Sonye: Kwacha Single

Written by Timve Magazine on December 15, 2011. Posted in Entertainment

After a successful run in 2011 with songs such as ‘Tabwela’ and ‘Ukadutsa’, Timve Media and Baseline Studios are proud to present the first single from Sonye titled ‘Kwacha’.

Kwacha is an Afro-spiced celebratory song that talks of having fun and not worrying about the troubles of this world, and is a perfect tonic for this festive season when people are about to celebrate Christmas.

The song is taken off the upcoming compilation ‘Baseline Mixdown 2011’ slated for release in January 2012.

The compilation, which is in its second installment, is a celebration of Afro-urban music and features an array of over 17 urban musicians that include Maskal, Sonye, Tay Grin, Barry One, Third Eye, Rina and Dare Devils.

The album on the one hand serves to introduce talented new acts in the likes of dancehall renegades Nepman, Black Thunder and silky-voiced Callista.

The compilation has been assembled in celebration of unity (umodzi) and is usually given out for free and is also available online for free download.

Sonye is writer, singer, producer and a Malawi Music Award winner, who released his debut album ‘Break Point’ in July, 2011 which had hit singles such as ‘Tabwela’ and ‘Ukadutsa’ which became regulars on radio as well as the just ended Big Brother Africa. The 21-year-old has gone on national tours with Sprite and has performed in front of the country’s First Lady Calista Mutharika.

In recognition of his talent an appeal, Sonye has been chosen as an ambassador for the British Council-sponsored Climate Change initiative GO GREEN.

Thank you very much… there is actually a myriad of responses to the article all over the internet. They range from the economic difficulties of developing ideas into products to the one where a guy calls us to realize that Walter is a fictional character and is simply a tool for the writer.

For the sake of being original as well as avoiding speaking on matters for which people such as yourself are probably well versed in. I decided to tackle the issue of Africa’s “attitude” towards criticism, ourself and others in general. I did not touch on the “African Intellectuals in the west” except by alluding to the fact that may be they are “recreational martial artists”.

In truth there are no simple answers even answers such as your “doing and being practical” and my “Africa must love itself more” are multi-layered and complex on closer inspection, not to mention they are also interrelated. However I am not one to shun wisdom when it is offered, you seem to have some insight on the “African intellectuals in the west” would love to hear it, unless this is just an arm chair critic thing on your part?
