Zunde raMambo is a 15 member music group formed by prison inmates in January 2017.
The name “Zunde Ramambo” is derived from the Shona traditional culture, which inspires the group. However, the group was also inspired by legendary music icon Thomas Tafirenyika Mapfumo, who fuses traditional musical instruments, such is mbira with western instruments like guitars.
The group also cherishes Mapfumo’s music because it dwells much on the local tradition, thereby preserving the local culture.
