If you are looking for great acapella music, \u2018The 80s Vocals\u2019 straight-to-the-heart voices might be just what you need to make you smile. The 80s Vocals is a Windhoek-based acapella group of four, who believe there is no harm in doing things differently, saying \u201cauthenticity is key in music\u201d.<\/p>\n

Before coming to the city, the band emerged in the northern parts of the country in 2017, performing at various events, and their bond as a group is growing stronger.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all started at weddings, where our group provided the best entertainment, and people started liking our performance and calling us for more performances,\u201d said band member Tuhafeni Kaimbi. The other band members are Mutilifa Talvi Bwila, Hamundjembo \u2018DR40\u2019 Julius and Shipaxu Setson Kanamayee.<\/p>\n

Camarada, which is Kaimbi\u2019s stage name, told VIBEZ! they encountered various challenges but nothing discouraged them from putting in more effort into their singing, because their vision is to make a name for themselves and perform at bigger events across Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t face many obstacles, but when we started singing, many people who knew our backgrounds started calling us names, because they didn\u2019t understand what we were trying to come up with. It wasn\u2019t easy to find sponsors, and it wasn\u2019t easy to stand in a studio for the first time. It was a long and difficult journey to get to where we are today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

They released their first album and most creative project with 17 tracks, titled \u2018Ondjuulufi\u2019, last year. It is available on iTunes and was sponsored by various companies, including prominent law firms Sisa Namandje & Co and Kadhila Amoomo Legal Practitioners.<\/p>\n

Unlike other music genres, acapella music is performed without beats. Kaimbi said they are looking forward to working with anyone who needs exceptional performances at their events. The group is set to drop their second album next month.<\/p>\n
