Korokoza means "to hustle" in Shona, an apt title for the latest single from the Zimbabwe-bred band Comrade Fatso & Chabvondoka.
While the Zimbabwean economy shows signs of stabilising, following years of crisis and hyperinflation (the peak of which saw the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe was issuing $1 trillion banknotes before abandoning the currency altogether), unemployment is still high (at >80%) thus hustling remains the name of the game.
On top of that Zimbabweans have to cope with the fact that the coalition government of President Mugabe's ZANU-PF party and Prime Ministers Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC party hasn't quite worked as well as was hoped, and has been looking even shakier of late with reports of renewed crackdowns on perceived "opponents" to the leader (see Demons of violence are back in Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai warns - The Guardian, UK). The coalition can't agree on key reforms that need to be in place before new elections are held, but Mugabe wants elections held in March 2012, anyway.
Which is why Comrade Fatso & Chabvondoka have dedicated this song to the resilience of Zimbabweans and people across the world who struggle to survive while those in power are fighting among themselves. As the famous saying goes, 'When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers'.
The track features leading Zimbabwean hip hop MC Outspoken and one of Mali’s most gifted balafon players Lassana Diabaté, and combines English with Shona, and hip hop with the balafon.

Comrade Fatso & Chabvondoka are an explosive, genre-busting, multi-racial African band that seamlessly blends sounds as diverse as rock, hip hop, chimurenga, jiti, house and reggae, while Comrade Fatso's spoken word hip hop flow hits subjects ranging from the struggle for freedom to love and having a good time.
Don't forget to also check out Comrade Fatso's critically acclaimed first album House of Hunger, which, you won't be surprised to learn, was banned in Zimbabwe.
