The Bhundu Boys, 5 guys from Zimbabwe who mixed
chimurenga with pop music and other European and
American styles. They were quite popular in the eighties.
This is one of the albums that made them known in our

thank you very much for the album are great musicians and precursors of the current music of Zimbabwe and throughout Africa.
greetings!
Moos – Thank you so much for all of the effort that you’ve made to get these albums on-line. Thank you for reuniting me with all the albums that I’ve been looking for for years and for introducing me to new material as well. Bless you…

Many thanks Moos. Great album. Apurva from Pune, India.
I saw these guys in October 1989 at Harpos in Victoria BC Canada. Charge at the door was $8 and I would have paid $80 (CAN)
Simply mind blowing show. they really “swung it”
i will never forget that night.
Thank you.
Excellent as always! In thanks, don’t miss this rare live Bhundu Boys in FLAC format:

Thanks for posting these. Hard to find African music in the US, particularly these out-of-circulation or orphaned albums. Only have one Bhundu Boys album that was released as a remastered CD about 10 years ago.
Beautiful music, thanks for the up moos
