We are loving CQ's new video "Waziba" from his recent album. But just because we do does not mean you should not tell us what you think about it. Take a look and let the comments roll.
CQ and I have been bumping into each other a lot at La Mimosa (Arcades Shopping Centre, Lusaka). An interview with him will be posted soon.
"Waziba" was directed was directed by Vatice of Inzy Photography.
As the wise saying goes………’Better Late Than Never’. Well, though these guys have released their album later that expected I believe its worth the wait. I sampled through the album and was very impressed at the maturity in the songs. I kept rewinding the album as they have only released it on cassette before launching the compact disc version which will have bonus songs. I had a chat with Killian Siyandi A.K.A Kilsta who stated that the response has been great from the people who have heard and bought the album. He said that they say that the album is different from the albums already on the market. The album has a favorite song for everyone because it caters for a varied audience – the young and the old. The album has Reggae, R&B, Rap and Kalindula flavors.
