Youthful musicians Faith Mussa and Sonyezo Kandoje, popularly known as Sonye, have once again come together to play a leading role in environmental protection by producing a theme song for Dzalanyama conservation.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time for the duo to work on songs on environmental protection programmes. Last year, they released a track titled \u2018Ndapeza Mbambande\u2019.<\/p>\n
The song promotes renewable energy and environmental friendly practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am happy to have worked on this song with my brother Sonye. We also did another song for cook stove and this current project has a related cause to Dzalanyama afforestation,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n
Faith said musicians have a huge role to play in disseminating awareness messages and bringing about change.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always been happy to be part of causes that are beneficial to our society. Issues of deforestation, global warming, are real and are affecting all of us. And, as a young person, I feel that I have to be in the forefront when it comes to such issues. So, yes, I feel good and motivated to do such projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The singer, who is set to perform at the Lake of Stars London on March 10, described the collaboration with Sonye as productive.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great combination. We have good working chemistry. I think he is one of the few people I have enjoyed working with. He is fast, versatile, and open minded like me. So, it\u2019s amazing. We have plans for bigger things,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n
Sonye also said it has been amazing working with Faith.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the second theme song that we have worked on. All two songs are about environmental awareness. It\u2019s such an honour to be selected by such organisations to be part of this awareness,\u201d Sonye said.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Lokolo\u2019 and \u2018Tsika\u2019 star said, last year, they worked as ambassadors for Mbaula, which was promoting safe cooking.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoing songs that have an impact on the society is such a great feeling and being a youth with a voice and using that power for a greater good is motivating. I hope we will inspire more up-and-coming artists to use their power for the good of society,\u201d Sonye said.<\/p>\n
The musician has since revealed that he will release a new EP titled Somewhere in Africa <\/em>this month.<\/p>\n A press statement from Dzalanyama Forest Reserve indicates that the song is ready, after being launched last month.<\/p>\n The statement observes that, in recent years, deforestation and degradation have reached alarming levels in Dzalanyama Forest Reserve.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a result, the capital, Lilongwe, is now in fear of losing its much-needed water, for Dzalanyama Forest Reserve serves as the water catchment area of Lilongwe River and other important rivers,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Youthful musicians Faith Mussa and Sonyezo Kandoje, popularly known as Sonye, have once again come together to play a leading role in environmental protection by producing a theme song for Dzalanyama conservation.
