Roots Rocking Zimbabwe (The Modern Sound Of Harare' Townships 1975-1980)

2LP. ”The explosion of creativity Zimbabwe bands of the 70s and 80s delivered is endlessly rewarding. It was a time of wild experimentation before established genres had crystalized. Rock, rumba, soul and traditional grooves all collide beautifully in this collection, which also includes never-before-released tracks by Thomas Mapfumo. Don’t miss it!”
