Chris Gudu: Jive Kayana - Rhythm of the Brave  
 

Album Download: AUD $14.50

Chris Gudu was the leader, bass man and lead singer of the group Jive Kayana, which during its days sold out concerts and created big waves at festivals. His up tempo and exuberant music is what is often referred to as 'Township Jive Music' and is better known in Southern Africa as Umbaqanga music which sometimes presents a touch of Afro jazz. Umbaqanga music originates from the streets and shebeens of Southern Africa.

From Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Chris Gudu was born into a musical family where he was exposed to a musical environment from a young age, playing the African drum, singing in church choirs directed by his mother as well as featuring in school choirs and a lot of talent shows from primary to high school. Chris grew up not only playing musical instruments and singing with his family, but actually making the instruments, namely guitars and drums.

As well as enjoying the success of his own concerts Chris Gudu has toured and shared the stage with some of Africa's greatest legends such as Hugh Masekela, Angelique Kidjo, Oliver Mtukudzi, Thomas Mapfumo and more.
