\u201cJourney Of Life\u201d is the London-based DJ\u2019s take on sungura, one of the country\u2019s most popular dance genres. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJourney Of Life Remix\u201d is what The Busy Twist<\/a> does best: uptempo, bass-heavy craze, influenced by regular trips to Africa, Latin America and the West-Indies, packed with undeniable British club music culture and production technique. The colourful video was shot on various locations in Harare, Zimbabwe, and was produced in collaboration with Colombian-French record label Galletas Calientes Records<\/a>. It features appearances from dancer Beauty Katiji, Gonora Sounds band leader Daniel Gonora and musician Proud \u201cPippi\u201d Gonora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original song \u201cRwendo Rweupenyu\u201d (“the journey of life” in Shona, one of Zimbabwe’s most widely spoken languages) was performed by street band Daniel & Gonora Sounds, led by blind singer-guitarist Daniel Gonora and his prodigy drummer son Isaac, who has been playing with his dad since he was four years old. With its roots deeply embedded in Zimbabwe\u2019s sungura music, the duo have spent nearly a decade and a half jamming on the streets of Harare, first starting out as the First Street Band. In a former life, Gonora was a member of one of the country\u2019s most successful bands, the Jairosi Jiri Band. His collaboration with The Busy Twist is part of Nanko<\/a><\/em>, a two-track EP released on vinyl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
