The Green Arrows

The Green Arrows

The Green Arrows has been played on NTS in shows including Crossed Wires w/ Amanda Siegel, featured first on 28 January 2017. Songs played include Nyoka Yendara, Musango Mune Hangaiwa and Towering Inferno.

1) Green Arrows is a Hardcore band from Bolzano, Italy. Active since 1999, performed all these years all across Europe.

2) The Green Arrows, lead by the immortal Zexie Manatsa, dominated the Zimbabwean music scene in the 1970s. This extraordinarily progressive group took the country by storm, fusing the different rhythms of the region into one unique and ebullient sound. A milestone in Zimbabwean music history! The Green Arrows, "discovered" by celebrated South African producer West Nkosi, were the first Zimbabwean band to record an LP, which was released in February 1976. So popular were the Green Arrows in the '70s that when Manatsa got married on August 25, 1979 a crowd of about 60,000 thronged Rufaro Stadium. Some of the performers at his wedding included Oliver Mtukudzi and Thomas Mapfumo.
