Chimurenga

Chimurenga emerged in 1970s Zimbabwe during the independence struggle, meaning 'struggle' in Shona. Thomas Mapfumo created the genre by modernizing traditional Shona music with electric guitars, bass, and drums, featuring mbira, complex polyrhythms, and politically-charged lyrics. Chimurenga served as liberation music, inspiring resistance against oppressive government and advocating for equality and social justice.
