5.0 out of 5 stars
Explosive sungura sounds,
By A Customer
This review is from: Roots Rock Guitar Party - Zimbabwe Frontline Volume 3 (Audio CD)
Supercharged sungura performances from John Chibadura, Zimbabwe Cha Cha Cha Kings, Knowledge Kunenyati make this worthwhile. Due to untimely deaths (Chibadura, Leonard Dembo) of its biggest stars, sungura is the most popular genre in Zimbabwe, yet little known abroad. Add to that the highly melodic hypnotic jit-chimurenga of the immortal Four Brothers, and you have the best compilation of Zimbabwean dance music and guitar styles available. Tracks 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 are my favorite. Max Mapfumo's take on chimurenga is no pushover, very sublime guitar work. Highly recommended for lovers of African guitar pop styles

4.0 out of 5 stars
No joke, this is truly worth four stars.,
By Marc Peverini (Burlington, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roots Rock Guitar Party - Zimbabwe Frontline Volume 3 (Audio CD)
What a fantastic album. Volume Three of the Zimbabwe Frontline series offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of Zimbabwean music during the mid 90's. Featuring the reggae-inspired tunes of John Chibadura, the always-danceable band The Four Brothers, the mbira-inspired work of Max Mapfumo and Knowledge Kunyati, and guitar and bass extravanganza of the Zimbabwe Cha Cha Kings, the album is guranteed to make you move. Zimbabwe Frontline Three is definitely a must-have for anyone interested in guitar-based African music, and is a great choice for the first-time buyer. No joke, this CD is truly worth four stars.
