One of the many ephemeral Zimbabwean bands,
Zvishavane Sounds sprouted in a mining community with this powerful album featuring the title track hit. Led by
Joseph Mutero, this band is a great example of the high energy guitar music paired with great singing that characterized Zimbabwean pop music of the era. This is one of a pile of records I collected in Zimbabwe in early 1991, one of my favorites. I could discover little about this band apart from an interesting insight, including the names of the musicians,
here.
P.S. Sorry for the absence. After being away from home for a while unexpectedly, we'll get back on track with a few from Zimbabwe. And thanks to Tony, for giving me a more focussed date! I confirmed it with the record label when I dug it out.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful music! Apurva from Pune, India.
This is wonderful, I've been looking for Zvishavane for years. One of dozens of forgotten bands from the pop heyday of Zimbabwe in the 80s. Based on the number, I'm pretty sure this is 1987. Thanks so much
i'm loving this. thanks!
Thanks for a great post. I'd love to track down this albumin whatever physical format (although vinyl would be preferable!)
