Known formerly as Southern Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, on this day in 1980, gained its independence from Britain. A landlocked country in southern Africa, Zimbabwe is known for its beautifully diverse wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and landmarks with the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls.
With a population of close to 15 million, Zimbabwe has been marred by political instability, mostly during the reign of its longest-serving president, Robert Mugabe.
Despite the pockets of instability, Zimbabwe has a vibrant music industry. The country is a hub for creativity as it boasts of some of the best musicians and artists on the continent.
