Sungura

Sungura emerged in 1980s Zimbabwe, meaning 'rabbit' in Shona to reflect its agile, lively character. The genre fuses traditional Zimbabwean music with Congolese rumba and Western rock and pop influences, featuring electric guitars, bass, drums, mbira, and hosho shakers. Sungura's fast-paced guitar work and energetic rhythms make it popular at social gatherings, with artists like Alick Macheso and Simon Chimbetu defining the genre's distinctive sound.
