memories from Kitwe, in the 1986-1988s I was lecturing at ZIT ( Copperbelt University) as an expartriate from Uganda in Civil Engineering as a young man, had greatest memories in Chimweme townships with my friend teacher John Mbwofwana!

[@krismwape6714]

Good to hear that from someone like you, at that time I was living in neighbouring Mindolo Township and was in my junior secondary school at Kitwe Boys.. indeed those were nice and memorable days.

[@mwambadarius4413]

Who's still enjoying with me this master piece in 2023??🙌💢🔥🔥🇿🇲

[@scottkaluba6774]

John Mulemena is one the Zambian greatest musician of all time. Umwaume Wabufuba was recorded in their first ever LP Album Litande. This was recorded at DB Studios in 1987 and the Album hit the Zambian Air Waves like no man's business. Jessie Bwaluka on Bass Guiter, John Mulemena on Leader and vocals, Osward Mwelwa of Rythm and Brian Machila on Drums. Also on Vocals was Evaristo Bwalya.

[@invictu4488]

Brilliant song this one!!! 🕺🏿 This song is a constant reminder that heads of households should always look after those they've chosen as their spouses and the innocents they've brought into this world. Being a man of the house is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. 😅

[@ch1somo]

Thanks for the timely reminder 🙏

A good song is a good song! Be it reggae, sausa, kizomba, rumba, R'n'B etc. It is such songs that touch the core of my heart and just feel at peace at heart. This song sounds new every time I play it. Everything is simple but pure!

[@MegaDECEMBER25]

big up zambian sounds,, this is real one men,, with real meaning and message . really loving it right now

[@scottkaluba6774]

This is one of Zambian Bands at the time whose development was purely due to constant innovation due to high level calibre of band leader and composer John Mulemena. We shall surely not find one of his kind in a long time.

[@josephmulaliki6223]

For sure... these are legends. May their souls continue resting in peace...

[@estonsimfukwe6825]

This is real Zambian Music With real meaning. It is reaminding some of us those old days when in 30s.

[@johnlungu8694]

❤ my zambian music.

[@jlundofu]

Did anyone play banjos made out of cooking oil tins and spring wires. A plank would make the neck and other improvisations to come up with some sound. When introduced to the electric guitar, you just get louder, but keep the same simple arrangements. We only needed 4 strings to round out the sound, just listen and you agree that he is using only 4 strings for the Rythm.

[@acktruth]

I know this tune came out before I was born but it sounds like it was produced yesterday.. Mulemena is been my father's favorite, Good Music

[@kelvinchewe634]

Kalindula songs will be highly remembered in African continent

Brings back those old memories when we used to hold end of year parties. Interestingly, we used to have these annual celebrations in our banking halls. This was one of our favourite tracks. Indeed, this was a great band.

[@catherinechipongo3584]

Classic music, when I hear this kind of music how I miss home sweet home

[@scottkaluba6774]

So we can still revive this spirit if we continue to encourage these boys and also team up and see how we can support what we love most. MASASU WAIYA UMO AKAFWA - this was their Slogan at the inception. It changed to MASASU WAIYA WABA BAKALAMBA and finally to MASASU WAIYA WABAICE na BAKALAMBA BONSE.

[@davidmasumba6789]

Thanks, bro!

[@geoffreymumba5006]

That's the music of all times

[@scottkaluba6774]

The albulm tract numbers were as follows: Litande, John Mwana wanadi, Chilalelale, Masasu, Lesa Upawimazhala and the vidoe song Umwaume Wabufuba. Ladies and Gentlemen these were great days in Kitwe's Second Class Trading area at a famous bar "CITY BAR" where the great Masasu used to perform.

[@kennymulikitayengayenga4958]

I remember Mr Kaluba as true masasu band patron

[@mishecknkumbwa860]

And this album was their best!
