 |
 |
| Leonard Dembo (1961-1996) was a Zimbabwean guitar-band musician who became extremely popular in Zimbabwe in the 1990s with his band the Barura Express. Incorporating traditional Shona sayings in his lyrics, his musical style was rhumba-based, played on electric guitars tuned to emulate the characteristic sounds of the mbira. His 1992 hit "Chitekete" sold over 100,000 copies and became a popular song played at weddings. Dembo died of AIDS on April 9, 1996. The Barura Express has continued touring and recording.
