[edit] Biography
The band was started by Abidemi Ambo as a project with his best friends, Kgosi Naisoh and Jengo Afriakaani. Afolabi Bastiaans later joined but left in 2007, where Shekwan Farrakhan took his place as a drum machine operator [1] They are notable for avoiding usual musical rules, and generally creating most of their music as a result of a jam session [2]. All four members are from Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe Tribesmen are not known for playing live, and have been known to try to hide their faces.
Their first album was a released on February 22, 2007, which was solely distributed by the internet. It was entitled "Zimbabwe Tribesmen (Reload That Pistol, Son)".
