- W2339671511 abstract "The details of how Zimbabwe – once lauded as the jewel of Africa – slid into a mess over the past decade have been well chronicled (see Melber 2004; HaroldBerry 2004; Vambe 2008). President Robert Mugabe and his ruling ZANU PF blame the economic meltdown on the British and their allies the United States of America, Australia and the European Union, who are vindictive over the fasttrack land reform programme that forcibly wrests land from white farmers. Mugabe’s critics blame corruption, dictatorship, gross disrespect for the rule of law and no protection of private property, jeopardizing productivity and foreign currency earnings through the land reform programmes, and the abuse of human rights as the main causes of the country’s problems (Mhiripiri 2008). At a time of very serious political and economic crisis, Zimbabweans seem to be entertaining themselves with music. There has been a massive shut-down of manufacturing industries, but the music industry remains resilient. According to the country’s Central Statistics Office, inflation is the highest in the world, reaching as high as 100,000 per cent by mid February 2008, even exceeding that of war-ravaged Iraq, which is second highest at 60 per cent. Zimbabwe’s crisis has created paradoxes such as poor billionaires and the fastest-shrinking economy outside of a war zone. Unemployment in formal jobs was as high as 80 per cent in January 2008. Despite all this, the music industry looks vibrant, and shows no signs that the big recording companies – Zimbabwe Music Corporation (ZMC), Records and Tape Promotions (RTP), Gramma and Ngaavongwe – will shut down or relocate to South Africa as most other companies have done. In the Zimbabwe case, the political economy of the music industry is of special interest because, prima facie, it seems as if there is nothing particularly ‘political’ about the music produced. The main musicians hardly sing any scathing political" @default.
