Fans mock Fantan

Local Zimdancehall fans have remained on DJ Fantans case with an image of Winky D and Beenie Man used as a reference point on the issue of Chillspot records having brought dancehall culture to Zimbabwe.

Fans have of late quizzed assertions made by Fantan to the effect that he had created Zimdancehall. In interviews that have followed, Fantan has however denied the claims saying he was making reference to the commercialisation of the Zimdancehall genre.

Zimdancehall has emerged as a genre of choice on the music landscape and debate has over the past few days been around the Zimdancehall genre.

Templeman, DJ Squiller and Sniper were on Tuesday interviewed on the matter of the origins of Zimdancehall with the trio tracing the genre to the mid-90’s to late 90’s. Arguments are that the likes of Thomas Mapfumo and John Chibadura in a way pioneered Zimdancehall although this is not acknowledged.
