Big in Bulawayo

What with Zimbabwe being in the news at the moment, I thought I would dig out a few oldies but goodies from the Harare Hit Parade of yesteryear.

"First Aid" - Safirio Madzikatire & Sea Cottage Sisters

"Ekhaya" - Jobs Combination

"Manheru Changamire" - Hallelujah Chicken Run Band

While Mugabe's departure - if that is what it turns out to be - is long overdue, it is hard to think of a military takeover as being a good thing in itself. Unless, perhaps, you are a Liberal Reactionary like Charity Chic. On which subject, that crazed despot has insisted that I bring you a bit of Lulu, so here she is. The title seemed suitable for a military coup.

  1. Lulu is a big favourite of us crazed despots Ernie

    1. So I believe. Apparently Saddam Hussein had all her albums.

  3. These are great tracks - hope you don't mind but I've 'stolen' 1 & 3 (my chosen charity will benefit by a fiver on Monday morning!) As for Lulu, The Boat That I Row is right up there for me

    1. I'm flattered. And I agree with you entirely on 'The Boat That I Row' - a fantastic record

  4. Three really great songs today and one absolute load of old nonsense.
