Musician Annie Matumbi real name Chiyanjano Muhenzuwa has said he is saddened by the death of musician and producer Nelson Kasache.<\/p>\n
Late Kasache died on Monday at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe after a short illness.<\/p>\n
Matumbi popularly known as Nyakwawa in the music circles described late Kasache as talented saying he was very creative.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not saying this because he is dead but he was a very good friend. Many people only knew him as a musician but he was also a producer. I worked with him in several projects and he actually guided me on how to go about with some songs,\u201d said Matumbi.<\/p>\n
The Lilongwe based artist, who prides in the trade as the \u2018King of Dancehall,\u2019 said he still remembers the song \u2018Timakhala ku Blantyre,\u2019 which he did with late Kasache where they were responding to Peter Mawanga\u2019s track \u2018Amakhala ku Blantyre.\u2019<\/p>\n
In \u2018Amakhala ku Blantyre,\u2019 Mawanga\u2019s sings of the hard life that people experience in the commercial city of Blantyre further saying that one can hardly experience good life without having enough money.<\/p>\n
However, late Kasache and Matumbi responded to the song saying they live a better life in the commercial city.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the song that put late Kasache in the limelight. We were not trying to fight the artist who did the original song but we just want to do art for the sake of art hence responding to what he said in the song. We just sat down and when I told him the concept he agreed and there we were with the song,\u201d explained Matumbi.<\/p>\n
He said the song impressed many Malawians and enjoyed massive airplay for a short period before it was stopped by the Copyright Society of Malawi (Cosoma).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was not the only song I worked with; there are other songs as well. This is why I am saying he was talented. It\u2019s been time since we spoke but we used to interact through the social media and to receive news of his death is shocking. I will miss him, may his soul rest in peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to his brother Ellard, late Nelson Kasache will be buried tomorrow at his home in the area of Traditional Authority Nchiramwera in Thyolo.<\/p>\n
He said late Nelson Kasache was born on 22nd September, 1983.<\/p>\n
He worked with several musicians in the country and released close to five albums including Senior Bachelor<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was our pillar as a family. We are helpless with his death. Only God knows why it had to happen,\u201d said Ellard revealing that his late brother was on the verge of releasing a gospel album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Musician Annie Matumbi real name Chiyanjano Muhenzuwa has said he is saddened by the death of musician and producer Nelson Kasache.
