Peter Juma & Fire Family Band - Mwapola Namishanga - Full Zambian Single

Zambian music records posted Tuesdays and Fridays. From Peter Totsi Juma the friend and bandmate to Nashil Pichen Kazembe comes this single record with two songs, featuring Juma and the Fire Family Band. Peter Juma was popular enough that Teal gave him his own record label. The record is a little worn, especially on side B, but the music shines through. Peter Tsotsi Juma (1932 – 2000), born Peter Juma was a Zambian songwriter, singer and musician. Interested in music at a young age, Juma traveled to Tanzania in 1949 in order to pursue a career in music. Juma eventually moved to Kenya to pursue further music opportunities and there met Nashil Pichen Kazembe. Together, they formed the Congo River Kids Band and later the influential The Eagles Lupopo. Juna later returned to Zambia around 1980. In 1981 he signed a record contract with Teal for whom he produced a number of singles through the 1980's. Like many Zambian artists, the 1990's saw the end of his career with the wane of the Zambian music industry. He passed away from complications of Malaria in Kabwe, Zambia in 2000.
