I imagine the Adams House Library on a Friday evening, the room smoky and full of young men clutching cloth-bound books and fountain pens poised to scribble notes in the margins.

In this freedom fight, as in a similar one some two decades ago, music is applying pressure. "To us, music is life," says Black Spirits bassist Never Mpofu. Songs like Mapfumo's anthemic Huni ("Do not play with the people, because the people can revolt") and Mtukudzi...
