Hailing from the small Zimbabwean town of Kwekwe, Zig-Zag Band burst onto the scene in the 1980s with a sound they called Chigiyoa vibrant fusion of reggae, traditional rhythms, brass arrangements, and mbira- inspired guitar. The style they pioneered soon became the sound of the region, reshaping Zimbabwe's popular music landscape. We are immensely proud and honored to bring their groundbreaking legacy back into the spotlight, celebrating their cultural impact while introducing this remarkable catalogue to a new generation of listeners beyond Zimbabwe.
