Crocodile Sounds

Crocodile Sounds is a military band of the Zimbabwe National Army‚ stationed at Inkomo Barracks in Harare, the national capital, where it serves aa part of the Mechanised Brigade. It was formed in 2015 through contributions by members of the brigade. It is composed of civilians and military personnel who function as a small ensemble. As a result, it does not take part in major parades like it's counterpart the Zim Army Band.

In the summer of 2018, the band launched and promoted its first music album entitled Garwe Rauya (a Shona phrase meaning "The hero has arrived") to raise support for the election campaign of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is himself referred to as "The Crocodile". The nine-track album was launched in May at a ceremony at Old Hararians Sports Club in Harare. Despite the similarities in the band name and Mnangagwa's nickname, the government has said that is no link between the president and the band, with officials explaining the name with the fact that the brigade's mascot is a crocodile.
