Thomas Mapfumo and Blacks Unlimited
Chimurenga Explosion
no longer available
The king of Zimbabwean music returns again with a hard hitting, heavily acoustic recording, full of the sound of the mbira and the rippling guitar lines that make his sound famous. Add to that his usual hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners lyrics and this recording hits its mark.

"Masterfully arranged with the cultural mbira sound blended with the
lead guitar of the highest order, plus the sweet backing vocals...
It's pure magic, and the Chimurenga Explosion might result in
tremors, so watch out! - Sunday Mail Magazine
"Mapfumo is in the thick of it all, leading a pack of seasoned mbira players, sharp percussion and raucous horns to create great Chimurenga dance music. ... Mapfumo is still very involved in the battle for the rights of ordinary Zimbabweans, carefully channeling his anger, never allowing it to spill out into chaos." - Opiyo Oloya, RootsWorld |

Please note!
Most of our CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and we are not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever we
can, we used recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
