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

[@babava2263]

Agreed. Sam ibhoo munhu.

[@muchineripikanengoni2948]

wasn't even an interview. this guy was storytelling 😂

[@grantmunatsi1856]

he is great story teller...

[@dust1816]

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.

[@mthulisidube5502]

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.

[@vukilemarahwa8446]

Great show

[@oliverchipoyera]

Who is poor no one is poor

[@michaelkutsirayi2137]

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

[@maverickmillionaire9792]

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.

[@marshamutisi8442]

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

[@kevinmunetsi6651]

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!

[@pharaohlomazolo950]

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

[@theclassics7513]

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

[@sancho7385]

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

[@daddyslaggy8606]

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😂

[@mhukahuru8377]

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

[@komodo982]

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!!

[@drewsrands5740]

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

[@piecha23]

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

[@rudomukamuri2911]

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... ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🦋🦋🦋💕💕💕

[@itayizinzombe947]

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

[@michaelkutsirayi2137]

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

[@carlosmwandiambira8317]

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🤝🤝🤝

[@lloydmukutirwa3254]

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

[@eltonchirowa]

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...

[@oliverchipoyera]

Where are you based now

[@user-tp9dv7rb1r]

[@teramaimakumbe4793]

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!!!

[@joyent7643]

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!

[@taujinga5630]

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.

[@zibba007]

Foul language? Ironic in England the word f*€k is not foul at all. The English use it everyday

[@taujinga5630]

@@zibba007 I have more praise for the interview than disapproval. Anyway foul is foul Zibba. Don't abuse my lack of familiarity with England.

[@giftkufamuni3736]

But we are not English despite using that language, neither is he addressing an English audience

[@MunyaradziKuvengurwa00]

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

[@sikoliwesithole7373]

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

[@drewsrands5740]

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

[@kubatanatogetherasone2497]

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

[@DJVybeBeats]

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

[@MpumeleloNyoni]

An amazing storyteller. I loved it.

[@Missave2]

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

[@johnmadzingah2186]

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 .

[@ulyssesdube]

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.

[@majobho2034]

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

[@MegaLmae]

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

[@rangariraidembure3469]

[@babava2263]

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.
