Gospel musician the Reverend Chimwemwe Mhango has released his 13th album Yahweh.

“I’m so grateful to announce the release of this after six years of silence. I have put more efforts and dedication to the album and I am optimistic that it will inspire many souls”, he said.

Mhango said the break was to reflect on his work and prepare a new product relevant to his fans.

“My silence was due to busy schedules because I was studying and planning to re-launch my music career with a new compilation,” he said.

Three songs of the album namely the title track Yahweh, Pobwera Yesu and Banja have already hit the airwaves. The songs have a blend of traditional genre, but Mhango says: “I have maintained my identity”.

Lulu described the album as a demonstration of maturity, saying it is a collection that will inspire more.

“He has shown growth and maturity. I am happy that his silence has paid-off,” he says.

Yahweh has songs such as Nkhwiza, Alemekezeke, Chiuta Nkhutemwa, Pobwera Yesu, Patsogolo and Lonjezo la Mulungu.

Mhango was a member of his disbanded Mhango Salvation Singers which became a household name in the late 1980s. His popular albums are Titemwanenge, Chokochoko, Chimwemwe, Linga Langa, Khalidwe and Dziko.
