The role of music in the Shangaan community of Southern Zimbabwe
Music plays a vital role among the Shangaan people (also known as the Tsonga or Hlengwe) in southern Zimbabwe. Shangaan music, both in its traditional and modern forms, continues to serve as an important vehicle of expression for socio-political commentary on several issues that relate to the Shangaan people's worldview, lived experiences, and cultural identity.

Among other artists, Josefa Chauke, also known as Papa Tsongo, has consistently used the musical front to speak for the Shangaan people, putting them on the map in a nation where ethnic minorities are generally invisible.
