History Zimdancehall started in the late 1980s with the rising up of local sound systems. The popularity of these recordings led to more studio recordings. By the end of the 90s, a number of local youths were recording singles and albums independently and reggae bands like Cruxial Mix (Trevor Hall) and Black Roots holding regular weekly shows to showcase artists. The genre was cast as a copycat of Jamaican culture and way of life. Recording studios shunned it saying it does not appeal or sell. The emergence of independent studios and the arrival of urban grooves in 2001 opened doors for many artists with the release of v ...
