about

Official Video : vimeo.com/32385376

Featuring Lassana Diabaté, whose group Afrocubism has just been nominated for a grammy for best world music album, and the pioneering Zimbabwean hip hop MC Outspoken.

Korokoza is a hopeful song dedicated to the resilience of Zimbabweans and people across the world who struggle to survive. Comrade Fatso deals with the contentious Marange diamond issue in the song attacking ZANU (PF) for not allowing the local Marange community to benefit from diamonds found in their area. Instead ZANU (PF) cronies and the army moved in, massacring the local community and placing the diamond mining under their clandestine control.

Combining English with Shona, hip hop with the balafon and Zimbabwe with Mali the track presents a fresh, new international urban sound. Recorded in Zimbabwe and Mali while being produced, mixed and mastered in the UK and the USA Korokoza is a global collaboration.


Make sure to get Comrade Fatso's critically acclaimed first album 'House of Hunger,' which is banned in Zimbabwe: nomadicwax.bandcamp.com/album/house-of-hunger
