Mann Friday - Zimbo download offer

Mann Friday - Zimbo download  offerOn the Internet, being identified as a Zimbabwean surfer usually results in being locked out of the good stuff like PayPal, Facebook advertising and their friends. With Zimbo (and UK) rock band Mann Friday it’s the opposite; Only if you have a Zim IP address will you be able to download their latest album for free on mannfriday.com/zimbo.

The album, ‘Trainrides and Radio Play’, is the group’s latest and was launched about 2 weeks ago on iTunes and other download portals. Here’s what the band’s frontman Rob Burrell had to say on the giveaway:

We’ve been working pretty hard on this record and are so excited for people to hear it. As we gear up for releases online and in retail stores in Europe and South Africa in 2013 we felt it would be really great to let Zimbabweans have easy access to these new tracks. Zim has poured a huge amount of inspiration into all our songs, and we’d love to give something back this Christmas

The Christmas deal expires on 25 December (in four days) so if Zimbo rock is your kinda thing, you probably want to head over there sooner than later.

      A man’s gotta eat, but this is becoming a bit ridiculous. I haven’t seen anything worth reading these pas 2 weeks

        which IP blocks are being used to match up access with ? satellite comms IP or telco ip blocks ?

      This kinda is “Tech”ZIM so Im guessing they kinda do focus on stuff relevant to Zims tech scene and in the past couple of weeks I havent heard of anything ground breaking happening. So would you rather come back to a techzim that hasnt been updated in 2 weeks or rather come back and at least see that the people behind the scenes are at least trying to satisfy your appetite for locally relevant tech news?

      very techy article indeed, relevant to digital marketers responsible for finding ways to increase brand recognition of artists, relevant to artists exploring ways to monetize on digital platforms through music downloads. relevant to developer who should start wondering how you screen downloads using ip addresses. relevant to the entrepreneur who should see an opportunity to create a music streaming service and help local artists monetize using digital platforms.
