Chris Chali, known for his ability to blend all 73 Zambian tribal influences into a single, unified sound, once again showcases why Amayenge remains one of Zambia’s most revered bands.
With poetic lyricism and a melody that stays with you, Mao is a reminder of Amayenge’s unparalleled ability to turn folk wisdom into danceable, soul-stirring music. Even years after Chali’s passing, the song continues to keep his legacy alive, proving that true Kalindula never fades.
