| | Customer Reviews: Robson Banda and the Black Eagles (03 November 2004)I believe that should be the title since that was the name of his band. At least that's what I heard when I heard him live at the legendary "Queens Hotel" in Harare, 1988. I haven't heard this cd but am familiar with his music since 1984. I had the pleasure to own a cassette of his which I took to Malawi with me. Unfortunatley, Mr. Steven's, who ran the Cape Maclear resort took a liking to it when I let him play the cut "Soweto" at his resort and eventually absconded with it. This is the first time I have heard it and will buy it if only for this track but I would imagine that al the tracks are worth the purchase. Enjoy! Emerson P.S. Does anyone know where to find a copy of Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited--"Mr. Music" as I think that is one of his best. I saw him a few times in Zims before all this recent madness took place. It was quite safe during the 1980s! Banda at his best. (20 January 2002)Robson Banda and the New Black Eagles sucessfully mix mbira-based rhythms with Congolese and Zimbabwean dance influences. Less soulful and haunting than their chimurenga counterpart Thomas Mapfumo, RB and the NBE's Greatest Hits provides good tunes ranging from sweet lilting guitar licks to fast-paced picking. An excellent choice for the avid Zimbabwean music fan. I bought it by mistake...but didn't return it (04 June 2001)Somehow I accidentally added this album to my cart and didn't notice it until after it arrived. I was about to return it to Amazon, but decided to listen to it anyway. What a great find! Robson Banda's music is reggae like with a great beat and fun melodies. Easy to listen to (even if you can't understand the lyrics) while working. |
