Skokiaan
"Skokiaan" is a popular tune originally written by Rhodesian (Zimbabwean) musician August Musarurwa (d.1968, usually identified as August Msarurgwa on record labels) in the ''tsaba-tsaba'' big-band style that succeeded ''marabi''. Skokiaan (Chikokiyana in Shona)〔(''Kutema Musasa'' ), by Musekiwa Chingodza. ''Dandemutande Catalog'', Track 2. Retrieved 5 February 2008.〕 refers to an illegal self-made alcoholic beverage typically brewed over one day that may contain ingredients, such as maize meal, water and yeast, to speed up the fermentation process.〔(Saungweme T, Khumalo H, Mvundura E, et al. ) 1999. Iron and alcohol content of traditional beers in rural Rhodesia. ''The Central African Journal of Medicine'' 45(6):136-40. Retrieved 5 February 2008.〕〔(Muponde, Richard. ) 2006. Granny fined for brewing kachasu. ''Chronicle'', 18 March. Retrieved 5 February 2008.〕 The tune has also been recorded as "Sikokiyana," "Skokiana," and "Skokian."
Within a year of its 1954 release in South Africa, at least 19 cover versions of "Skokiaan" appeared. The Rhodesian version reached No 17 in the United States, while a cover version by Ralph Marterie climbed to No 3. All versions combined propelled the tune to No 2 on the ''Cash Box'' charts that year. Its popularity extended outside of music, with several urban areas in the United States taking its name. Artists who produced their own interpretations include Louis Armstrong, Bill Haley, Herb Alpert, Brave Combo, Hugh Masekela and Kermit Ruffins. The Wiggles also covered this song on their ''Furry Tales'' album. The music itself illustrates the mutual influences between Africa and the wider world.
