This is Lovemore Majaivana and Thomas Mapfumo, 2 of Zimbabwe's greatest musicians of all time

It is criminal that Majaivana is often excluded from conversations about Zimbabwe's finest musicians. It's both a travesty and a tragedy that he actually never felt appreciated even at the peak of his illustrious career. In 2001 Majaivana quit music and moved to the USA. He revealed that throughout his music career he felt under appreciated and was especially heartbroken by the fact that music sales in Zimbabwe followed tribal lines. In an interview, Majaivana said that one of his biggest disappointments was the fact that in Zimbabwe, people who sing shona songs make more money than those who sing in ndebele and other minority languages.

It's hard to argue against Majaivana's words given the Harare-rization of the "Zimbabwean music industry"
Bulawayo based musicians have always played second fiddle to Harare musicians . There is an unwritten rule in Zimbabwe that if you want to make it musically then move to Harare. A CASE IN POINT is Oskid and Tamuka who ironically migrated to Harare from Gweru the city of Majaivana's birth. Wait, did i say a case in point ? , i should have said a "curse in point" because this "Harare-rization" of Zimbabwean music has destroyed many out of Harare creatives

Lovemore Majaivana was born in 1952 in Gweru, his birth name is Lovemore Tshuma but because of his slick/sleek dance moves, he was given the nickname "Majaivana" which means a good dancer, his father was a Malawian born clergyman and his mother (naturally a mai fundisi) led the choir , she actually wrote many of Majaivana's songs.

Lovemore Majaivana inspired a whole generation of Matebeleland based musicians . He pioneered the instrumentation of ndebele music in recorded songs and would go on to become arguably the most popular ndebele singer of all time. During his early days, noone from Matebeleland was recording ndebele traditional songs with instruments, all you had were mostly choir songs. Lovemore Majaivana took it upon himself to change this and became part of the pioneering team that revolutionized Matebeleland music

It seems an apple doesn't fall far from the tree because in 2020 Majaivana revealed that he is now a pastor , following in the footsteps of his late father Reverend Tshuma who died in a car accident in 1974
Majaivana is reportedly still based in the USA and has turned down numerous offers to perform in Zimbabwe and abroad

OSKID and TAMUKA

Vakomana veGweru ava vakauya Harare kuzoita take over chaiyo, they upped the game for sure .
It's almost unbelievable that at one point they both worked for one record label, Kenako music.

It's not a coincidence that they went on to produce record breaking albums for 2 of Zimbabwe's finest musicians in recent times, JP and Winky D

Their versatility reminds me so much of the Urban Grooves founding producers, hapana genre yavasingagoni vakomana ava, they are super creative

The first white African President!

In 2014, this guy became the first white President of a democratically elected African government .His name is Guy Scott, he was the acting President of Zambia from 2014 to 2015,he took over after the death of President Michael Sata . He had been Sata's deputy and Zambia's Vice President since 2011.

This is the only time Africa has had a white President in a liberated country. Zambians are just different shem 😂😅. In 1991 they became the first SADC country to get rid of a major liberation movement when Kaunda lost elections to Chiluba

Guy Scott is a Scottish-Zambian
He actually did his secondary education in Zimbabwe at Peter House (before independence)

We always take it for granted but there was a time when Zimbabwean urban music didn't have airplay, largely because there just wasn't enough of it to warrant radio circulation .However it wasn't until this man showed up. His name is Delani Makhalima, brother to the legendary Sani Makhalima. What he and Dj Innocent Tshuma did for urban music can never be undone. Innocent Tshuma was the first Zimbabwean DJ to have a slot dedicated for local music on Radio 3. He used to run Rap competitions on his show and winners would get free recording sessions with Delani Makhalima. This is how some of your favorite Urban Grooves legends were discovered including the legendary producer Take 5 who would go on to launch the equally legendary Chamhembe music clan.
In the early 2ks,Delani convinced the then minister of information Jonathan Moyo to enforce a regime of 75% local content , this is the policy that catapulted most of your favorite local musicians to stardom during the Urban Grooves era. With time government moved to ban the airplay of foreign music completely. This had a ripple effect on Zimbabwean entertainment. At his peak Delani anga akachibata kuti dzvii,the whole industry revolved around him,literally. He made a tremendous impact in a very short period of time and his sound was way ahead it's time, it can rival any current record. There were other equally great producers like Fortune Muparutsa and Prince Tendai's High Density studios but the level of Delani's influence had a far reaching impact

Delani made history by becoming the first producer to produce a compilation album of urban music titled "the future", this in my opinion was the genesis of Urban Grooves music as we know it, he was only 22 years old

Delani left Zim at his peak and settled in South Africa where he later became a radio Dj
