Chimurenga Legacy - Thomas Mapfumo and Mary Anibal


Listen Later

Afropop’s Banning Eyre published his prize-winning biography of Thomas Mapfumo, Lion Songs, in 2015. In this episode, he visits the Lion of Zimbabwe at his home in Eugene, Oregon, to discuss new music, the current state of Zimbabwe and more. We hear from Mapfumo’s latest album, Ndikutambire, and sneak previews of works in progress. We also meet 24-year-old Mary Anibal of Harare, a super-talented mbira player, singer/bandleader following in Mapfumo’s footsteps. Subscribers to the Afropop podcast stream, might remember this special episode from last year. In honor of Thomas’ 80th birthday this month, we are pleased to now share it on the radio!
