Peel and Sheila got to visit Victoria Falls, that is situated between Zambia and Zimbabwe in 1988 and crossed the border from Zimbabwe to Zambia with the intention of crossing to see the falls from the other side. One of the ways he convinced the border guards to cross the territory according to Margrave Of The Marshes was to mention a few Zambian records to the guards, who were impressed with his knowledge of the local music and singing a duet with one of the border guards on a few verses of 'Samora Michel' by the Zambian band Shalawambe.
Peel often played music from Zambia and some of them did sessions for his show. Only two artists from the African continent have had Festive Fifty entries, one from the Bhundu Boys of Zimbabwe and the other from Shalawambe of Zambia.
