United Kingdom-based sungura group, Kambo Boys, have
released a catchy music video titled Sweet Larissa to mark their entry into the
music circuit ahead of the release of their debut album later this month.
The outfit is made up of Tony Nembaware, Simba
Mapfudze and Nigel Fungai.
Nembaware told The ZimTainment that the band name, Kambo, was derived from Swahili, meaning “song” to reflect the African feel of
their music.
The forthcoming album was recorded and
produced by legendary instrumentalist and producer, Clive Mono Mukundu although
some of the recording was done at Hator Bros Entertainment Studios Ray B Studios
and Kambo Studios.
The music trio is inspired by legends
like Oliver Mtukudzi, Aleck Macheso, Khiama Boys as well as Sulumani Chimbetu
and Jah Prayzah.
“Like social commentators, we write about what
happens in day to day lives of people, drawing inspiration from such
experiences our music covers themes from love, motivation, corruption and even
diaspora life,” Nembaware said.
The group has previously been nominated for
two Zimbabwe Music and Arts awards for their ground breaking single, Melo,
which was nominated for best video while the group was nominated for Best Male
group. Melo video also ranked number two on the Dstv channel, Zambezi Magic and
it was also played on Trace Africa.
“We are still trying to perfect our act before
any live performances but have done much for our video and audio
productions,” Nembaware said.
“We will be announcing tour
dates and concert dates in the next few months but currently we are working on
our debut album which will be released later this year.”
