“Catholic Music Legend”

How many people can claim to be the official pioneer of a “Standard Catholic Drum Beat”?

If you have read Chaka Chawasarira’s biography, you know the suspicion and rejection he faced when he introduced drums and the mbira into the Catholic church service. At least for the former, he recently received an award.

Now I wonder if he will still receive recognition in his lifetime for the Catholic mass he composed for the 19-key karimba.
