memories from Kitwe, in the 1986-1988s I was lecturing at ZIT ( Copperbelt University) as an expartriate from Uganda in Civil Engineering as a young man, had greatest memories in Chimweme townships with my friend teacher John Mbwofwana!
Good to hear that from someone like you, at that time I was living in neighbouring Mindolo Township and was in my junior secondary school at Kitwe Boys.. indeed those were nice and memorable days.
John Mulemena is one the Zambian greatest musician of all time. Umwaume Wabufuba was recorded in their first ever LP Album Litande. This was recorded at DB Studios in 1987 and the Album hit the Zambian Air Waves like no man's business. Jessie Bwaluka on Bass Guiter, John Mulemena on Leader and vocals, Osward Mwelwa of Rythm and Brian Machila on Drums. Also on Vocals was Evaristo Bwalya.
@@obertymuchaili4231 Madichi replaced Jessie Bwaluka who died after recording Litande album. Madichi played Bass on Bwaluka album (1989) and Nsakwa ya Kaonde album before he died too.
Brilliant song this one!!! 🕺🏿 This song is a constant reminder that heads of households should always look after those they've chosen as their spouses and the innocents they've brought into this world. Being a man of the house is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. 😅
This reminds me of ba "Pops" and my late colleague Samuel Luhamba. We could be at Chimwemwe Inn pa bus stop in Chawama listening to the Masasu and Mulemena Boys songs in 80s. God is gracious 🙏
A good song is a good song! Be it reggae, sausa, kizomba, rumba, R'n'B etc. It is such songs that touch the core of my heart and just feel at peace at heart. This song sounds new every time I play it. Everything is simple but pure!
am convinced beyond reasonable doubt, in totality this is True copy of the original legends of zambian music @ its best and nostalgic. Oh yes!! all those childhood memories coming back to me
This is one of Zambian Bands at the time whose development was purely due to constant innovation due to high level calibre of band leader and composer John Mulemena. We shall surely not find one of his kind in a long time.
They were all talented with all the very superior voices by then I was very young and to me it between 1983to1990s mount makulu chilanga area during the Kaunda era
Best ever of our generation am still enjoying the music John the Kapijimpanga royal family is missing you who can come back with such good music our traditional music
It's a nice one, reminding me of those days of pure, natural chibuku beer, decent clothing on new years eve and other special occasions in chawama,lusaka
Good stuff on records this world has really evolved see were we are and where we are coming from CB copperbelt Ku luanshya mwana shi mine me at kansumbi primary school Ku mpatamatu
Today 15 August 2017 i promise to continue keeping our Culture alive . zambian music @ its best and nostalgic. Oh yes!! all those childhood memories coming back to me
It was young brother to Jessie Bwaluka (played bass in this song) Timothy Bwaluka who formed Bwaluka founders band . Jessie Bwaluka passed on after they recorded Litande where this song is found. Contact me for more history about these bands geofreyzulu@yahoo.com
Did anyone play banjos made out of cooking oil tins and spring wires. A plank would make the neck and other improvisations to come up with some sound. When introduced to the electric guitar, you just get louder, but keep the same simple arrangements. We only needed 4 strings to round out the sound, just listen and you agree that he is using only 4 strings for the Rythm.
How do one get such songs of late, Liam jazz band,, these were real songs with meaning , big man pichel kazembee and Stanley bar, anzarc arms, people it was nice.... I want these songs
Brings back those old memories when we used to hold end of year parties. Interestingly, we used to have these annual celebrations in our banking halls. This was one of our favourite tracks. Indeed, this was a great band.
So we can still revive this spirit if we continue to encourage these boys and also team up and see how we can support what we love most. MASASU WAIYA UMO AKAFWA - this was their Slogan at the inception. It changed to MASASU WAIYA WABA BAKALAMBA and finally to MASASU WAIYA WABAICE na BAKALAMBA BONSE.
Infact I used to interact naba John big time.I know how the band started and all members through to be present day young men still stumming the real Manchancha music. Sounds original because these boys grew being trained by John Mulemena.
This is what we call true Zambian music. Listening in Glasgow 2018 December. Still feels so new. Kikiikk umwaume wabufuba just in case you are wondering it means a very jealous and stingy man....😂
Tell me more about John Mulemena mudala, i want to know more about masasu band, did he have sons who play this music or something, there is so much that we need to know about this great son of Emmanuel Mulemena. Get in touch with me @martinmwaba@gmail.com.

Our music heritage is very rich. Just take a moment and enjoy the instrumentals + vocals.. Just brilliant! I love my country, Zambia.
masasu waiya
Sad part is that our young generation doesn’t enjoy this type of music.i love this
It was another generation,it is now out of ✋, what a time it was.
J
These songs were being played by the late Dr Zambia Isaac Mulinda. Pure Zambian. Nice one. 2019 October 15 still listening to it. Whose with me today
I wish children of today can be able to learn from the past. Even now, such songs are worthy listening to. More life lessons I can say.
John Mulemena is one the Zambian greatest musician of all time. Umwaume Wabufuba was recorded in their first ever LP Album Litande.

Jessie Bwaluka on Bass Guiter, John Mulemena on Leader and vocals, Osward Mwelwa of Rythm and Brian Machila on Drums. Also on Vocals was Evaristo Bwalya.
What an insight. I guess it was the true birth of Zambian music
Not fogetting Francis Chisenga on vocals
What of Madichi
@@obertymuchaili4231 Madichi replaced Jessie Bwaluka who died after recording Litande album. Madichi played Bass on Bwaluka album (1989) and Nsakwa ya Kaonde album before he died too.

This song is a constant reminder that heads of households should always look after those they've chosen as their spouses and the innocents they've brought into this world. Being a man of the house is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. 😅

I like the song.i remember the time I was growing up in 90z
Infact I used to interact naba John big time.I know how the band started and all members through to be present day young men still stumming the real Manchancha music. Sounds original because these boys grew being trained by John Mulemena.
