Take 5 Teases At A Fresh Chamhembe Project


Take 5 or Take Fizzo as he's popularly known has teased at another Chamhembe project. A post that has triggered nostalgia among the masses that were there in the early 2000's to experience the music and the skits Chamhembe had to offer. The latest project titled Chamhembe Zvekare is set to be the first Chamhembe project in over a decade. They've been several compilations released under the Chamhembe name with Vol 1 & Vol 2 being the most memorable. In a tweet the producer wrote:


Hello Zimbabwe. The last #Chamhembe was in 2005. I believe we have learnt a lot. So I was thinking...


From about 2001 to 2007 Zimbabwean music was defined by the "Urban Grooves" genre. A genre that paved the way for the sounds of HipHop, RnB and even Alternative music. Principal to Urban Grooves' rise and success was Chamhembe and the artists that comprised of it. Mainly Roki, Stunner, Mafriq, Leonard Mapfumo, Trinity, Tererai Mugwadi and Take 5 among others. Recently The Chamhembe Story was told in a mini series of interviews by same name done by SoProfound.
