"Zimbabwe Township Music is a celebration of age-old popular music, which was evolved by the early urban settlers as far back as the 1930's. Urban culture in those days was a product of mixed traditional, contemporary and Western influences, which all moulded into the unique township music. It is therefore the musical off-spring and melodic fusion of several tribal and cultural urban settlers in the early Black townships; typified by such variants as kwela, tsabatsaba, marabi and afro-jazz."--BOOK JACKET.Makwenda, Joyce Jenye is the author of 'Zimbabwe Township Music ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780797427914 and ISBN 0797427910.
