Zambia Ku Chalo: Part two
DJ Edu meets young stars making exciting new sounds in Zambia's Copperbelt province, including Chanda na Kay and Xaven.
Zambian music industry insiders are saying that the Copperbelt province is producing some of the most talented and innovative young artists, and the most distinctively Zambian sounds.
In the second of three special editions from Zambia, DJ Edu meets Copperbelt artists Chanda na Kay and Xaven.
The Copperbelt sound blends Bemba drum patterns with Afrobeats, Amapiano and other imported genres. It is an energising and highly danceable sound, characterised by chants in local slang, and goes hand in hand with dance moves that often go viral.
The sound is extremely popular in Zambia, but can it go global? That is one of the questions DJ Edu asks.
He also catches up with Zambian giants Chef 187, Pompi and Magg 44, and manages to coax two of them into spontaneous performances!
