Mapfumo Speaks: Hallelujah Lyrics

That was in 1973 when I went to Mhangura
Mhangura is a place where they mine copper
We went there to form a band
And the band was called Hallelujah Chicken Run
Because most of the band members were working at the chicken run
Howe…
Hallelujah Chicken Run was a new band and with new music, with new ideas
We decided to compose our own own music which we decided to call Afrorock
There was only one tune that was not Afrorock
It was really, I mean Zimbabwe traditional tune
Out of all the singles that we recorded, that single, that record, is the only one that people accepted
Because this record was millitant, it was about the war
