Chimurenga Renaissance

Chimurenga Renaissance

Chimurenga Renaissance has been played on NTS shows including Chris P Cuts, with The Race For Cush Naptha first played on 18 February 2015.

“This is an African Hip-Hop movement.” Seattle-based Zimbabwean Tendai Maraire aka Fly guy Dai (one half of Shabazz Palaces duo) sounds adamant. And he has the digital mixtape to prove it. On ‘Pungwe’, Maraire “not so much brings African music to hip-hop, but rather strips back the facade of modern hip-hop to show the African roots that were always there” (according to the press release).
