sleeve : EX-(some slightly dirts.)

media : EX+/EX+(some slightly surface noises. still good gondition.)

Released in 1984 by Thomas Mapfumo from Zimbabwe, Africa, who was a member of the Hallelujah Chicken Run Band in the early 70's and has led the band The Blacks Unlimited for a long time since the late 70's. The style of the album, which sublimates the traditional music of the Shona, the indigenous people of Zimbabwe, with a modern rock taste, is a successor to the classic albums "Hokoyo! and "Gwindingwi Rine Shumba", and groovy, dusty Afro-beats and Afro-rock throughout the album. All songs recommended.
