A well-renowned afro-R’n’B artist Don Kalonga real name Dickson Kalonga Thawani will on Friday, July 14 release a new single track titled Golide which aims at appreciating how love has changed people’s perceptions and appreciating the coming in of the love in someone’s life.
Kalonga said Golide is one of the songs which will be unique, original and it will promote cultural heritage since the power of love enhances culture.
“This song will promote cultural heritage more especially my Yao tribe, the song is appreciating the love in a positive way as something precious like gold and I will release another song in September which will dwell much on love and culture as well.
He added that people should expect good quality and should also expect an album which aimed at influencing culture and love as one way of avoiding the trend of copying Western music.
“As musicians, we need to work hand in hand in promoting our culture through music as we all know that nowadays many artists do not involve our Malawian music style so I have observed that music has the power of changing all these,” he said
Currently Kalonga is well known for a song titled ‘Male’ produced by DJ OK done by Wikise in which Don was featured and in 2018 he did a song with Dan ,Lufani titled ‘Wanna Mary You’ which almost reach 28k views on YouTube channel.
In an interview with Don Kalonga’s fan, Leah Mkwate said she is patiently expecting Golide to be one of the songs which will be a stress reliever since Kalonga is well known with giving Malawians special love music that uplift their souls.
“I’m begging Kalonga to be consistent in releasing the songs because his songs can easily promote music industry here in Malawi due to heavy message that he portrays in his music, I’m expecting good message in his newly yet to release song Golide,” said Mkwate.
In his remarks, one of the music promoters Thomas Madulira, who is also Thom’s Park Event Manager said Kalonga is one of the artists who is performing well in the Music industry but all he needs is support and promotion for him to merge.
“I have known Don Kalonga through his music some years back, to me his music has proved to be international scale but all he needs is to work on music promotion for his music to reach a wide range of people,” He said.
