Episode 19| Sam Mataure on Tuku, Andy Brown, Miriam Makeba & His Journey etc | The Denny J Show 

The reach of you guests from poor to rich, entertainment to business is extraordinary & very refreshing. Keep it up. Some of us are in the diaspora & your show helps us keep clued in on what's happening in Zim. So thank you, you too.

Sam I never knew he was such a character 😂what a legend, but nyaya ya Andy Brown is exactly hunhu wa Andy. I saw him ku Sakubva Stadium achimhanyanyisa promoter me tsimbo mari yaramba kubuda and yakazobuda isu nana mdhara Trevor Hall tikadzoka takabata maoko chete😂

bla Sam munondipedza, you're have a knack for story telling. Absolutely enjoyed the interview!

This is just brilliant! Well done guys

This interview is a classic. You can listen to this man for days. These are legends for the show, it's classy and different from ma clowns edu amazwano aya. Sam is a true legend. Thank you Danny you should give more like this we can learn a lot from these people. Sam is humourous as well. Nice

Wow, I enjoyed this one. Thanks to The Denny J Show.

We have legends in zim 🙌🏽

This guy is a legend

Movie producers we need a movie on Sam please

This guy is hilarious 🤣

The best interview on this podcast by many miles. I could listen to Sam all day. What a personality😅🙌🏾 What a human being!

The most down to earth, unpretentious and entertaining interview ever!!! Thank you for bringing mukoma Sam! I never knew he could talk and crack jokes like this! May he be well in body and spirit.

Dope show!! Should have more subscribers than it has. A few suggestions, Danny J please make a call to action within 45sec of show starting and 1 min b4 Show ends also some were in the middle of the interview especial pari emotionally heightend: ask people to subscribe, save notifications, and share. etc Producer: change thumbnail, put a clear catchy one guest picture with their name etc. Ping a notification calling to action every 30mins. i hope this helps.But show yenyu yekanyanya!!

I think l must be awarded a special award for being an addict to this show. This episode was unique and fan. Sam is hilarious - I have never laughed this hard lol. This show must be renamed to 'I Just came here to chill' - excellent work guys

That emotional moment at 32:36 choked me. So real so genuine but he sailed through. I wish dei mabvunza why in particular pa christmas pass, what was it about it. I saw the tears in his eyes. Beautiful, real, vulnerable moment.

My favorite episode by far. Watching for the second time in 24hours can't get enough of it.

The most hilarious show so far‼️😂Sam is indeed a legend and funny

This was so much fun and entertaining! The best yet! Thank you Sam or should I say Tendai for sharing your stories and thank you Denny J Show for providing the platform!

I was such a young kid but I still have vivid memories of Sam's amazing solo on the last song, tuku live in san fransisco gig. My father would play that video tape every night. Legend. Hilarious too!

Sam is funny man 😂😂😂😂 he just narrates stories in a funny way

They need to make a movie about your life! Fantastic story telling Sam! Amazing life and career. Much love my friend

Great Podcast. Sam is a legend. Lived with him in the Avenues. Watched him from his brief flirtation naMukanya. Paakaenda kwaAndy Brown akapedza maSports. Taati kanaTK yavhara kuPint and Bite, kwaMudhara Dengu, taakutsvaga mafaro boyz dzaitanga kubvunza kuti Sam ari kuridza here kwaAndy Brown nhasi? Zvikanzi mupfanha Hillman ndhiye ari pamaDrums taibva tatsvaga zvimwe. Because naSam mainzwa kuti paita simbi yebasa apa. Then Debbie poached you kuenda kwaMudhara Tuku. Boyz "rese" reTonaz followed. Remember those Sundays emaSolo aTuku naDhongi mugarden paTK? Tinana Steve (Lawyer), Bonzo, Lance etc. Sam chilled with the boyz like he was not a superstar. Humble but funny dude. I wish Denny you could organise a thank you fundraiser for Sam as he is now no longer in very good health to hit the drums with both hands like he used. Just glad he survived the stroke. Asi Samson akabvira kudhara asingade zveMelaz. We love you Sam. Long life bro. Dai ukatizirwa.

😂😂😂…I just can’t…what a guy!!What if Thandeka is married…what a legend and thanks again gang gang 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Spent a day with Sam in Dar some few years back, a great character indeed and nyaya hadzipere. Takaswera tichiseka whole day!!!!!!!!

This interview and Nigel’s brought me back in the days. Haikona zvama ama 2000 zvenoise. Keep on bringing hey days legendaries. This set u apart from other zim podcasts. I would love to see Peter ndlovu or Norman mapeza, and old zim drama casts. Otherwise well done

How does he keep a straight face and im dying 😂😂😂😂. Such a great story teller

Thanks Bro Sam M had such an amazing time driving back from work today. I wish more shows could be so heart warming like this show. I am one person who advertises it for you Dennys. I love this show with all my heart... ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🦋🦋🦋💕💕💕

This was a very interesting conversation, Denny and Becky! Sam Mataure is such an interesting man! We are hooked to the channel!

Uuummm mkoma Sam must come again, great story teller, I wish him all the best finding a good wife not just a wife, a good wife.....he deserves a good life.

Great, great interview! Sam you're a LEGEND!!!! I remember my dad, with his Peugout 404, used to be hired by you and other Ekhaya Band members after your shows to ferry you back home then in Mutare. You're such a great and hilarious storyteller. Excellent interviewers!!!

The humility in that sense of humour is . . . . woooow! Amazing guy! legend!

He is right Ethiopian women kumberi. This was a good one. Denny J well done. Beki was looking extra beautiful today.

Been watching Miriam Makeba's videos and was proud to see mkoma Sam on drums. This was a great interview I must say.

I love Sam hez humble and down to earth im even shocked to learn he played for all those big SA artistes...you guys forgot to even mention theres a Mai Suluma album that Sam played drums my favourite Shingisai Suluma Album

Sam is always hilarious LIVING LEGEND

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you guys, you really give the guys time to talk without too many interjections. Tendai munhu bhoo...kkkkkk

bring him back again..could go on for three episodes listening to his stories..what a guy, legend!

Truly looking forward to this interview with Sam. We have known each other from School in Mutare. Watching from the UK, Sodzai.

I can relate directly what Sam is saying. We were in the same stream at the same time.

😂😂😂I must say I enjoyed this show from the beginning to the end.

Born in Mutare and now based out of the country....This dude just took me down memory lane of the nice good old days....SAM you are the boss..thank you...You are definitely 100% responsible for your actions...

Sam is got stories for days man. Wish him well in his endeavors. For me, best interview on the channel.

This is the best, brilliant and very entertaining. A good sense of humor yet humble and very down to earth .

Great show guys. Sam despite being a living legend is really a very funny guy. Danny J and Becky K makes a great team of professional interviewers. Well researched interview this one and unlike other interviewers you are very patient and you give your guests the chance to explain themselves. Best wishes to Sam Mataure and his new base at Dr. Mapfumo & The Blacks Unlimited. And what a grande finish from Becky K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kikikikkikiki mudhara Sam 😅😅😅you like me haaa inini I call my self 😊😅😅especially kubasa kwngu hahahahaha😂

Best interview so far , i wasn’t expecting it to be this entertaining 😂. Brilliant guy

The humility in this guy, amazing. The way he downplays his achievements, you never hear him showering himself with praises even though he was a beast. Amazing story teller!! I remember around 2005 first time watching him play with Louis Mhlanga at a jazz festival at 7 Arts Avondale Harare. His solo blew me away. Sounded so good, so full of rhythm it could have easily been a record. 52:18 He literally auditioned for Miriam Makeba playing a song he doesn't know and he impressed the icon . . . legendary. I like the way he focuses on how nervous he was instead. 1:08:10 He says he is introduced last because drums are "noisy", don't believe that, he was introduced last because his solo was a highlight. He doesn't mention how his solos rocked. In the early stages of his career he says Thomas Mapfumo cautioned him about wanting to steal the show in Sakubva, I bet that had a lot to do with how good his solo was. 35:54 The guy already had a opening drummer in the early stages of his career playing for Thomas Mapfumo

absolutely amazing, i never miss an episode you guys are doing the most.

The way mdara uyu played drums with the Miriam Makeba band, (this band was something else a mixer of artists from different nations far and beyond)was inhuman the flawlessness is still epic up to now ,be blessed mdara .

😅😅😅hahahaha your journey was so amazing 😅😅😅

Sam a great story teller. Well done Denny and Becks!

It seems i am getting addicted to this show.After every two day i find myself checking on the search engine if you guys have uploaded something.Honestly you are doing a superb job.Love the way you guys dresses.Kuzoti mabhingo yeah kwakuseri.Ngazviende mberi.

This podcast desperately needs subtitles …the reach beyond Zim could be 🔥 with subtitles. Watch Mac G’s show in SA…we watch religiously all interviews in every language thanks to subtitles

I loved watching this. Sam says it sezvazviri, no sugar coating. The best interview I have watched from these guys.

@Sam Mataure's Wonderful Perfomance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ohpcOOhWNbA.html for all who would like to see him play

Brilliant episode with the legendary Sam T Mataure! So humble and funny, great story. Ndaspakwa 10/10 🙏

Sam is book material. He has a deep sense of loyalty, is outright funny and has music experiences of encyclopedic proportions. Loved interview to bits save for instances of foul language.

After Nigel, this is the Second best interview.Thank you guys.

I loved this episode he is so funny n I hope he finds Thandi😂😂

Sam is hilarious. Wish you a healthy future ahead. We love and appreciate your contributions to the industry

An amazing storyteller. I loved it.

You’re a great bunch guys. Respect. And respect too to the great Sam Mataure.

Ndokumbirawo kuti Producer vabhane Denny from dhakwaz during the show. Plus abise magirazi.

I am usually particular about the interviews i watch. Stumbled on this one and my my my what a piece. I love natural pple who r not pretentious. This guy is real. Original. Loved it. Time not wasted at all🤝🤝🤝

What I love most is that this guy takes responsibility for his actions. No blame game and no regrets.

This guy played drums while texting on what's app something which amazed me and my friend Noah Mkono

What a brilliant story-teller!!!😂🤣 Thank you for the wonderful interview peeps 🙏🏽 This was truly informative, worthwhile and entertaining!!! Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

Wooh wooh🙌🏽🙌🏽 this interview was fantastic, just beautiful. Very good narration by Sam. Looking forward to the next one. Well done guys!!

Sam Bro , I can so identify with all the stuff Sam is saying, From the Places in MRE , Tenda Bus , Dairy Den etc.. A good Brother

Sam is such a funny guy i loved his humor. This was a great interview

Good show guys. Interesting insights into Sam's journey. Keep up the good work guys - more of this quality guys!!!

Wonderful journey Sam. You should write all this down. Kkk in a book. You are a remarkable story teller. I laughed through every minute of this.

For all the Shumbaz who were at Mutare Boys High school..

LOOOL. Mataure is a brilliant story-teller. He reminds me of my late uncle. I am absolutely loving this interview.

I really don't come to understand why artistes have to submit their work to be considered for awards. I think some deserve to be awarded for their good work and not post on WhatsApp groups asking people to vote for them.

Sam Mataure, you’re fuc#%n’ brilliant & such a cool geezer, full to the brim with self deprecating humour, deadpan & such satire…. kudos to you matey 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! You probably must’ve known Pamure Machisa, drummer of Runn Family band in Mutare who also grew up in Devonshire, Sakubva 🇿🇼!? I befriended Pamure during Mutare Teacher’s College fun nights out at gigs the band hosted at Fiesta Park, a popular joint that’s was a stone’s throw with Forbes Border Post at the border with Mozambique 🇲🇿!

I'm so inspired with uncle Sam but way he narrates his story it's so hilarious shem 😂😂😂

Wooow he is a living legend. Great sense of humor was laughing throughout the interview ❤️

yaya ya Andy he has been like this since he crossed path with the bass guitarist in the middle of play smashed his guitar and the band stopped playing that was in the early eighties

Omg this was one the best, I loved this. Sam has a wicked sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The mother and Miriam Makeba part touched me hanzi ndaida kuchema she was proud nemwana wawo vemusakubva.

“Ndakaona huku ineronda 💀” LMAO

This is a great guy

Hilarious, Inspirational and amazing interview

This guy is always like this...Mdara Sam ..Proud FernValley fam..

Captivating! 🙌🙌 I am usually that person who fast-tracks such interviews and get done with them ..but the LEGND Sam pinned me down. The hosts were amazing. We need good writers to have the stories like Sam's in a book.

#letsfindThandeka#Rothmanscollege#1986#SamMataure#weddingoftheyear

So beautiful to see my favorite drummer. I am a Mutare boy who met Sam and got my tiny start to music from him. Always humble, always courteous. His mum was such a beautiful nurse. Wishing him well and full recovery.

I was in the same class with Sam. Mutare Boys High. So true, in class from the time I knew him he would always be drumming on the desk and protractor case.Was always a respectful and true gentleman. Nice to see him after all these. Looking well my friend.

He is just a organized guy . He changed the music industry in zim

This is the most interesting interview I have ever watched. So hilarious. Love this. Sam is a cool guy.

True legend we blessed to have you Sam

Great Storyteller, guyz this podcast will get low views but it was the definition of your show....far much better than Javas.
