HARARE - The Zimbabwe Poets for Human Rights (ZPHR) is
set to officially unveil their newly-released musical poetry album
dubbed All Protocols Observed to the European market in Munster, Germany
on the July 14 at a global intercultural event to be hosted there.
The album which has received a warm reception by the Zimbabwean audience after its successful launch at a colourful event at Jazz 105 in Harare is set to put the work of the militant word spoken movement on the European radar.
“The intercultural night is an annual world event that brings together people from different continents who are making a difference in their countries. We are happy as ZPHR to have been identified as people who are making contribution to our country by sparking and keeping debate alive on different issues affecting our people through the use of our artistic work,” said Robson Shoes by phone from Germany.
Their hard-hitting eight track album takes a look at various political, socio and economic issues that are affecting ordinary Zimbabweans.
ZPHR will perform alongside other cultural activists from across the globe that include but are not limited to cultural activists from Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, England, Iraq, and Germany among many others.
“For us this is a seal of approval of our work by the world and recognition of the strides we have made in contributing to the national question since our inception as ZPHR,” said Michael Mabwe ZPHR co-founder."
“It is an affirmation of why we are called weapons of mass instruction as a movement and this inspires us to continue writing about anything, everything and anyone as long as it has something to do with the issue of human rights in Zimbabwe.”
The album includes such tracks as the comic Dollar for Two, Maopareshoni naMakomishoni, the famed Todiniko Neavo, Press Freedom, Dirty Dirt and What Shall We Say And Do among others.
During their stay in Germany Robson Shoes and Michael Mabwe will also conduct workshops in schools on how to use poetry in addressing human rights issues. They will also feature as guest performers at the Muenster Poetry Slam.
ZPHR was established in 2007 to address human rights issues in a simplified but entertaining way that delivers messages to people’s door steps in a language that they enjoy listening to.
Since its inception it has made a great impact and managed to demystify the human rights discourse.
