Zambian Gospel Music - Butemwe Singers - Butemwe Singers Vol 1 - Full album (1979)

Please comment, like & subscribe. The Butemwe Singers bring this male only gospel album from 1979. This is the group's first album. I have two copies of this one. My original copy was in terrible shape and I hoped to get a much nicer copy. Unfortunately, I got this copy instead, which is at least fairly listenable. The Butemwe Singers are a Zambian Gospel singing group associated with Mikomfwa Baptist Church in Luanshya, a city in the Copperbelt Region of Zambia. The exact origin of the Butemwe Singers is unavailable, but they first began releasing music via the Teal Records label Songs Of Praise in 1979, with additional singles and albums in the following decades. Their music features a mix of Acapella singing and light instrumentation. The Butemwe Singers have been in continuous existence since before 1979, with numerous changes to membership over the years. The group remained active as of 2025. They are often included, along with Malaila Singers as among Zambia's greatest gospel choirs of the 1980's. As of 2026, one original member, Sydney Sichande is still active with the group. Know anything about the artist? Comment below!
