| description | The article is an expose' of how hegemony and music belonging to the
Shona communities of Zimbabwe have transcended the pre-colonial, colo-
nial and post-colonial periods. The discussion is premised on some onto-
logical comprehension that supremacy, socio-economic and political do-
minance by members of a community are aspects of power dynamics and
hegemony. As such the world communities are characterized by class
struggle in which the 'haves', who enjoy hegemony superimpose on the
'have-nots'. Communities are in a dilemma of trying to reduce the gap
between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. In this study, a qualitative ethnograp-
hic methodology was carried out among some Shona communities of Zim-
babwe. The findings were that music portrays socio-economic and political
hegemonies during the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial Zimbabwe.
It was also established that there is a strong relationship between music and
hegemony. Music, especially song and dance were used to achieve socio-
economic and political dominance during the three eras |
