Time to dip into Zimbabwe gold again for this fine album from
Nyami Nyami Sounds, a band from northern Zimbabwe named for a Shona river god. The records opens with the strong
chimurenga cut, "Ndiani Apisa Moto," that was collected on the 1990
Zimbabwe Frontline: Spirit of the Eagle compilation, and it ends with a song more akin to
jit. In between are five other strong songs featuring cycling, intertwined guitar lines, thumping drums and lovely, harmonious vocals. Recorded at the venerable Shed Studios, this one is a keeper.

Thanks, as always, for your visit and kind words, Apurva.
Mike, your welcome and, luckily, there is quite a bit more of rare Zimbabwean stuff to come here, including my next post.
Cheers, Robert.
Thanks for sharing. You don't hear much Nyami Nyami any more. Keep the Zimbabwean sounds coming.
This is a keeper, indeed !!!! You didn't even mention the wonderful lament in no.2 which I am afraid to say made me smile a lot more than it made me sad. Fabulous LP, thanks for introducing me to Nyami Nyami. Great cover too!!
