.Pompi

By JOWIT SALUSEKI –

AWARD-winning gospel artiste Chaka Nyathando better known in the music circles as Pompi is this November set to release his latest studio project titled Broken English.
Pompi, who started as a secular rapper, got born again and started praising God through his talent in music tells DStv Entertainment that the album is 50 per cent done and he is just perfecting it before hitting the market.
The 27-year-old’s latest offing comes a year after releasing Mizu, which had collections such as Giant killer, Make up, Tule Shani and Kakambidwe.
What really stood out on his previous album was the production. It was fresh, original and does not sound like your average Zambian music (which all seem to have a similar baseline).
The Production of the Mizu album was handled by Magnus Mando and Sam Chintu of I & M Sounds. The lyrical content on the album is awesome.
All the songs had a great message, while not being ‘traditional’ gospel songs; he shares the word of God through story telling of different situations.
A good example is Refuge, one of the tracks lifted from the Mizu project, in which the husband is telling the wife how he is not able to support her financially.
The only down side to the project was a track titled Empty Thrones, where the tall and slim singer, featured fellow gospel crooner in Tio, who sounded lost and unmatched in the song.
Whoever he chooses to feature on the new project this time round, Pompi’s fans will be anticipating a much more improved studio collection from the Nzelu singer who commands quite a reasonable following from a cross section of society.
A graduate of business systems from Monash University, Pompi was one of the local artistes who shared the stage in music performance at the Stanbic Bank Misty Jazz festival, which was held at Levy Mall last weekend.
