4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Rhythms, 24 Oct 2007
By Mr. N. Halperin "Neem Beam" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This beautiful collection of songs, with intricate ticking rhythms and layered lilting guitar melodies left me wishing I could understand Shona and understand the significance of the songs. From what I have read about HCR the songs in this collection are taken from a mixture of the cleaned up original vinyl and master tapes and are predominantly songs of protest against the then transitionary white government of the time. These songs have something infectious about them; the way the softly sung choruses are repeated over and over and are imbibed with a warmth you rarely find. The brass section is used sparingly and with a great soulful effect injecting a joyful feeling and energy into the mix.

Some of the tracks are faded out seemingly too early as the average track length sits at around 3 minutes, and I wondered if the original recordings had to be short for technical reasons as I wanted some of the tracks to carry on and explore the ground they open up. There is a variety in terms of feeling and style across the tracks on this release, and also a variety in terms of the quality of the recordings. I really loved the opening track `Mudzimu Ndiringe' which has a joyous feeling, and `Kare Nanhasi' for the same reason. Manheru Changamire has a kind of latin feel with it's brassy serenade. Murembo is their most significant song as it was their call to rebellion. Also, watch out for the excellent hidden track after some silence and some conversation on the tail of the last track `Chaminuka Mukuru'. After a little time, the feeling of the music washes over you; and I would encourage everyone to give this album enough time to let it get under your skin - to appreciate it fully. After all, it is an unearthed gem, and such it deserves a bit of quality time with your ears.
