Sometimes you ask yourself; how did I miss this? How can I have walked this earth for as long as I have without knowing about something this wonderful? Since I discovered Thomas Mapfumo hardly a day passes without listening and dancing to his music! 😍
Me.This is one of the greatest songs ever to come out of Zimbabwe - respect! It hits the soul. Zimbabwe is a country of lions (but currently ruled by a crocodile).
Too good. Thomas owns this sound. No one comes close. A lot is said about his guitarists, Jonah and Sugar but not much is said about the bassist. But just listen to the bass on this track!!
His second full album recorded in the late 70s. This is a liberation war song. It was penned in such a way that Rhodesian regime wouldn't get the true/full meaning of the song. Even some Shona people without deeper understanding still struggle even today to grasp the message. Nuff respect to Mr Music, The Lion of Zimbabwe, Thomas Tafirenyika "Mukanya" Mapfumo.
It pains me how we're losing touch with the language of our ancestry, i mean I'm Shona but I'm not getting the Shona in this song, it's either too deep or I'm too dump to get the very native language of our ancestry 😂
it reminds me the days I started following Gandanga, listening to his music.Gandanga is the best of the best, a champion and a fighter for human rights and democracy.
@@wendypinto7572 it is a traditional belief.. To solve some spiritual curse, a black goat is used to carry the curse. So literally the legend is saying.. I do not eat a black goat, It might be carrying a curse (spiritual). Hope that makes sense.
This the one Desert Island song I will save from the waves over all other songs.. I will dance to Shumba 'till my dying day and if ever end up in a coma, this song will be my way back
May the spirit of King Mutota Chirimaunga known as Nyati Chingaira Makoni arise...vene vegwindindingwi military strategist. Britain must repatriate his remains
I remember paArcadia apo early 80s Tommy always we remember all the good u have done to our ears Then I remember paGwanda apo Some Gukurahundi soldiers playing this this song Foolish guys
Put in other words he is saying beware infiltration during war times. these are the times when war collaborators provided crucial intelligence to the freedom fighters during the war. But they are being warned because even neighbors could sell you out. The song is intelligence 101 for war collaborators who aided comrades. How to be secretive, how to be stealth, how to be wise. Gwindingwi rine Shumba inoruma, The Jungle is full of devouring lions...meaning there is a lot of infiltration so beware who you speak to.
ah man, i cant even begin to express what i feel for this track. its just in me. i dont even understand the language. I'm a musician and lyricist. but i can't express it. its just....just
1981 album. It's no wonder Analog Africa calls it the greatest Zimbabwean album ever. Eight killer tracks, no need to skip anything from start to finish.
Who is listening with me in 2024.
Choop

I'm totally listening with you in 2024 🇿🇼🎶❤️
Great to know we are still feeling ourselves.
Rega.. rega... regera...hekani Mhukahuru!

One of the best gifts that dad bought for me in the 80's was this song rest in peace Sunday munatsi missing you everyday of my life
2023 still listening from Zambia RIP Papa Lancelot Mapfumo we miss you rest easy 🙏
Ask this guy is alive and kicking
When music goes deep down...and you feel closer to your ancestors..morning vibes Mapfumo a legend in making

Mapfumo is one of the best musicians of the 20th century. His music it's universal.
¡SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO!
Indeed it is uniniversal
It's GOOD
Love you man ❤
Can somebody translate for us to get message?
Mapfumo created the soundtrack for Zimbabwe's independence with hits like this.
This is one of those perfect songs. Great lyrics, great vocals, great musical instrumentation. Just simply PERFECT 👌
what do the lyrics mean
Thomas is a hero
It reminds me of my uncle Titus Mhandu he would dance to the tune nonstop
Sou moçambicana e amo demais essa música. Pura Africanidade ❤
Somos duas.
Somos 3
Miss you my country Zimbabwe 1980s
A song I can never stop listening to
Zim's greatest musician of all time 😊
and Tuku isnt even close. Mukanya went to jail for his country, for its independence they are still trying to kill him to this day
Too good. Thomas owns this sound. No one comes close. A lot is said about his guitarists, Jonah and Sugar but not much is said about the bassist. But just listen to the bass on this track!!

Thanks taurai Stuart love your simple analogy and critque
What is the message?
@@tapiwamuchenje5447 kwaiva nemapuruvheya so had to be careful of Rhodesian secret services during late 70's
@@tapiwamuchenje5447 It was a warning to avoid complacency during the ceasefire. I hope you now understand.
@@rozvi9728 ķkkkk i last heard the name ma puruvheya in the 80s. What kind of people where they?

I am a Shona but this one is deep. We need our elders to interpret.
Reminds me of my late mother ALWAYS ❤️. She loved Thomas Mapfumo so much. RIP Mum xoxo
