Nyandoro Mthenga compiles best of his music
Sena Jive star Stanley Nyandoro Mthenga said on Thursday that he was still active with music despite being silent.
Mthenga revealed that he has compiled a collection of Best of Nyandoro Mthenga to be on the market later this year.
“I am still in music and active although I have been silent. People should look forward to the Best of Nyandoro Mthenga. I also have a new album which is not titled yet but will be released if all goes according to plan during the Mgumano Wa A Sena and A Mang’anja launch,” he said.
Mthenga said he is not in a hurry as he would want to give people good music that has an identity.
The new album will be his sixth. His previous five albums are Crocodile Tears which had the hit Binji Na Mkazache, Ndilemejembo, Mtchona which had the song ‘Sena Jive’, Wako Ndi Wako and No Name.
With youthful artists taking over the proceedings on the market, many musicians of the older generation have failed to stand out.
Meanwhile Mthenga has said in order to promote their culture in the Lower Shire, they will launch a festival on September 30 at Paramount Chief Lundu’s Headquarters in Chikwawa.
“This will be an annual festival just like our friends have done. On the same day we will also launch the Mgumano wa A Sena ndi A Mang’anja,” said Mthenga, who is the spokesperson of the grouping.
He said during the festival and the launch of the grouping people will be treated to among others traditional dances citing among others Utse, Ulimba, Maseseto and Gule Wamkulu.
“The aim of this grouping is to promote and preserve culture. On the day people will also have a chance to watch music performances from among others Joseph Tembo, Agorosso, Lucky Stars Band, Miracle Chinga Moffat and Khwathwa Aligiza,” Mthenga said.
He said that the chairperson of the grouping is Eric Trinta while Paramount Chief Lundu is the patron while the board chairperson is Owen Chomanika.
