The illustrious musician is endowed with lyrical and instrumental prowess which combines traditional drums with various other modern musical instruments.
Chikuwa’s manager George Chimana who is also an author of online novels said the album is a step in the right direction and they aim to produce videos for all songs but were facing financial challenges.
“Chikuwa is the pioneer of the sound popularly known as Mbungo; this album is another piece dedicated to our fans and we are working on producing videos for all the songs but we are facing financial challenges at the moment and we are appealing to the corporate world to help us,” said Chimana.
