The time Mtukudzi covered a Chimbetu hit: In 1986, Simon and Naison Chimbetu recorded Ndiyamure, on the Dendera Resango album. Tuku loved the track, recorded his own version. He later performed it on stage a few times with Sulu Chimbetu.

In 1989, John Chibadura and the Tembo Brothers toured UK and Netherlands. Here are two versions of Hosana; the original recorded at Shed Studios in 1988, and the one they performed live - in one take - at the BBC Radio studios in London while on tour. True masters of the game!
