This is why I am out with a DVD and also studying theology because I believe that is what I was called to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The gospel singer, who has been involved in controversies in the past years, said his absence on the music scene was all about soul searching and upgrading.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of changes in music these days; it\u2019s tough out there for one to distribute music. In the past years we were relying on OG Issa but now it\u2019s a different story so I was trying to look at proper ways of distribution,\u201d said Sambo.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that he has new equipment which has armed him to finally put on the ground his DVD which opens up the way as he is also working on a new album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to say much but I am recording new songs in Zambia and Malawi. I am working with producers like Joseph Tembo and Yesaya Nkhwazi and I promise people that I will be producing an album every year,\u201d said the <em>Ndife Nyali, <\/em>star.<\/p>\n<p>Sambo also said that he has put up a label known as Legendary Music which is based in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this label I will also be promoting fellow artists and it is called legendary because I am looking at working with legends. At the moment I am trying to work with Billy Kaunda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sambo said the DVD which has eight songs is titled <em>Peter Sambo, the man and the music <\/em>and that it is a compilation of songs from all his albums as well as interviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been working on this DVD for two years. I shot it in Botswana and Malawi. Apart from music, its full of interviews, telling people, who I am. Through this DVD I am coming face to face with the people and answering all the questions which they have always asked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sambo said the DVD will be out on the market on Monday and that it will be selling only at World Alive and Calvary Family Church in Blantyre, Crossroads BP Filling Station in Lilongwe and Katoto BP Filling Station in Mzuzu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have done this deliberately because I am trying to curb piracy and at the same time I want people to get an original copy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The artist said he will be holding shows but not frequently with his comeback concert in November set to feature two gospel acts \u2013 one from Botswana and another from South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Sambo has four albums namely <em>Pa Calvary <\/em>(2002), <em>Tachilowa Chaka China <\/em>(2004), <em>Ndife Nyali <\/em>(2009) and <em>Monga Mufunira <\/em>(2012).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gifted gospel singer Peter Sambo has received criticism from people for lacking seriousness in propelling his music career.
