I used to perform in a choir at Full Gospel Church in Chilobwe, Blantyre. Actually, I started, together with late Grace Chinga,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mang\u2019anda said they went on to, establish their own choir before she went solo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a long journey working on the third album and this is because of inadequate funds,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-track album was recorded at Groove Magic Studios in Blantyre by Joseph Tembo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message in the album is basically about encouraging people to remain faithful but also to encourage those who have lost hope to look up to God,\u201d Mang\u2019anda said.<\/p>\n<p>She said as, she was not there to entertain only but also minister the word of God.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am ministering the word of God through music but, again, that does not entail that I should compromise on the quality of music. I have worked hard and that is why I have used an experienced producer,\u201d Mang\u2019anda said.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the songs in the third album are \u2018Thanthwe\u2019, \u2018Nenani Zikomo\u2019, \u2018Yehova Sagona\u2019, \u2018Ndiri Ndi Mantha\u2019, \u2018Wakwiyiranji Kaini\u2019 and \u2018Yamba Ndiwe\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Mang\u2019anda also said she has finalised the DVD for the third album, adding that she will have a double launch of a CD and DVD.<\/p>\n<p>Her previous albums are <em>Ndaomboledwa <\/em>and <em>Eloi<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gospel singer Phalyce Malick Mang\u2019anda is gearing up for her third album Mangani Malamba launch, to be held at Robins Park in Blantyre on November 5.
