Anyone remixing Chitekete is brave 😁What do you think of this teaser from DJ STAVO?

Classic Zim bangers that will outlast us all. Eternal. 🔥 📷 DJ Simba Tunes.

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.

Did you know: The legendary Zig Zag Band recorded two versions of the classic Gomo Ramasare. The original was recorded in 1987. ❓Let’s see if you have a good ear and know your music: Which one is the original between these two great tunes??

There’s a reason why many guitarists don’t attempt to play John Chibadura’s guitar lines. According to Mono Mukundu, Chibadura had a unique style that many guitarists find hard to do! Check out some of his legendary guitar lines. 🔥

1/ Thread 🧵 The word “legend” is used too loosely at times. But on Madzibaba Nicholas Zakaria? It sits perfectly. They call him “Senior Lecturer” because he nurtured the talents of many Sungura stars. Here’s a small thread on the icon. But first, a few of his bangers 🔥

May you have a good week — the kind of week the guy in the white shirt must have had after this. Mans had the time of his life.

RIP Admire… Great tribute by InTotal Band to this super talented Sungura great. Taka Mukundu, as ever, got Admire’s unique lead guitar line spot on! 👏🏾👏🏾 (🧵Thread below)

“Watch out…big storm is coming” This classic Zimbabwean rock song from the 1970s, by Wells Fargo, featured in the first episode of the 2025 TV show TASK, featuring Mark Ruffalo. The song was re-relased on a Wells Fargo compilation in 2016.

Talking about musicians and “borrowing” (*ahem*) from other artists, here’s a thread of some pieces of Zim music that are similar to others. 1/ Kwedu by Sulu Chimbetu (ft Tuku) vs Kasuku by Orchestra Les Wanyika

Peak Orchestra Mberikwazvo! Macheso Zakaria Zakaria Charles Chembe Gift Putazi Donald Gogo Thomas Dasinto Rogers Fatiya Jabulani Chimiti William Tsandukwa Jonas Kasamba Remember the year this classic dropped??

Pastor Bandimba caused quite a stir in church circles when he dropped this one! 😀 Blessed Sunday…

Alick Macheso &gt;&gt; Noel Nyazanda &gt;&gt; Lucky Mumiriki &gt;&gt; Innocent Mijuntu. Obert Gomba on drums! Men at work 🔥🔥🔥 One of the greatest sequences in Zim music ever.

Greg Sanders, UK, playing this famous Zim rhythm/lead guitar combination from 1981. Quiz: 1. What’s the name of the song? 2. Who played the original guitars?

Many have tried, many failed! Any seasoned guitarist will tell you it’s impossible to recreate Alick Macheso’s lines. But these youngsters Naphtali Chivandikwa (bass) &amp; Taka Mukundu (lead) said bring it!🔥 Watch their Macheso tribute in full here

A deep prayer for family, and indeed for the nation: Mike Mopo really went deep when he wrote ‘Ndiyoyi Mhuri Yangu’, released in 1993. Lyrics:

Zim rock legend 🎸 In ‘72, a young guitarist tore up a rock festival in Mutare, in a T-shirt that read: “Hendrix is dead: Manu Kambani is alive.” He died in 95. At his funeral, mourners rolled on the ground with his guitar, like he used to do. Shumaira - Best Zim rock ever!

Madzibaba’s Zomvelamvela is a jam…👌🏾 📽️ Wisdom Family, Botswana 🇧🇼

Bet you’ve never heard this Tuku song… 😎 Rewinding to 1977, one of his very first recordings. Chinhambwe shuwa…

Talking about musicians and “borrowing” (ahem) from other artists, here’s a thread of some pieces of Zim music that are similar to others. 1/ Kwedu by Sulu Chimbetu (ft Tuku) vs Kasuku by Orchestra Les Wanyika
