She loves chanting "Andy Brown Forever!!") Reverb 7 recorded the song many months before his (Andy's) passing and considers it an honor, as many do, to have worked with Zimbabwe's artistic genius. This is the last professional recording of the beloved Brown and it's bound to set Zimbabwean heart's aflame, wherever they are in the world.
