He is a devotee of Sungura, the music of guerrilla guitarists, farmhand rockstars and metal oracles. A disciple of Dambudzo Marechera, the world's greatest writer of all time. And an apprentice of Shona Sculpture, the most dial-shifting art movement since the Italian Renaissance. He is named for his Father, Onai, his Grandfather, Sinere, and his Ancestor, Mushavahaazori. Those who know him well call know him as Sororemvumba Hwevamakara Guma Rinovirima Unga, Gavanenji Rinodziya Moto Nemusoro, Mauruka Shiri Inofudza Muteyi, just to say homie is an ancestor writing in double time. Sororemvumba rinotema; rinodada; harizezi. Warihwaka!
