UNITED Kingdom-based sungura group, Kambo Boys, have released a catchy music video titled Sweet Larissa to mark their entry into the music circuit ahead of the release of their debut album later this month.
The outfit is made up of Tony Nembaware, Simba Mapfudze and Nigel Fungai.
Nembaware told NewsDay that the band name, Kambo, was derived from Swahili, meaning “song” to reflect the African feel of their music.
The forthcoming album was recorded and produced by legendary instrumentalist and producer, Clive Mono Mukundu and some of the recording was done at Hator Bros Entertainment Studios Ray B Studios, and Kambo Studios.
The music trio is inspired by legends like Oliver Mtukudzi, Aleck Macheso, Khiama Boys as well as Sulumani Chimbetu and Jah Prayzah.
“Like social commentators, we write about what happens in day to day lives of people, drawing inspiration from such experiences our music covers themes from love, motivation, corruption and even Diaspora life,” Nembaware said.
The group has previously been nominated for two Zimbabwe music and arts awards for their ground breaking single, Melo, which was
