Description
This book offers multidisciplinary perspectives on the work of Zimbabwean musician Leonard Karikoga Zhakata.

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.
