Synopsis
The emergence of Zimbabwean music as we know it today through the works of such prominent artists as Thomas Mapfumo and Oliver Mutukudzi has a troubled and precarious history. This is due mainly to the unequal competition for an audience which was, and continues to be, simultaneously exposed to more well-established musical styles from outside — from South Africa, Zaire and the
West in particular. This book is told in a personal and immediate voice.
