Chinhoyi Superstars

The Chinhoyi Superstars were a Zimbabwean band formed by Moyo Tembo, brother of the late Biggie Tembo from the Bhundu Boys. Legend has it that Biggie Tembo found a battered old guitar in a skip in Glasgow one night after a Bhundu Boys concert. He rescued it and took it home to Zimbabwe for his brother Moyo, who then formed a new group called The Chinhoyi Superstars, named of course after the area of Chinhoyi in Zimbabwe where they come from. They soon released their debut single Woiteyiko, produced by Steve Roskilly and big brother Biggie, Ishe Mangamuripi being the B-side. The song, 'Woiteyiko' tells of the importance of praying to God.

Peel nominated their single, 'Woiteyiko', as one of his records of the week in Hitlist and described it as highly kissable pop music:
"You may think I'm being deliberately obscure here but I genuinely think that this is highly likeable pop music. It may be from Zimbabwe but there is nothing remotely distant or alienating about it. I love the endless, ringing guitars..."
The track got played by Peel in October 1988, but never got revisited after that.
