- you mean like South Africans lay claim on Shosholoza and Skokiaan as theirs when they are songs originally by Zimbabweans; the first by migrant Zimbabwean Ndebele workers and the second a Musarurwa composition. I even heard some touring SA musicians out here in the diaspora claim ...

@silandulo Some Shona words have more than one meaning depending on the context or tone pattern and this is one of those.

/-suwa/ in this context means "to long for".

Thanks for the posting. Beautiful annointing music. However please correct the title- it should be: Jesus, I Come.

The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. You burned very, very brightly Whitney and was the rare gem that is a singular and unique find in each generation. M.Y.S R.I.P.

Ndiri mubhodha pamishoni paZim! Oh sweet memories.

Best version of the song. Brilliant!

Where is the other version?

Absolutely beautiful soul - a treasured sound.

Wonderful - sure brings back memories to this Zimbo!!

Thanks and much appreciated. If you have Richard John Smith's Candlelight please upload as well.

Someone please upload Candlelight!!

Little can match this excellence!!

True, who do we tell now? That which we held sacred has been defiled and the majority suffer the consequences- scanty rains, inability to provide for out children etc. and we know who to blame pre and post independence. The song is valid for either.

Another Mapfumo gem and brings tears to the ye...

Truth to power TM. This sense of entitlement (nyika takaitora mantra) reinforced by those who do not have to live the daily struggles that somehow Zimbabweans owe it to RG for his sacrifices does not cut it anymore. Believe me the people who were in Zimbabwe then may have suffered more while thes...

Do not examine just the symptom but the root of a problem. Often we devote energy to addressing the surface not underlying factors and so we never resolve the issue - true for everything in life.

Vamwe vanhu vanofemerwa pakunyora nhango- ngazvirambe zvakadaro!!

Hapanawo here une the other Runn Family songs like Warumwa, warumwa nembwa, Kariba mhamba tindingoma kakari kakabike doro (may have a different title but that is how we sang it kumakomoyo)?

Please upload if you have them.

The original mbira maestro. All those sounds on one instrument at the same time (of course using the call and response-kukahanisa. Amazing.)e Everyone else is a follower.

Never ever get weary. Every experience, good and bad, shape us while we stay the course. Stay focused and hungry for what you yearn for. Deep, deep.

Hallelujah!! Ngaakudzwe/Siyadumisa.

Have been looking forever. Thanks a lot. Huchi pasina nyuchi.

Vanamupurwa vakazungaira,

Mwoyo yavo yakatenderera,

Haiwa zambe...

That great Zimbabwean song (August Musarurwa composition) redone. Had the joy of seeing and listening to Hugh when he was last in Toronto.

Great Zimbabwean talent in that composition. Shosholoza had its origins in Zimbabwe too. Let us teach our children and celebrate that great heritage.

Ditto Musharuka.

Thank you... thank you!!

KwaManzvire kune chabuya (some of us Ndaus who could not sing the Mzansi language just made up our own words and still had fun)!!

We Ndaus would say muriro wabvuta.

Thanks ever so much. The long search has had an answer. Any chance that you may have more Pied Piper music like, Makwiro, I'm a Country Boy and African Woman?

One of my late brother's favourites! Catchy beat and lyrics which make us think deeper about what is important in a world of materialism. Thank you!

Wonderful to connect the children and sustain their appreciation of part of their heritage. And there is no food that tastes better than that cooked on the fire in the cast iron bhodho or clay pot. Just loved to see the young lady carrying the other in a "mhingo"- a dying way as many just prefer ...

Dry, hot place but great when irrigation works. Born, grew up there and am familiar with the "Top House" which as I grew up was for the scheme's white Supervisor. Things have changed.

Memories of picking cotton and harvesting beans, wonderful sun ripened mango, pawpaws and bananas, going to see ...

Mubarak achiteverawo, sare Bob!!
