A Zimbabwean-centered hip-hop project from <a href="spotify:artist:6C403AR4y6PjN0xNNGh42m">Shabazz Palaces</a> member Tendai "Baba" Maraire, Chimurenga Renaissance was formed in 2012 when Maraire teamed with Hussein Kalonji, the rapper formerly known as H-Bomb. That same year, the group introduced their mix of electronic (ie. synths and samples) and organic (ie. ngoma drums and mbira thumb pianos) on Pungwe, a mixtape where artists like <a href="spotify:artist:2QsynagSdAqZj3U9HgDzjD">Bob Marley</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4TqmaFJYM8SvuhrunxpmT3">Spice 1</a> were mixed with African artists like <a href="spotify:artist:4kfGq6bSxmsRIfwfqytM7o">Thomas Mapfumo</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:77zlytAFjPFjUKda8TNIDY">Youssou N'Dour</a>. In 2014 the project made its official debut on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Brick+Lane%22">Brick Lane</a> label with riZe vadZimu riZe. The album featured a guest appearance from <a href="spotify:artist:2UBt0GWBuPVXlPisRvWzlD">Dead Prez</a> member <a href="spotify:artist:6N9Iwp5FVgo8vbLsRgaTCn">M1</a> along with Maraire's <a href="spotify:artist:6C403AR4y6PjN0xNNGh42m">Shabazz Palaces</a> partner, Palaceer Lazaro. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
