Over the last month or so I've been marinating in the recordings of The Hallelujah Chicken Run Band. Aside from having the "best name eva, like oh my god!!" *ahem*, the story behind their existence at the dawn of the Zimbabwean Revolution and the career of Thomas Mapfumo is most intriguing! Most exciting is the presence of their recordings on emusic!! Shoot, join for free just to download this stuff!!
