Pidigori - Thomas Mapfumo & The Blacks Unlimited featuring Jonah Sithole 1985

Thomas explains the song before it starts, interview recorded September 6th, 1993.

Jonah plays the lead, the 1st mbira, to western ears the rhythm guitar, on the right channel. On the other version I posted (see video response below screen), the roles on guitar are the other way around.

From 6:48, there's a traditional version by Mhuri Yekwa Chiboora. This can be downloaded at:
