Zimbabwe's Comrade Fatso & Chabvondoka are musical purveyors of "Toyi Toyi," described as "radical street poetry that mixes Shona with English and electrifying guitars with mbira and pulsating hip hop." Their 2008 album House of Hunger was effectively banned in country for its criticism of life under President Robert Mugabe, the aging leader who is calling for elections next year in an effort to extend his decades-long rule.
The multiracial Comrade Fatso & Chabvondoka felt the weight of the authorities once more while filming the music video for their new collaborative single "Korokoza" on location in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. The band says that they and their entire camera crew were detained for over five hours.
