The Sanii Makhalima Episode
Once again, like that annoying boil on your bottom, Zimbabwe’s 34th most beloved podcast is back with another episode. This week we sit down with one of the pioneers of the Zimbabwean Urban Grooves music scene who has been in the game for a decade a half and worked with almost every influential Urban Groove act in the country. None other than Sanii Makhalima!
We discuss his humble beginnings that involved selling freezits to secure studio time to how his independent label Galaxy Records shipped over 100,000 units of music on their own before 2005’s Operation Murambatsvina disrupted their business severely.
We also discuss his massive success, views on Zimbabwean music and how he got walloped by Dan in a tense game of FIFA.
We play out the episode with Sanii's new single titled Mashoko
Early drop to make up for the missed week! The Twimbos are back with a fresh new episode, featuring frontline accounts from Nitefreak at Hinde, in-depth reports from Kigali, expert analysis of Sakhile Dube and Chidimma Adetshina's performances at Miss Universe, and shrewd diplomacy in their takes on the South African Mining standoff and El Salvador's gang prison. Enjoy!
