Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Renowned arts enthusiast Peter Mazunda has retired from his retirement having taken on board Mitengeli Choir after parting ways with Malawi\u2019s most followed musician Patience Namadingo about a year ago.<\/p>\n

Mazunda has made the announcement earlier today. In his message, Mazunda has said people\u2019s unwavering support has moved him to reconsider his decision to part ways with the art.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve trusted and encouraged me to reconsider my passion for art. If not for your unwavering support in the past 245 days, I would\u2019ve permanently retired,\u201d reads part of Mazunda\u2019s message in partial.<\/p>\n

He has added that his return to the art is in the name of taking the industry to greater heights. He said: \u201cI owe you the very best, and the only thing I can give back to you is my passion for Malawi music: to nurture it and see it grow tremendously.\u201d<\/p>\n

The veteran videographer and artists\u2019 manager parted ways with Namadingo in the past year. He cited a switch of focus to farming as the reason for cutting ties with Namadingo.<\/p>\n

Mitengeli introduced themselves on the music scene with their ballad called Ndalama which features Namadingo, a few years ago. Then they earned a management deal with Namartists.<\/p>\n
