ManLuckerz & The ZimTraditional Unity (ZIM-TU)-

Album Text & Tracks-

 1 - Pandiri. Where I am
The song talks about how ManLuckerz has gone through hardships during his childhood. It also informs the young generation that success does not come cheaply; one should work hard to achieve one's objectives and goals. It is not easy to live like a king; one should fight for a better life. It is vanity to sit on one's hands and think that life will change for the better on its own or think that God/ancestors will help or come and provide, whilst one is not working hard. Life is all about struggling and overcoming.

 2 - Kukwangwaya. To suffer/poverty.
The song is about suffering due to a shortage of food and medicine. It calls on who have something to give a helping hand to those without. It asks the ancestors (vadzimu), how their new born baby can survive in the world of competition without the basic necessities of life.

 3 - Makandire-Muzani. My grandparents' names.
A song to thank to my ancestors for protecting me from evil spirit. Thus, I have managed to cross all the boarders without trouble. It's a song of praise to my father's totem and my mother's totem. It tells them to keep it up, to be with me and my family, wherever I go.

 4 - Mhazi. Totem.
Explains about what care/respect should be given to the children. Children shouldn't be abused just because they are children. Children will be the chiefs of the village, leaders of tomorrow, they need more respect more than anything else. Children's voices are important in their own right and have to be heard by who ever is next to them. First preference has to be given to our children in every step/decision that we intend to take/decide and that make a better world.

 5 - Zvinogumbura. It upsets.
What if it was you involved in a difficult family affair? For example; your sister is being abused, oppressed, and treated like a nonentity just because she does not satisfy her husband's demands in bed. She is chased away from home just because she doesn't dance the way her husband wanted her to. Should we treat our sisters in a barbaric manner just because they are women? Should women be under men's feet or without a voice? I say no, it really makes Madhinga sad, really makes Baba Thula upset. A real man does not abuse women just because they are women, no!

 6 - Vasharukwa. Ancestors.
What a wonderful role you have played for my success. I did not know that my dreams will one day come true. I really appreciate your kindness and encouragement in the struggle for survival. "Vadzimu vangu" you mean a lot for me. I know that you are there, you are there for me, and you are there to protect me from curses cast upon me by enemies.
