The Chamhembe Story | Episode 5- The Roki Interview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- 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 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 Rockford "Roki" Josphats
The series is produced by Intentionally Daring in collaboration with Tnash Creative Studio
Rocqui the nucleus of urban grooves. ngatingo bvuma hedu . If you agree leave a mark
I’m also reading the comments like you
The way he remembers his journey so ka. This guy is intelligent and talented akangozvarirwa munyika isiriyo😔
akanyanya ka
This guy has a sort of a Dambudzo Marechera element in him, if u are not gifted in literature absorption interpretation u may think that he is talking gibberish! I wonder how he would be like in the absence of some form of addictions he is undoubtedly into! What a star!
Rocqui the legendary!! Ndanzwa nekuseka kani ,this is amaizing .Talented to the core
Roki can do it all if he really wants to. He's just an all rounder. The accents he does are on point combine that with his intelligence he can go further. He still has it.
One of the best artist of our time. His voice is just as excellent
It don matter hw ppl see Roki but I like him n I like his music
Roki's humour, unparalleled. Really enjoyed this one
Yeh😂😂😂
Hausati wamboswera neteam
"There are people who are able to have an environment travel around them, and if you put a whole bunch of them they have a travelling reality"Roki 2020
Yesss wakanyanya u jus quoted a rich remark there!
45:28 "we were deep and then we'd get shallow about being deep." well, that's certainly deep!
2021
Roki brought me here, binging on all the videos now! On a side note, you should turn this into a Netflix doccie , animate some of the scenes and have Roki do voice overs for all them characters, he's soo funny😂😂😂
Urikuziva skiri...
Great idea indeed
He must just join radio. That voice is to die for❤️
Roki is an amazing story teller Lolx... is it just me or takawanda who love roki‘s accent and Word articulation 🙌🏾🙌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Every interview hinges on this one. This man is Chamembe in the flesh
I would say every interview hinges on Delani. Because everyone of them passed through Delani‘ hands but everyone worked with Roki.
Yew you would say that, but in terms of star power this is the man.
I couldn't agree with you more
Agreed. Uyo ndiye Mhembez wacho.
100% behind you
Anyone else totally star struck by how deep his talking voice is and how realllllllllly nice and clean his high singing voice is?
Ayaaas, ladies ladies pleaaase😂
Star struck? No.
Thats how the others got pregnant 😂😂😂😂
He couod talk to me all day long!
I have watched this episode more than 5 times..... It cracks me up everytime! 🤣🤣🤣... This guy is an entertainer
Roki mdhara , I don't judge him on his personal life.music wise he ia a goat. now m waiting for Delani
Same!Sanii Makalima too hey?
Check San Makhalima recent interview apo
m.ua-cam.com/video/7_9QbvpPx0M/v-deo.html
By the way, being called a goat is a compliment (just in case someone comes here in 2025 and wonders whats happening)
Roki is way too layered u need intelligence to follow what he is saying or going he is the nucleus of urban grooves
super layered and such a rich character
Roki is so brilliant , he is the greatest Zimbabwean 'modern' musical artist ever , I wish he talked a lil bit more about how he did Chidzoka though.
Rocki's role on Chamhembe season 1 is worth mentioning. his creativeness, his ability to write songs and lastly his presence in the studio
originality is what made this guy a legend kwete zvaStunner zvekuweredha level raanga asiri
This guy should consider acting😂😂😂 died of laughter the whole interview
Besides watching Jeremy Clarkson,Richard Hammond &James May i think I'd also listen to Rocky talk..Even if its ranting and raving about absolutely nothing,I'd still enjoy listening to this guy..he should just host a podcast or somethin..
Hhahaha
I really enjoyed this interview cause I used to see Roki in waterfalls very chilled guy and I think you should do a part 2 on Roki cause he had so much to tell just my opinion 🙂
i enjoyed all episodes, but i must say Leonard Mapfumo is so far the best chamhembe resource person. If we would have a chamhembe book, then Leo would be the writer.
true I enjoyed Mapfumo story
He gave so much insight
@@keithchiyanike2985 yahhhhh
@@simbarasheblessingchoto2700 not only does he have info, he is a good story teller.
@@keithchiyanike2985 he is a good story teller. from the interview, i could tell he has a lot to share
Thank you for celebrating a living Zimbabwean legend...ndivo anaDembo vemaBornfree.You definitely represent a whole generation of people.
The way I luv Roki's music soo kaaa ..dai mwari vangomubatsirawo aveSrs❤❤
This was my favourite episode I always feel Roki could have gone international... welldone SoProfound... chidimbu panze✌
I was part of that competition (Spotlight) doing hip hop. Listened to Roki singing back then we could tell he was unique and going far.
"Kana zvatonetsa totoimba nechishona." My boy DOCMAN'S Line ✊ @spotlight
The king of urban groves,one of the best vocalist of our time.its sad the king lacked the role model who were supposed to mould him and polish the star in him.And maybe the departure of Dylan in Rocki's life contributed in the loss of focus for the king.But above all the king is gifted.
Pane part ye interview ya Tererai that i liked she said ma urban grooves are where they are today ne nyaya yekuti vamwe vacho “vakazokura musoro “
@@missmtizira6066 yes dear tererai could be right kukura musoro kunovhara zvakawanda
For some reason I think this guy is making sense more than the other guys, to certain extent I love the maturity
After the previous episodes, I'm excited to hear what my favourite artist had to say.
Rocki is too humble!!! He's amazing always loved he's performances! I always look forward to his productions.
Roki should have gone international, l still think he still got wt it takes ,its never too late King, whatever has happened in his personal life should just be lessons learnt and not hinder his career, he just needs someone who can polish him and guide him to really show the Gem in him.Good luck Roki

Thank you for the chamembe documentary
You're welcome. Thank you for watching!
You are a natural presenter . U make fans engage with your interviews and the artists as well. Well done bro your interviews are very good. Keep being positive spreading e love.
Lol Roki Zim best but imboitai serious mudhara.tikudawo one year chete rekuti muitewo serious mukoma Roki.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥otherwise mauraya henyu pa episode iyi hats off.
arguably the best artist with his signature breathy vocal voice. Chidzoka song will remain his greatest song ever
Story teller,Creative being, Soulful, Intelligent and Humorous = Roki. All In all, So Profound... Thank you this was 👌
Nice podcast brother , good interviewing
Rocqui is a mood alltogether, i knew that his interview would be fire because he has such an artistic way of telling a story..... "travelling reality.." ndatotanga kuinzwawo ipapa, yakaipa... Fav part of this interview is at 57:50 zvechichamhembe chamhembe so
Zvechichamhembe chamhembe, vakapfeka zvechichamhembe
1:01:44 - what Roki is saying is true. I used to be pa ZOU and the dude wandairova naye maths kwa tutor is in the camp ya Ammara Brown. Ndiye aizondibatisa kuti Fizzo ndozvanoita nhasi unoenda vokuudza kuti handichaite zvema beats ndakunamata and the other day u go ikoko. He will be in the game making beats. Ini was like zvofamba sei? I couldnt believe him. Ndaitoti chii ndeyavo ma producers vanenge vachipisana maiziva. Then when Roki was saying this, zvabva zvangodzoka the day randaimubvunza nezve Akiliz in 2017 ichipisa. Kkk like Fizzo zvofamba sei amana? Great dude i talk naye on app he is humble anotaurika naye. I love his works.
This is history being told I wish as zim and Africans we write things down.
Deep interview. History of the music culture evolution delivered. A part 2 is required for him to actually speak on himself and his contribution.
cant we have this on ZBC between 8 & 9pm
Ahh, ukuda tione masese lol. They must improve on their transmission those ZBC guys
😂😂😂
I see what you did right there 😂😂😂
Our UA-cam content inonakidza kuona, paTv u know the outcome
@@stimawacho 😂😂😂😂😂😂 am sure team ZBC rinoshandisa ka samsung pocket to take there videos
My third time here and everytime I come its like i am watching this for the first time. That is how enjoyable this interview is to watch.
Roki vanotoda zuva rese coz vanemasasi.👏👏🔥🔥🔥👌
unarguably one of the best things to come out of Chamhembe,,still love and hooked on Chamhembe coz it was a culture as Roki has so eloquently put it 😍
Good job SoProfound keep it up. Hopefully, you will continue with more Zimmusic movements
ZBC could never. This channel is underrated .well done .
im pleased to know, im not the only one who sees a Dambudzo Marechera in Roki, he has an unorthodox way of narrating events, zvimwe zvipo so ka, zvakaoma
Nash paints and other promoters out there pliz bring Roki back to muzik industry and you won't go wrong.Just give him the chance to flow.
He just did one with Nash, its not bad. Name is Tebere, look for it.
@@leonardjani2923 True, I actually enjoyed the song
you left the biggest piece of the puzzle, pane muface anonzi Gilbert Muvavarirwa, founder/owner of Shamiso Entertainment...
What’s the name of the song playing at the very beginning?
Ndinorwadziwa nemupfana uyu,this was raw talent,cmbk Rocky
Roki pliz upload your muzik on the internet for US, the fans.
Thank you Sir in advance
Only if he was born in a first world country, dai ari billionare, from voice overs, jingles, music, radio & tv presenting, no wonder he was the fav ku BBA
This definitely goes down as one of my favorite all-time interviews to watch, kudos to Roki and SoProfound.
Rocqui sang a line on one of the songs “handisati ndamboona mashura akadai”.... maaaaan I jumped and jaw dropped. It sounded cooool,dope and in Shona
please get me this track
Munotiyi Yonah I will I’m cracking my head thinking of title.it was fast pace and singing with a girl
Wow thanks Rocqui for this... I was there seeing all this unfolding... Innocent Tshuma was a key player to get the music on radio. Delani was really really instrumental to the birth fo urban groove era... and the phone-in to sing on radio it used to happen Friday midnight. what a memory to refresh!!!
By far the best interview, so deep, so layered!! Shout out to Rocqui. The absolute Genius!
One of most talented Zimbos I’ve heard. Keep up the good work. The interviews are taking us back way back.
So profound ramba wakadaro nesuwo ticharamba tichiisa ma like chete
I love the history of our local music thank you SoProfound
The best episode so far in the series...dude is full of humor. Roki could hev gon way way far than wher he got in his career...
If his parents were supportive i can't imagine how it could have panned out... Eishhh parents, let's be supportive or the streets will get involved.
Very true what u just said there
I can tell Roki has really missed those days
Roki... he is a culture not just munhu. I now understand better!
Hats off to the interviewer. You allowed him to flow. Trust me, Roki is a genius zvemashuwashuwa.
Rocqui is a whole vibe! Great interview
Rocki wrote Ndofefeterwa?? wow! i love that song
Great interview, chidhakwa ichi chinonakidza kunge inini when high. Ndaspakwa😂
Waiting for delan and take 5....
This one is an icon who i feel he should have been an international act, wondering what went missing, he got it
Character takes one far
Roqi is just hilarious and this story though he told it so well. What these guys went through the emotions, the struggles and all that..ah Chamhembe story though
He is Music this guy...A Legend
Roki's a funny dude. Hahaha. Interesting history fam.
Wonder how Ndofefeterwa wd hv sounded like with Roki's voice, tho?
Wow,waiting for him I'm sure he indeed played a very big role in Chamhembe
fambai nayo ndima PROFOUND , mukutigonera. you are doing what no one else was able to do

This was so good. we need a part 2 yaRoki
Okay 🤔 I loved this interview as well as Leo's and Stunner's. Rockford's humor though😅, giggled throughout lol. Amazing work Soprofound 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Zamhembe racho ndi Roki! Well done SoProfound. Great content
Whats the name of the song tht plays before the interview?
Looking for it as well
You are doing well SoProfound
Roki's interview was good l laughed the whole time but Leonard's was the best. Mafriq hapana hapana vachine bitterness towards Delani

Had same question ! I think a chick named dicey is on it
Whts the name of the song
Reminder set..... PRO FOUND U DOING GOOD. Can't wait for this interview
I was waiting 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 vanogona vauya. This guy was supposed to be our very own “Burna Boy”
Yaaaaaas
Is it only Me who hate Maneta for costing Roki all that money?
That maneta character akatengwa chete coz vanga vatopenyerwa kuti Roki aizohwina I was hurt and haven't healed yet😭😭😭
@@Tendowekwamandiya true noone else could win it on that season besides Roki
Nope ! Takawanda
@@Tendowekwamandiya really felt he was going to win it .. until she happened
I still don't like maneta ... Ndarwara nebp that yr
I am looking for that Roki and DiC track. Can't find it anywhere
This is the one..
Manzwa he mentioned Nasty Pirate
Delani departure left a very big dent...ego yakavanyanyira l feel dai asina kuenda S.A dai ave somewhere else munyaya dze sounds here in Zim..remains a legend thoo
Zim economy yanga yadhakwa
Roki is a legend i have respect for him. That was a wonderful and a well detailed interview. I Wish him all the best in his musical journey, but i think he should try by all means to stop smoking iam not judging him but as a fan, I like Roki n i think he should be clean after all smoking is hazardous to health.
Is there a part 2? I'd love to hear more about Roki after Chamhembe kusvika 2020 Roki.
looking for the song which is playing at the start of the program Mr So Profound if you can help... baSky is in his own world.. lendendary stances manje
Prosper Ganya neni futi. If you get it please share
Yes please share
Wasn't really answering. Interviewer tried to stay on track but Rocqui ungorvenable
