Description
Analog Africa's next compilation: Zig-Zag Band – Chigiyo Music Kings 1987–1998 - The limited edition release, designed by São Paulo's own Magrão, comes as a double-140g LP, housed in a striking three-colour screen-printed gatefold cover.
Hailing from the small Zimbabwean town of Kwekwe, Zig-Zag Band burst onto the scene in the 1980s with a sound they called Chigiyo—a vibrant fusion of reggae, traditional rhythms, brass arrangements, and mbira-inspired guitar. The style they pioneered soon became the sound of the region, reshaping Zimbabwe's popular music landscape. We are immensely proud and honored to bring their groundbreaking legacy back into the spotlight, celebrating their cultural impact while introducing this remarkable catalogue to a new generation of listeners beyond Zimbabwe.
