The Musical Legacy of Leonard Karikoga Zhakata: Rhythms of Social Justice and Development

This book offers multidisciplinary perspectives on the work of Zimbabwean musician Leonard Karikoga Zhakata. His music has, since the late 1980s, been advocating for the betterment of marginalised people's livelihoods. His voice has a transformative logic, giving voice to the voiceless, hope to the hopeless and security to the vulnerable. In short, Zhakata sings for social justice, development and the amelioration of human suffering.
