About Chimurenga Renaissance

“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). copy and pasted from: http://africasacountry.com/2012/11/07/tendai-maraire-of-shabazz-palaces-breaks-down-new-mixtape/#more-56874 Official website for Chimurenga Renaissance and Baba Maraire (another of Tendai Maraires projects) http://chim.cloudnice.com/main/
