 Mapfumo, born in Marondera , Zimbabwe in 1945. He is responsible for 
 blending traditional Shona mbira music with western instruments and a 
 political message full of innuendo and traditional proverbs. He established 
 the musical style, chimurenga (the Shona word for struggle). In the 1970s 
 Zimbabwe 's people fought a war of independence against their white 
 Rhodesian rulers. Out of that grew chimurenga which is based on the Shona 
 majority's chiming, cyclical rhythms, patterns and melodies of the mbira 
 resulting in a hypnotric almost trance-like music. Mapfumo took that 
 traditional music and added electric guitars, horns, and a drum kit. With 
 his electronic interpretations of traditional mbira music he became a huge 
 star in Zimbabwe . Being that some of his lyrics addressed the struggle for 
 independence the white Rhodesian government felt threatened by his 
 popularity, As a result, in 1977, Mapfumo was detained in prison for 90 
 days because of his song Hokoya (Watch Out). The Long Walk , on High Times 
 Records, a re-mastered version of the classic Mapfumo LP Ndangariro, which 
 for the first time in its 23 year existence will accrue a meaningful share 
 of royalties to Dr. Mapfumo is coming out this spring.  Thomas and his 
 band, The Blacks Unlimited now tour widely. Don't miss them!
