[peel] Zimbabwean Jit guitar

[Nigel U]

Fact and Steeltown were the two other early singles that come to mind, but Marimba Jive is where I left the party. They weren't far off upstaging The Smiths when I saw them at Norwich in 1984.

  Good Technology is a great song - everything else I've heard by them has been pants. Particularly the major label stuff they did later when they signed to (I think) Virgin.

  I dug out the Shalawambe album at the weekend - the track "Samora Machel" is awesome (was also in the F50 some years back)

  I was recommended the Red Guitars. I know 'Good Technology' was in a Festive 50 but I've never heard it. Any fans here? I'll probably get Slow To Fade... 
  The Four Brothers record I bought recently is glued to my stereo. What else should I investigate where the guitar is the dominant force of the music? Kanda Bongo Man?

    It's almost certainly irrelevant to the question, but wasn't the 3rd 
    Bhundu Boys album called 'Jit Jive'? They spent a lot of time in the 
    Scottish Borders, close by the home of 'King of Caledonian Cajun 
    Swing' Champion Doug Veitch. 
    I was hoping a brainwave was going to take me to Johnny Marr in the 
    required 6 degrees, but I'm struggling - though I've always thought 
    some of the Ron Johnson bands had a bit of a 'jit'  feel to them. (I 
    said "a bit"). 
    On that tack, I saw Edwyn Collins the other night and there's that 
    kind of feel to some of his stuff, but since he had Zeke Manyika on 
    many of his albums that's no great  surprise.
