Corruption is an album by the Zimbabwean musician Thomas Mapfumo (credited with his band, the Blacks Unlimited), released in 1989. The album criticized the government of Robert Mugabe. Mugabe's displeasure with the criticism eventually forced Mapfumo into exile, and Mapfumo's music was barred from Zimbabwean radio. The title track was discussed in the Zimbabwean parliament, around the same time as several government officials were indicted as part of a smuggling ring.[9]
Corruption was Mapfumo's first album to be released by a major label in North America. A Zimbabwean version of the album, titled Varombo Kuvarombo, had been released by Gramma Records.
