I have this for my father now. He taught me this music but without translation. Can you please do it for all these songs from this album. Love from zimbabwe south africa
Whenever I listen to "Kwilamba Ekwesu" music, I get reminded of my former workmates, John Jairos Nyangu Phiri, Frank Kolala Chipulu, Emmanuel Mwaba, late Matthew Kachali (MHSRIEP), late John Nkhoma (MHSRIEP), Ronnie Romero and Orlie Bermudez ( both from the Philippines 🇵🇭) and many more in the Geological Drawing Office (Room 10) at the then Central Offices of the Nkana Division of former Z.C.C.M. Ltd. Ooh!! What a great time we had together ❤. I really miss you gentlemen. May The Almighty God be with you and bless you all wherever you may be by now. Thank you.
When I listen to these songs my third born daughter asks why i like kalindula instead of yo maps or Chile 1 songs,i tell her that they will come a time when yo maps songs will be old and your children will be asking you why you listen to that old music
Kwilamba e kwesu - Our land Lambaland nakufuli imfumu - has many chiefs Lists the names of chief by name Exhorts his tribes men to grow more food to get rid of poverty Then say I am now full, so let me dance Mention different types of dances which are found in the area - Manchancha, Shonongo, Kaonge e.t.c The alarm sound is the portion you dance as if there are no bones in your body - B
I cannot understand the language but with interpretation it really make sense , I used to listen to this kind of music long ago when I was teenager boy. Im a proud african
this song reminds me about my mum who grow up in Zambia - Lusaka , come back in Namibia before independence and i was born . i then also followed in her foot step back to Zambia - Sesheke [macrop] close ku Bakandandu took early school classes in Zambia relocated back to Namibia [caprivi] ... i was unfortunately that i only learned to speak silozi................. my mum was having a omega playing with big cd (matapa) playing this Zambian legend old songs and she will translate the meaning of what they are sing in the song ,, sometime at last i would see her crieng remembering the past and what the future hold tell me.. i totally fall in love with songs ... even in my car i only play old music
simataa mario I just want to remind you that your comment is still fresh. You have said it all. Same to my mum, she loved the mulemena songs, real substance of these songs when mum gave me its meaning.
You also forgot to say that it was during this period that HIV/AIDS was killing our relatives and friends seriously threatening to decimate this generation. There were no life saving drugs like ARVs.
❤ Wow! Bringings back a bunch of recollections. The sole surviving member of this renown group galavants/swingings by Town center with a guitar. You give him money,he plays & sings for you.
I was doing standard 5 at Ngweze primary at Katima Mulilo and I used to dance to this song over weekends especially when I visited my auntie at Lisikili. The likes of Vincent Mushitu and Sabino Solo entertained us during weekends at the town. The Zambians music taught us how to us how to shack our waists, steps and movement in original rumba dance.
It takes me back to the time my mother worked in the rich neighbourhood, she was a checkout lady. It’s a nostalgic moment listening to this music as it reminds me of all the memories that may have inadvertently occupy the back seat.
This song reminds me my best mum when she bought us a ka radio casete one speak, We used to tie up mukame sweta in the whist we used to dance like no man's business with my siblings .
Reminds of my cousin Mr kanta & the cruew who used to play this music in the 80's when I was just a kid. Kosapo tavern was the in thing for them in Mikomfwa Luanshya
When ever i play this song while far from mum, I she'd tears as it makes me remember mum dancing to mulemena boys, the songs hold so many memories, though she is Namibian now we still listen to the best songs, # proudly Zambian
Those beautiful days when tarvens and bars were order of the day, heading to kitwe breweries to buy bulk chibuku beer in drums sealed with plastic and rubber bands called hijab.and the jams in the van were awesome 👍😎
Beautiful songs from the good old past. These songs remind me of the beautiful past when the world was a far much better place than the shithole it is today.
I once mentioned that Lamba is so similar to Bemba especially that Bembas and Lambas all came from the Luba-Lunda Kingdom of present day Congo DRC. I was insulted by most Lambas and I didn't understand why... Later came to realize that they feel the Bembas took over Copperbelt from them and imposed the Bemba language. Mine was a very honest observation based on what I understand from Lamba. This song is just an example. I understand everything from this song but I am Bemba
kwi lamba ekwesu......... dont know what it says but dad would play it on the gold star tape (90 minutes). if it snapped or get caught in a cassette player we would carefully rejoin it with celloptape. Them days dey.
Simply a hit in the 21st Century though was composed and produced in 1980s. Singing about the chiefs of the lambaland in the Copperbelt province of Zambia where Lamba language is spoken.
Someone there....please post Emmanuel Mulemena's 'Mary'. It reminds me of an couple I used to stay with in Kabwata when I was a little boy. The hubby would always play it when his wife threatened to 'pack and go'
Kwilamba ekwesu......(Lamba is our land)
Nakokuli imfumu..... (And has chiefs )
Chief Lesa, Chief Ndubeni,Chief Machiya, Chief Chigola, Chief Nkana, Chief Kalilele, Chief Mushili,all these are Chiefs.
Mwebabyanji impinji yafika yakulima......(My fellows,time to cultivate has come).
Ababyesu mu Zambia bonse balishibwike..... (Our fellow Zambians are awake)
Nomba fwebo ichindo ichitupampishe..... (What is it that has made us not to be active)
Twikatane bonse kuno kwesu kwilamba...... (Let us all unite in our lamba land)
Buka wetata buka wemayo...(Wake up Father, wake up mother)
Buka wenkwasu buka wenkashi yandi .....(Wake up dear , Wake up my sister)
Ukulima kuweme kumonamo uluboni.....( Cultivating is good, from there we realise money)
Impinji nomba yafika twende fwense mukulima...(The time has now come let us all go to cultivate)
Nomba njikwite nshaneko nakaonge....(Now that I have eaten and am full,let me dance)
Nshaneko manchancha nshanine ba nkana....(I will dance Manchancha for Chief Nkana)
Nshaneko shonongo nshanine bandubeni...( Will dance shonongo for Chief Ndubeni)
Nshaneko akaonge nshanine ba mushili....(I will dance akaonge for for Chief Mushili)

It makes me proud for having grown up in Zambia during the liberation war in Zimbabwe.

The likes of Vincent Mushitu and Sabino Solo entertained us during weekends at the town. The Zambians music taught us how to us how to shack our waists, steps and movement in original rumba dance.
