Musician San Bennet Msokera, commonly known as San B, has broken a record on Malawi\u2019s Top 20 chart on Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) Radio 2 with his song \u2018Nsanje\u2019 being on position one for seven weeks.
\nThe Radio 2 FM\u2019s musical programme which has been there for some time airs strictly songs by Malawian artists.
\nMBC Radio 2 FM Chief Producer and presenter Frank Kandu confirmed yesterday that \u2018Nsanje\u2019 did well on the top 20 chart staying on position one for seven weeks.
\n\u201cThis has never happened since the programme started for a song to stay on position one for seven weeks. In most cases, songs stay for four or five weeks on position one,\u201d Kandu said.
\nHe said it was quiet strange that the song became so popular and that it was also demanded by people during other programmes.
\n\u201cI think the song has a mature message among other attributes and that is why people have fallen in love with it,\u201d Kandu said.
\nHe said Malawi\u2019s Top 20 chart is there to give a platform to artists in the country to showcase their talent but was quick to point out that they should strive to produce good music.
\nSan B said he was humbled that \u2018Nsanje\u2019 has managed to make history for him on Malawi\u2019s Top 20 chart.
\n\u201cWhen you have your song dominating such a platform it gives you that smile on your face and tells you that you are doing a good work. I would therefore like to thank people for the support,\u201d San B said.
\n\u2018Nsanje\u2019 is a song in which the Honjo star talks about giving as part of society building and observes that a lot of people are not in this and instead are envious and jealousy.
\n\u201cIt is good to encourage each other and support each other which is part of society building but to others this does not hold. Some people have enough but they would rather keep it and see someone suffer,\u201d he said.
\nSan B, who started with secular before turning gospel, said with the music industry changing and urban music dominating, he was trying to create his own space and brand in order to stand out.
\n\u201cThere is so much I am doing but I am not rushing myself. I am taking my own pace to get to the destination. 2018 people should look forward to another single which will be on the market in July,\u201d he said.
\nSan B recently released another song titled \u2018Amen\u2019.
\nThe musician has done collaborations, working with other artists.
\nSan B collaborated with \u2018Nalelo,\u2019 star Nepman and Hyphen formerly Young Kay in the song \u2018Chauta Wamphamvu\u2019 which was originally done by late Evison Matafale.
\nThe musician has seven albums to his credit and they are Nkhutukumve, Sweet Poem, 371, No Private Life, Fruit of 66, Healing Angels and Acceptability<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
