    Hi, Tendai…… like your selection, especially Hosia Chipanga. Many people didn’t really appreciate his music until maybe the last few years.

    Just like System Tazvida….

    Enjoy your music

  7. Regi says:

    i think leonard dembo is going to be the best musician in Zim of all the times,coz even by now alot of musicians are still trying to imitate him,and when you listening to his music its like you taking a shona class,he introduced alot of different kind of rhythmics in zim music,also dont forget with the meaning,every word comes out of his mouth had a meaning and a teaching.
