Recording: Thomas Mapfumo

Artist: Thomas Mapfumo & The Blacks Unlimited

Song: Nhamo *

Recorded at Afrofest (Queen's Park), July 10, 2011.

Thomas Mapfumo & The Blacks Unlimited - Nhamo

Full review to follow My notes for this set can now be found here — with a couple members of the band held back at the border, the local fill-ins did an admirable job on short notice. This one starts a bit unsteadily, but as the song progresses, you can the players falling into the groove, and by the end it's simmering nicely.

* Thanks to a commenter for passing the title to this one along.

N.B. This recording is a capture of CIUT's live broadcast.

    Excellent recording! It is true that at some point I thought that the lead guitarist could participate more, but he was into the groove in any case. I couldn't stop thinking why the bassist and the guitarist were held at the border...

    I wish I had recorded the dancing in the audience!

    Thanks!!
