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
The end of another week means the end of all your problems! For now, at least, so we celebrate with a brand new episode of the only podcast to be 100% tariff-free in all countries! Dan & Phil talk YN’s, Zim Hip-Hop and Zimdancehall in the context of international exposure and collaborations, conspiracy theories about tariffs and all-female space crews, and even get some time in for full-on nerdy chats about Direwolves and Marvel. Enjoy!
