Continuing to explore the trove of records I picked up in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, in 1991, here is a solid album from
John Chibadura & The Tembo Brothers. This band was the most successful proponent of
sunguru music, a cross between rhumba and jit jive that likewise relies on blisteringly fast, intertwined guitars. Chibadura was an excellent guitarist and charismatic performer who sang of working class situations and issues. He released dozens of hit albums before his death in 1999 at the age of 42.
