    1 Dancing through the Crisis: Survival Dynamics and Zimbabwe Music Industry* Nhamo Anthony Mhiripiri The details of how Zimbabwe – once lauded as the jewel of Africa – slid into a mess over the past decade have been well chronicled (see Melber 2004; Harold- Berry 2004; Vambe 2008). President Robert Mugabe and his ruling ZANU PF blame the economic meltdown on the British and their allies the United States of America, Australia and the European Union, who are vindictive over the fast- track land reform programme that forcibly wrests land from white farmers. Mugabe’s critics blame corruption, dictatorship, gross disrespect for the rule of law and no protection of private property, jeopardizing productivity and foreign currency earnings through the land reform programmes, and the abuse of human rights as the main causes of the country’s problems (Mhiripiri 2008). At a time of very serious political and economic crisis, Zimbabweans seem to be entertaining themselves with music. There has been a massive shut-down of manufacturing industries, but the music industry remains resilient. According to the country’s Central Statistics Office, inflation is the highest in the world, reaching as high as 100,000 per cent by mid February 2008, even exceeding that of war-ravaged Iraq, which is second highest at 60 per cent. Zimbabwe’s crisis has created paradoxes such as poor billionaires and the fastest-shrinking economy outside of a war zone. Unemployment in formal jobs was as high as 80 per cent in January 2008. Despite all this, the music industry looks vibrant, and shows no signs that the big recording companies – Zimbabwe Music Corporation (ZMC), Records and Tape Promotions (RTP), Gramma and Ngaavongwe – will shut down or relocate to South Africa as most other companies have done.

  • Lovemore Majaivana and the Township Music of Zimbabwe
    Lovemore Majaivana and the Township Music of Zimbabwe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Themba Nkabinde. Themba Nkabinde was an MA student and Graduate Assistant in the Centre for Cultural and Media Studies, University of Natal, Durban, during the early 1990s. He was formerly a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe. He was killed in a car accident under suspicious circumstances in Zimbabwe in late 1992. This site is dedicated to Themba's memory. His work is reproduced here with permission of his family, as it deals with aspects of Zimbabwean music not previously studied. Date: 1992 Type of product: Uncompleted chapter towards an MA thesis. Published: No Copyright: CMS, University of Natal, and Durban. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Preface The story of Lovemore Majaivana is the story of cultural struggle and revolution. From the seedy days of rock cabarets in white Rhodesia, Lovemore "returned to the source", a return effectively marked by the 1983 epoch-making album, "Isitimela." Culture is the most critical element of revolution. The reconstruction of Zimbabwe economically, politically and socially cannot be achieved without an accompanying cultural shift away from the colonial and neo-colonial cultures that have marginalised black humanity and threatened its creativity. Lovemore's music is a fighting culture. It is for this reason that the music and the story of Majaivana is being recorded. Introduction Our work is an attempt of further scholarship on urban black culture. Those who know Zimbabwean music know only the ethnographic exertions of Hugh Tracey and Paul Berliner, or the occasional, though now frequent journalistic coverage of Zimbabwean musicians, either on radio or TV talk-shows on the BBC, or in magazines and newspapers, international or local, or on video by either American, British or New Zealand travelling journalists.

  • Mark Chowaniec World Music Collection
    University at Buffalo Music Library The Mark Chowaniec World Music Collection A Finding List Arranged by HRAF-Murdock Number Compiled by Matthew Sheehy. Print version, with name index: ML156.4.F6S4 Finding List | Index by HRAF-Murdock Number This is a finding list for the Marc Chowaniec World Music Collection. The collection consists of 802 cassettes, 519 records, and 19 videos of musical performances from all over the world. The recordings include commercially produced, dubbed recording s, field recordings, and recorded radio programs. The collection reflects a wide variety of music, both traditional and popular. This list is arranged by HRAF-Murdock number, then by performer and title. Much of this material is in alphabets other than Latin and therefore difficult to reproduce. An attempt was made to transliterate information from the containers for only a small portion of the collection. Everything else that is written in character s that could not be reproduced has entries primarily for identification purposes, i.e., on T 127, the only Latin characters are 01. There is a lack of authority in names and titles, acknowledged misspellings, and a lack of diacritical markings. Illegibl e writing is omitted so some items are represented by little more than a date or record number. For field or dubbed recordings, Chowaniec is listed as the publisher. There are see and see also references under many HRAF-Murdock numbers that indicate items that may represent the music of more than one culture. A note of additional HRAF numbers is included in the item record as well. George Peter Murdock's Outline of World Cultures, 5th edition, 1975, is the culture index.

REVIEW ESSAY MUSIC IN ZIMBABWE EZRA CHITANDO Department of Religious Studies, Classics and Philosophy, University of Zimbabwe Nationalists, Cosmopolitans, and Popular Music in Zimbabwe By Thomas Turino (Chicago Series in Ethnomusicology, Chicago and London, University of Chicago Press, 2000), 401pp, ISBN (cloth): 0-226-81701-6; ISBN (paper): 0-226-81702-4. Zimbabwean music is an integral part of the country's very rich and proud heritage. With music accompanying individuals from the cradle to the grave, it occupies an important place in the cultural life of the people of Zimbabwe. However, Zimbabwean music has not consistently received due scholarly attention. The material available tends to be fragmented in outlook. The success enjoyed on the highly competitive international market by some Zimbabwean musicians and groups such as The Bhundu Boys, Stella Chiweshe, Rozalla Miller, Thomas Mapfumo, Oliver Mtukudzi, Albert Nyathi and others has helped to generate considerable scholarly interest. In addition, the pioneering efforts of the late outstanding musicians and teachers, Dumisani Abraham Maraire and Ephat Mujuru in introducing mbira music and its spirituality to North American audiences instigated curiosity and further interest in the country's music. It is in such a context that Thomas Turino's book has to be appreciated. Turino's book is an important and sensitive contribution to an area where much more work urgently remains to be done, especially in the light of the rate at which death has robbed the country of many of its talented musicians from the mid-1990s.
