Charles Charamba

Harare Bureau
Pastor Charles Charamba has defended his latest album WeNazareta saying it has opened avenues for him on the international market.
The album which was released in August has been described as substandard with some critics suggesting that the Charambas could have done better considering the time they took to release new product. Charamba sings together with wife Olivia.

The musician who took close to four years without releasing new material said his album was now on Sony Catalogue International in South Africa and iTunes among other international platforms.

“These are some of the platforms our album is now found, but since I started my career as a musician I have failed to make a breakthrough on the international market,” he said.

“We have for years pleased our fans at home and abroad, but our music has not been found on these important platforms,” he said.

The Machira Chete hit-maker said he would not take long to release his next album as the songs are already there.

The musician will be heading to Victoria Falls this weekend as part of a national tour to promote his latest offering. Tomorrow he will be performing at the Chinotimba Stadium before proceeding to Binga for a debut performance at DDF Harbour.

Charamba and wife are both pastors with theological training, something which enhances their understanding of the Scripture. The couple has released popular albums like Johanne 3:16, Vhuserere, Amen, Daily Bread, Exodus, Sunday Service and Verses and Chapters.

They have toured the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia and have shared the stage with the likes of Solly Mahlangu, Sipho Makhabane, and Ron Kenolly, among others.
