Excellent Introduction to the Bhundu Boys

"I first saw the Bhundu Boys in England in the mid 80's and have been hooked ever since. True Jit is their most "commercial" album and the one most heavily influenced by western production techniques. However, I have always used this record as an introduction to African music for my friends who are interested in the genre as it is easy on the "western ear"."

Amazon[.com] is amazing!

"I am really amazed to find the music by this group on Amazon[.com]. Amazon[.com] is really doing a great job. I had the priviledge of watching the Bhundu Boys whilst I was studying at Oxford University in England. My good friend Forbes Elworthy from New Zealand invited me to watch this African band. I am a native of Zambia myself and hence Zimbabwe is our neighbour where this band hailed from. After watching the group perform I bought their audio cassette. Went back to Zambia and within no time it went missing. Alas I have continued singing their songs. One time while visiting Zimbabwe I tried to look for their music but could not find it. Once again thank you amazon[.com] for giving us this opportunity. My order will be placed shortly."

Jit jive behind the full moon tonight...

"I just discovered these guys from some of my friends. I never listened to real african music before so I decided to see what all the fuss was about.



On the contrary, this is real good music. My favorite songs have to be Jit Jive, My Foolish Heart, and Chemezevana.



Pick it up if you see it..."
