One of the few female instrumentalists in the country Beatrice Kamwendo has said that she has now turned to gospel music.<\/p>\n
Beatrice who is a sister to gospel singer Ethel Kamwendo Banda has been missing on stage for some time.<\/p>\n
She said in an interview on Wednesday that she took a break just to give herself a rest but it has turned out to be a long break.<\/p>\n
Beatrice who among others plays drums, has in the past years been performing with Ben Mankhamba and Jenna Sisters.<\/p>\n
But she has been missing during numerous shows that Mankhamba has held including the recent one during the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation\u2019s Innovations Awards at College of Medicine Complex in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just took a normal break just to rest but then since then I have not been performing. The last time I performed was in 2013,\u201dshe said.<\/p>\n
Her absence on stage forced some quarters to say she has stopped music but Beatrice said she was still active only that for now she has turned gospel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am now in gospel, I want to sing for the Lord and for now I am performing in the praise team at Nkolokoti Livingwaters Church,\u201dshe said.<\/p>\n
She also revealed that she has songs which she would like to record but she has no money to go to the studio.<\/p>\n
During the time she was performing with Mankhamba, Beatrice also used to play backing vocals for her sister Ethel during her gospel performances.<\/p>\n
Her sister Ethel also moved from secular to gospel where she has done well and produced several albums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
