THE "CHESONIZATION" OF SUNGURA MUSIC IN ZIMBABWE:


It is encouraging that academics are now writing academic papers and PhD theses about Zimbabwean artists. In 2024, one of my MSU lecturers, Dr. Vimbai Chamisa, made headlines when she received her PhD from UNISA with a thesis titled "Sungura and Social Identity Narratives in Postcolonial Zimbabwe: an analysis of the popularity of Alick Macheso's music," which was based on Alick Macheso.


This time, Dr Tamuka Chekero, a Doctor of Philosophy, anthropologist, and Research Associate at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, is also conducting a research  for a paper he has titled: "The Chesonisation of Sungura Music in Zimbabwe."


The paper explores the music genre's historical context as well as the contributions of its most prominent contemporary artist, Alick Macheso.


Dr Chekero paid me a visit during my trip to South Africa on the 8th of December,2025, to interview me for this research.
