Cris Gera – Music In Me

Nziyo Dziri Mandiri (Music In Me) shows Cris Gera’s passion for social justice and issues affecting ordinary people and their lives. His music reflects his background and life around him in his native Zimbabwe.

The album was recorded in South Africa in 2016. Later that year, Cris clashed with the authorities in Zimbabwe when he released the song Chema Zimbabwe – a musical portrait of the social and economic problems the country is facing. The song caused a stir, and death threats and harassment forced Cris to flee to South Africa before traveling as a free city musician to Sweden through ICORN.

Cris Gera brings out a dark theme in the music, a theme that is both relevant and important. It encourages you to think, and through the music, through his vision and soundscape, we move towards the light.
