Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Self-styled Chichewa Hip Hop landlord, Gwamba, Duncan Zgambo, has been advised by his fanatics, to strictly book artists that are based in the Northern Region for his \u2018mama said God first\u2019 album launch in Mzuzu, slated for November 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn both launches, that of Blantyre and Lilongwe, he didn\u2019t book any artist from here, northern region. Why should we have those from other regions here?\u201d Fumed one of the fans on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Added another fan: \u201cThis must be an opportunity for upcoming artists in Mzuzu to get exposed. May you rope in as many upcoming artists from the north as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fans were reacting to Gwamba\u2019s post that explored for suggestions on artists he must book to headline his album\u2019s regional launch at the Mzuzu stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing about being regionalistic. We want fairness. It hurts to see companies hosting shows here, in Mzuzu, in company of artists from as far as Blantyre as if we ain\u2019t got good artists here. Let Gwamba strictly hire artists based in the Northern Region,\u201d said Kamoto Muyawa, another fan.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Zizakhala better\u2019 father, who seems to be geared for the event, earlier on pinpointed Wakisa James, an urban music upcoming artist, based in Mzimba, to be one of the supporting artists thereat.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides Wakisa James, he must also consider Thondwa and Vocalist Lick C. These two guys are Giants in northern region. He won\u2019t regret his choice,\u201d suggested David Sichinga, a fan.<\/p>\n

The album launch which was postponed amid Corona virus surge last year is expected to be one of the memorable shows in Mzuzu. \u201cWe\u2019re ready to flood Mzuzu stadium. In fact, we\u2019d overflow it. We love Gwamba. We can\u2019t wait,\u201d said another loyalist.<\/p>\n

The album that consists of about eleven songs, features both local and International artists like Lawi, Fredo Kiss and Beracah, among others. Kell Kay, Charisma and Martse are expected to perform at the show. There was no comment on the matter from Gwamba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
