Billy Kaunda lights up Mibawa stage
Renowned musician Billy Kaunda on Saturday night reminded music lovers that experience is a good teacher when he returned to Mibawa Multipurpose Hall to perform some of his popular hits during the Mibawa Night Live programme.
Spotting a caftan and smiling throughout, Kaunda wasted no time after greeting patrons and went straight to business.
Supported by his long time music colleague Captain Kelly, Kaunda was in great form and composed.
Some of the songs he performed included Dziko Loyipa, Mawu Angawa, Bola Moyo, Sizimukondweretsa, Muyime Kaye, Ndine Mbuli, Mtundu wanga, Mukanafuna, Mwapinduranji, Musalire, Zachabechabe and many others.
But it was when he performed Mwapinduranji that patrons went wild as they sang along, screaming in appreciation.
Kaunda’s set was the epitome of perfection as they performed one song after another without challenges. Only at one time when he noticed a sound distortion did Kaunda stop performing and asked the sound engineer to improve the situation.
“Something is not right. Some sound distortion this side. Can we have our engineers take a look?,” he said before taking a small break.
In random post-performance interviews, patrons expressed satisfaction with Kaunda’s performance.
Said Gift James: “Billy Kaunda’s set is never boring. It is clear that he rehearses with his band. I am happy.”
Another patron who identified himself as Dennis said: “This is what a live performance looks like. Great stuff.” The performance was sponsored by WS Bet.
