It's almost as if all the hit producing musicians were from bands in the past. Perhaps today’s music artists should collaborate more to create that feel. This week we bring you THE MASHABE BAND. Active during the golden age of Zambian music in the 1980s, the Band stands out as one of the most culturally authentic, captivating, and deeply Afrocentric exponents of the Kalindula genre.

While bands like the WITCH, Ngozi Family, and Amanaz defined the fuzz-drenched Zamrock era of the 1970s, the Mashabe Band spearheaded a collective return to local roots, transforming traditional rhythms into an electrified, modern groove.

The term "Mashabe" carries deep spiritual significance in Zambia, referring to mystical, foreign healing spirits historically associated with spirit possession, problem-solving, and ritual dances among the Nsenga, Lenje, and neighboring peoples.

The band was famous for performing in striking traditional attire, often utilizing symbolic body paint to emphasize their cultural roots.

Mashabe mainly used Bemba for most of their tracks, they also recorded extensively across regional languages, including Lenje, honoring the multi-ethnic fabric of Zambian identity.

The band’s leader was James Chisenga fronting: Dave Sitambuli, Andrew Banda, Evans Kaluba Kamimbi and Mwila Yumba.

The band released a number of albums, including: Mashabe Volume One in 1985, and Mandela in 1987.
Some of the most notable tracks were: Wechaminda Wikalipa, Mukakuleni Mandela, Chibangu and Impalume Shaya.

Julius Musonda

Today we have woken up to photos from residents across Copperbelt who claim to have seen a bright light in the night sky last night.

According to one of them who talked to Pleides news this morning identified by his Facebook user name: Dj-Tîgêr Pâ Mwêlâ the light appeared around 8:00pm.

He says the light was so bright that it lighted up the whole place as it moved silently while leaving a fiery trail.

Locals in his area shouted at it with ‘blood of Jesus’ slogans as they suspected it was witchcraft.

However, more people from Kasumba Lesa, Kitwe West and Chingola confirmed the sighting.

This comes at a time when the US government is releasing a ton of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon -UAP previously known as Unidentified Flying Objects-UFO. In our country, it is not clear where to report strange aerial sightings and usually our culture identify anything it see unusual as to be works of witchcraft.
