"Muchembere Wedu Nehanda" by Master Chivero and the Zimbabwe Militia Mbira Sounds. I love this song but don't speak Shona, so would be grateful for any translations! The sleeve description says: "Nehanda - The grandmother of the ZANU people prophesied that one day they would rule themselves in a happy and free Zimbabwe."
sweet melody! thanks for posting this old gem. the sleeve description is spot on. that's exactly what the lyrics translate. Also goes on to say " Now we are ALL happy to be free in Zimbabwe". By the way Muchembere = old lady. Wedu= our/s. therefore the title means translates to "our old lady Nehanda" . Good on you dodogarden!
