Renowned singer and guitarist Faith Mussa has established his own band known as Mdidi, a name which surprisingly will also be the title of his second album to be released in June this year.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Desperate\u2019 hit maker, who sparked during a show in Zomba on Saturday, said he was happy that he was making positive strides in his music career.<\/p>\n
The University of Malawi graduate also revealed that he will release a single \u2018Mdidi\u2019 off the new album on May 8, 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cMdidi is a symbol of dominance and we are talking about \u2018Mdidi\u2019 because we see ourselves to have risen beyond all negativity to impact the society at a higher level,\u201d said the singer.<\/p>\n
He added:<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we walk with loud thundery footsteps (Mdidi). And this is why the band name is Mdidi and the new album title is Mdidi<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n He said the several tours he has made outside the country have helped transform his music such that people will see something different in his latest album.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were gaps in my first album Desperate but I have put some things right in the second album and I am optimistic people will love the new songs.<\/p>\n I am still learning but I am happy we are clicking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Faith\u2019s star performance in Zomba won him the hearts of many people including Belgium music teacher and performer Johan Vanhoutte, who only said \u2018Faith was something else.\u2019<\/p>\n The singer said he has so far done more than 12 songs and that he was only remaining with mixing and mastering.<\/p>\n He said that Crystalline Media, a Kenyan media firm will work on mixing and mastering his new album.<\/p>\n \u201cThe addition of other instruments will also be done by some Kenyan artists, who I made connections with while on tour in Nairobi last year, \u201che said.<\/p>\n Faith also said people should watch the space as the new album will have collaborations with other foreign artists including Brazilian guitarist Ananda Mirranda.<\/p>\n He said just to show that he was up with something, he has decided to release the audio and music video of \u2018Mdidi\u2019 to be distributed for free on May 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renowned singer and guitarist Faith Mussa has established his own band known as Mdidi, a name which surprisingly will also be the title of his second album to be released in June this year.
