International Gospel artists Ephraim Mutalange alias ‘Son of Africa’, together with rib cracker Comedian Sinkala Brighton, producer / musician Shenky Shuga of the ‘Kontamako’ fame and UK based International Gospel singer Margaret Tandoh will grace Zambia’s 52nd Independence celebrations in London.
Speaking to Lusaka Times, Big 4 Rocks Events co-ordinator London-based Broadcaster Chela Katwishi, confirmed the artistes’ participation, saying the event has been dubbed as ‘Tiyende Pamodzi’ so as to play a major role in uniting Zambians after the just ended tense but peaceful elections in Zambia.
Chela revealed that Big 4 Rocks has decided to team up with The Goat Shirley, a Zambian pub and restaurant owned by Patson Ngoma, as way of giving the UK Zambian community the best in entertainment. The Goat Shirley’s Lucy Ngoma will provide sumptuous fresh dinner on the night, while the first 100 ladies will be treated to a free glass of wine.
He emphasised that, Big 4 team comprising, popular UK based Zamuk proprietor Ronnie Tembo, Sports Analyst Kondwani Gumboh, Former Napsa Professional Football player Stan Sikwese and Music guru Eddie Musonda, who is a former DJ of Hanif Adams’ Valentinos, Highlights, Moon city and Oasis came up with the idea as a follow-up to promoting peace and unity.
Chela added that this is also a follow – up to last year’s Big 4 donation of clothes to Zambia’s Buzz Café Club. Last year’s Big 4 donations were received by Buzz Café Representative Ambassador Frank Mutubila. The Café subsequently donated the clothes to a charity of their choice.
He also said that the artistes are expected to perform in London to a show which will see various UK based Zambian pastors in attendance, while London award winner DJ Blair Kami and DJ Andrew will be behind the decks coupled with loads of entertainment surprises such as the ‘Home Sweet Home’ fame led by UK based Music producer Brian Zimba.
Chela also confirmed that Ephraim, Sinkala & Shenky are scheduled to arrive in London from Zambia on Sunday 23rd October in readiness for the celebrations, disclosing that this year’s show will be held at the London Royal Regency Banquet on Friday 28th October.

Zambian embassies useless and very unhelpful when you need help abroad but are only good at one thing, organising independence parties.
