The Dembos came onto the scene when most music lovers had agreed their father had died with his music.
Their mischief did not do them any good as the elder of the two Morgan was constantly in the limelight for the wrong reasons.
But promoters kept spurring them on until they managed to release their debut Kutsika Matsimba last year.

The venue, Jazz 105, previously out of bounds for many musicians, has offered numerous artistes a chance to get into the mainstream, Jah Prayzah included.
Although it has somewhat cheapened the venue as a prime spot, it has given a new breath of life to an industry that has been ailing from different ills like piracy and poor music sales.
