It’s so sad that he became very ill in recent years. Above all, his song “Ayite sungu” became one of my absolute favourites in recent times, as it reminds me of the 90s and my late relatives. Now the songwriter himself has passed away.
RIP, artist.

I will never forget the run he made towards the goal from 13:45 min



I just regret that there’s no footage of Victoria’s famous concert at the Stade de Kenya in Lubumbashi (1983), where he did it for the first time and then went on to do it at every concert



from 30:17 min

When they performed in Japan, he did it there as well and jumped into the crowd. He got hurt, because of people walking away. But he came back to the stage dancing like nothing happened. However, looking how he walked on stage before doing the moves made it look that he had still pain. Emeneya then looked at him to check if he was okay while singing ‘Pesa-Pesa.’ Malembe Chante removed his glasses and kept dancing, you could see from his facial expressions that he was in serious pain, but he had no other choice. Meanwhile, the late Maneno on the drums was laughing. The incident made me think about what Jordan Kusa once said, that he tried to jump into a crowd during a performance of Quartier Latin in Switserland, but people mocing away, leaving him seriously hurt and him crying backstage.



Malembe Chant's first song in Victoria Eleison (1984). I'm looking for Malembe's solo-album that he recorded when he was in Minzoto Wella-Wella, but it's extremly rare. There are people who didn't like him, saying that the songs he recorded within Victoria Eleison weren't suited to Victoria's style and more that of Minzoto.



I saw that JF Ifonge posted about Malembe Chant. I don’t like the way he makes videos when artists pass away, acting as if Christians never get ill and as if he holds the keys to the gates of heaven.
