Robot Boii has joined the ever-growing list of South African musicians who have sung in Zimbabwe’s Shona language.
The Phakathi Inside musician sings in the Zimbabwean language on a new song featuring fellow South Africans Lady Du, Mbali The Real and Boboza. The South African musicians are featured on the song Chururuka by Zimbabwean rapper King98.
Chururuka means drip and according to King98 it is how he interprets South African culture in the summer. The Zimbabwean musician said he was inspired by Mzansi fashion, music, and slang and wanted to make a song that embodies these elements.
In his verse, Robot Boii gives a shout-out to the legendary South African trio Bongo Maffin. He also references Zulu Makhathini and says that he is learning Shona.
Part of the lyrics by Robot Boii read:
Chururuka drip empompin
Thatha les’Gubhu, Bongo Maffin
Hamba no Zulu biz’ uMkhathini
He took to social media and asked his fans what their favourite line from his verse was. Below are some of the responses:
