The Chamhembe Story | Episode 2- The Leonard Mapfumo Interview
Вставка

- The history of Zimbabwean music is incomplete without mentioning arguably one of the most pivotal and impactful eras ever. Some like to refer to this time as the urban grooves era and some simply call it “pakauya vapfanha vemaCD”.
As big as this movement was there is a huge fog around what it represents, this is seen in the many debates that surround the legacy of this era and it doesn’t help that no one was writing anything as this part of our history was unfolding. At the centre of this time however is Chamhembe, it’s the peak of what this era embodies. In this 5-part series SoProfound interviews some of the key people who made Chamhembe.
It's a front-row seat to one of the most impactful moments in Zimbabwean music history. Exciting never heard before stories, the history, influences and insight into some of the moments that shaped Zimbabwean urban music as we now know it.
In this episode SoProfound interviews Leonard Mapfumo
The series is produced by Intentionally Daring in collaboration with Tnash Creative Studio.
Chamhembe is the reason why we embraced huZimbabwe hwedu as a young generation 💕
This is one of the best local documentaries ever.
You can say that again
leo is good
Leo akapenga
Very true leo is good
Mapfumo has a lot to share, please invite him for Part 2. Don't leave out XQ towards the grand finale, he is the main man in this na Take 5.
makuhwa akuti XQ haasi kudaira phone phone lol😂😂😂
grand finale, DELANI! he should be the grand
Delan n Tek5 are the GUYS of the game my guy I tell you.
@@emaktronixbyedsonpreacher2114 l agree Delani took Fortune's ideas to a whole new level that saw the birth of "The Future" but l dont think he knows much about Chamhembe which later started after he went back to South Africa. @SoPround why did you leave this project hanging bro...come finish this thing up man. Bring XQ na Maskiri.
I like the part Leo talks about refusing to sign contracts and how it has impacted the growth of a formal music industry in Zim.
Stunner made it seem somehow...but Leo's perspective summed up everything perfectly. Without structures and systems nothing can survive. No matter how much passion you have.
You know I get goose bumps... I paused the interview and went to play Seiko over again... This is a superb piece of music
This series must be broadcast on tv ,than zvatinoisirwa pa zbc
It will be abused and lose its value. Bad idea
@@raymondchikuku1809 ZBC? Pay for content? lol, umoiziva here ZBC? if they paid do you think creators would be avoiding it?
Amen.
haha this was funny he's such a good storyteller.
Im just here scrolling and kiking everyone's comment coz we can all relate unoe, this is dope, so nostalgic
Leo anogona kutaura 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ari humble muface uyu, interviewer sando dzenyu. I can’t wait for the next episode, but pliz dzosa Leo toda part 2 lol
If you were a youth during the Chamhembe days then this series is 18 Carat Gold. I remember all the songs Mapfumo and Stunner talk about. Fantastic to hear the story behind the music. Well done boys. You are absolute legends.
one of the few interviews I have watched from beginning to end, I'm loving these interviews, they are raw, I loved the previous one with Stunner, and I love how they give each other credit, the Interviewer is awesome, he lets it get into a conversation, its good, its good
I'm loving this series
Plz dnt stop until u done wth the whole gang of pioneers.records and history hv to be set straight for ama 2000

I think we need Delani on the interviews.
Word
Absolutely, and ExQ, Placky, Innocent Tshuma too
Dellan episodes are out not ❤️
Maskiri and EXQ also
Hey Zim mates.
Whatever challenge you are going through, it might be stressing and disapointing but just know someone is going to be inspired and live a better life out of your story. Therefore, DONT GIVE UP, KEEP GOING FOWARD
So true
@@leonardarnoldmapfumo your story gave me power man. Be Blessed Super Star
Just loving how all these guys are so real and nyaya dzavo they actually relate. So far Des and Leo did justice to the interview!!!!
Thank God for grandma. Love your story telling Leo.
SoProfound asks questions like he's totally new to the thing. That's some lovely stuff👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿very objective...I hope unotanga che Hip Hop futi I'd be excited!
AFTER WATCHING THIS INTERVIEW IM NOW
YOUR AIRCON LEONARD MAPFUMO,NOLONGER A FAN!!
I would love to have a convo with Mapfumo. He seems very warm and a good talker! Legends!
Nice interview guys ,you take me back way back back into town .make a movie about chamhembe.Thank you guys for the interview , truly speaking chamhembe gave us good Muzik .
These Chronicles are Gold 👌🏾
Ama 2000s can never relate😂😂😂
Thanks for such content. That was a golden era
The guys could have hit it very big in a different context/country. That crew created and owned a whole generation's music taste for a good number of years. I hope they are working on some come back.
I really liked Leo's interview, he has a lot of stories to share. Thanks Profound & Leo for taking us back...sooo Nostalgic. I can't wait for XQ, Rocquie & Maskiri's interviews.
Ko hazviite here kuti muite Chamembe [REUNION]? I can see it work. One album chete. We are hungry for their art. SUGGESTION
They need to do this for Take 5
Mapfumo is rich and has so much to share with us. Such hidden treasure 👏🏽👏🏽
Urban Grooves Movement 🔥🔥🔥best times to grow up 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Mkoma wangu is an amazing Story Teller
What a story Leo. Great talent. As a former MPS student myself, I am very proud of you. Keep up the good work
it's nice to see how money and fame never changed him...He is so genuine and laid back.Big up yourself Bro .. ✌✌
The nostalgia generated by these interviews is amazing. I feel the same way listening to the episodes as I did watching the last dance. Really good work.
Leo Mapfumo during my youth days music yenyu ndakavhiringa nayo ma babe aaaah ma sports makapedza mdhara
Interviewer u know your thing....continue with them chronicles
The interviewer knows his staff
I Like the way these guys are so humble , its like a movie , big up to the movement Chamhembe
I have always thought kizomba could be big in Zimbabwe nice to know Chamhembe used it
That song "ndiwe, ndiwe, hakuna mumwe" will forever be on my favourite list since those years
My all time favorite still play it up to now
🤞greatest vibe of all time
Mine too ndanzwa nekuitsvaga
Dude appreciations and understand all kinds of music. Massive respect to him for that. Now do Maskiri.
Thanks wangu. Sooo looking forward to other chamhembe interviews. Good job!
The authenticity here is unmatched
Big up to you Leo vese vakuti part 2 turn 👍 blue
Good job .. finally giving these legends the flowers they deserve 🙌🏿.keep it going
One of the best, explains why Mapfumo was great at poetry, respect @ Soprofound. Chamhembe stories one of the best documentaries.
I am loving this series ! Please don't forget Tererai! I love her !! 😘
You also should be there
It's been a while since u started
Boy oh boy I really really enjoyed this. Of all the Chamhembe interview episodes this one is the best. Excellent storytelling there Mapfumo, there was never a boring moment apa twaz the longest big up chimdara. Urban grooves yakatipengesa pliz I remember going nekaPalito radio muclass ndiri a-level 2003 - 2004 ndoburitsa earphone neparuoko rwejuzi ndobairira kaearphone munzeve and pretend like ndakabata rushaya listening to you guys apa teacher arikudzidzisa that's how much influence you had on me
Hahahahaha u just reminded me of the "palito" it was a gem back wen we where at secondary ku boarding wen u the few having access to power fm etc kkkk
Invite Mapfumo for Part 2 he has a lot to share, great interview
This made me laugh out loud soo much. Mface anenya dzemujecha original
Haa dai ndanga ndiri mhene i was going to sponsor a Chamhembe rebirth live show! impatiently waiting for the rest! it's sad that MCVILLA won't be here to give his own. MHSRIP
Leo is a very good story teller, we need round 2. Your music inspired me guys... sooooo original... Had to negotiate with my Grandpa to go to bed with the stereo, kuti ndikutererei over night ma guys. Shout out to SoProfound, thank you for bringing back the memories. The interviews are on point. Very informative.
Amazing stuff, Thank you SoProfound I think we are all keen on hearing more people's versions Ex Q kunyanya because Ukuda Nyimo is a classic inotoda song @ Leonard Mapfumo. We grow up listening and watching these guys but never understood what they went through. Leo should come back anospaka. Delani's version would also be interesting because he was also Chamhembe by default.
Keep these coming,I certainly enjoy such throwbacks,also await,XQ, Pauline,Rockford,Nembo, Trevor etc
THESE GUYS MADE MY CHILDHOOD
POWER FM MADE IT POSSIBLE
CHAMEMBE
Who else also has a renewed appreciation for DELANI MAKHALIMA. We are surely waiting for his interview!
I enjoyed watching this story...these guys were heroes
Haa this is jst the best amana ..its too good n too original Kule Mapfumo the real OG ...cant wait for roki
The one of the best down to earth guy l respect Leo u did it clean my guy and the guy doing interviewing is on point ...we set an watched channel O 😂😂😂🇿🇼 zim was the best l agree 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🔥am keeping this interview for my kids to listen too
Great interviews.Thanks. Also interview Plaxedes pliz.
I honestly ddn't like Mapfumo before this interview, Now im on here searching UA-cam listening to his vibes and ndakumuda bigtime. LongLiveLegend
Great show SoProfound for sure. These guys really came a long way.
Leonard is a great story-teller. There shud also be another series for the Future artists, MuddFlavah, D Chifuyise, Guests (alexio, sani, mr bell), EnI, Snipper, Plaxedes etc...
thanks for doing this at least our younger ones the 2000s generation with understand how we used to vibe back then. #History
Leonard's energy is so 🔥🔥🔥
So pround this has been a wonderful docu series, hopefully you can stretvh it from 5-10 episodes, a lot of people are loving it
This interview was a performance on its own
Chamembe honestly paved the way! Great docu-series!
my grandma listened to Seiko vakaseka musoro waRocky.... shuwa it is a relevant point.....zvirikunzwisiska here.
Kwaaa ungati i roll on musoro wacho🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shaa kkk mama vangu vaiti i aids iyi
@@tracymutowekuziva7905 hahahahahahaha aitonzi uya wemusoro mama kumberi asi hahahah
Ihhh paya kamsoro kaRoki kaive kadiki apa naye akawonda plus huro refu
😂😂😂 this got to be the funniest thread I’ve read on YT so far.
Roki definitely looked funny on that video.
Fascinating documentary liked all 3 ....( stunner , Mafrique & mapfumo ) can't wait see more 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
17:15 Hahahahahaha I was one of the people waiting for bus... damn we had ambition mheni. But wouldn’t tell my parents ndirikuendepi. Our parents thought mabhuku was the way out. Anything different hupenzi
Man am loving this channel , thanx for connecting us back with our old legends ... Ko rocki aripi
Fascinating interview. Other artists can learn a lot from Leonard. SoPround, well done man, you need a part 2 with this guy. He has much more to share with Zim that others can learn from.
This gave me a good laugh, nice to hear how these guys came to where they are.
This guy is so humble i love him
Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this! Laughed out so loud at the nyimo story. Would love to see a part 2 of Leonard, he’s such a great storyteller and seems to have so much to share (and we want to hear it all).
Awesome video you can consider playing background music ya artist and showing video snippets like yeSeiko
I think after all these interviews are done, you should maybe create a pictorial timeline of all the highlights of these stories.
Loved the Leonard interview.
Thank you for the rich background of Urban grooves. Tsvagai vese ma legends.
Skilaz vakudiwa next
This has been so exciting 👏👏 can't wait for the next episode
Haa Leo anospaka boys he has a lot to say. Grandpa vakadai vanonakidza ini samzkuru will always stick around fo modern ngano. You the Chamhembe guys need to reunite coz you got the keys to smthng epic in Africa n the world at large. All of you guys can make a triple version of Tuku. Hehe l remember meditating love when l was listening to yo music yet l was only 5 by that time. We still wanna hear you sing. Arise its yo time to shine 😘😘😘
you guys should make a movie about this, Leonard Mapfumo thumbs up to grandma
“Uri kuda nyimo?” 😂😂😂 #XQ

This is good, so many memories
I love this guy.. he’s a really good story teller
This is the best content in Zim right now
