Good morning, today we find us yet another album with Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited. His chimurenga has distinctive style and is to be recognized from thousands. I have been a fan since the very first time I laid my ears on his music. The record we have today is from 1993, maybe not[...]

It was fun making a couple of Global Samplers and we'll soon do a few others. Now let's post something else. It has been a while since we had music from Zimbabwe. This one was still waiting to reach you. We had ten of his works so far and today 'Zimbabwe Mozambique' from 1988 finds[...]

Eerlijk gezegd dacht ik dat ik deze al eens pepost had maar kennelijk heb ik me daarin vergist. Toen ik Rik's verhaal gisteren las ben ik de platenkast in gedoken en vond er nog enkele die jullie nog niet bereikt hadden. Thomas Mapfumo en zijn Blacks unlimited hebben er nog al een paar geproduceerd dus[...]

What have we got for you today ? I guess the Blacks Unlimited were at the peak of their performance days when they made this here album in 1983. Maybe it's just me but it sounds so fresh and sparkling, almost like it was recorded yesterday. I must say I am a big fan of[...]

Hello out there, what's up ? Here at the GG things are slowly finding their way and soon we'll have everything running without interference. In the meantime to keep up appearances this lp by Thomas Mapfumo. It's from 1995 and one can hear the chimurenga change into a more modern sound. Still undeniably sweet, listen..[...]

Wanted to post this LP way earlier, however because of a disturbing series of ticks and tacks straight from the beginning, I posponed it a couple of times. Today I decided to post it anyway and fade start past the disturbance. You must know that we miss a couple of tones consequently. It's a shame[...]

Tomorrow or rather, today, 21st of june, I'll go to the Amsterdam_Roots_Festival, a multi cultural music event in the Amsterdam Oosterpark with 7 stages and groups from all over our Globe.

Let's see what we got in the car. Okay, now everybody hold something in your hand. Perfect, great coverpicture. The music of Thomas Mapfumo and his Blacks Unlimited is almost hypnotizing. It makes you drift away to unknown destinations. The Lion of Zimbabwe they call him and if you like to know more about 'Chimurenga'[...]

From Zimbabwe this is Thomas Mapfumo, he's back with an album of Greatest Hits and they are absolutely great. Astonishing rhythms and guitarwork, Mapfumo's coolness, a true beauty.

'Chimurenga' is what they call this type of music, and it is from Zimbabwe. Thomas Mapfumo comes in with this superb LP, he is the master in this style. Originally released on Gramma in 1980, this is a 1986 re-release on Earthworks. Very subtil guitar pushed African type of groove. You'd better judge yourself. tracks; 1 Shumba 2 Hwahwa[...]
