Answer to Question 1

 Euro American musical features
 studio-produced music using popular music instruments (regular guitars and bass guitar, drums)
 metrical two-beat throughout all the parts (not polymetric)
 accompanying Western-type harmonic progression
 popular music form based on repeating sections
 Traditional African musical features
 intricate, rhythmic interlocking of guitar parts (mbira-influenced)
 collective improvisation (especially after 1:11)
 polyrhythmic interplay among instruments


  • African language lyrics present a praise poem for warriors, their leaders, their families, and their supporters. (But the lyrics also chide people Be Ashamed' who are unreconciled to change.)1






1 Although in the song Mapfumo praises Mr. Mugabe's leadership in Zimbabwe, subsequent events have brought mixed reviews for Mr. Mugabe's leadership.



Answer to Question 2

 The music has a gentle, restful consonant feel throughout the piece. This mood of general consonance continues even when the second part enters at 0:47. The melodic structure is highly unified through the constant flow of similar sounding melodic motives. Melodic contrast is provided when the second part enters with its independent melody that interweaves with the first part. There are times when the music seems to flow along in one continuous melodic stream, especially before the second part enters at 0:47, yet at other times, separate, shorter melodic ideas seem to emerge as the piece proceeds.
