MZUZU-(Maravi Post)-The Twenty three old local female musician,Keturah intends to embark on serious projects this year that will propel her to greater hearts in the country’s music stage.
The Afro Jazz artist said among other things she will be making collaboration with American Saxophonists, Luis Alas.
“I have more projects coming this year by the grace of God. I will be for example releasing a new song titled ‘Her Fate’ which is collaborated with an American great saxophonist Luis Alas.
The artist whose real name is Keturah Milimo said she uses the style of local jazz music in order to make it easier for everyone to understand her message clearly.
“Am that kind of a person who respects music more when it comes to message. My central focus is to bring change on one’s life and the society,” says Keturah.
“I grew up watching and listening to my uncle who was a great guitarist as well as a musician too,” adds Keturah.
The artist who has already released songs like ‘Moyo Uno’, ‘Lilly’ among others said she hopes with the collaboration with Alas, she will be able to break through in her wish for recognition in the music industry.
“I release songs every year and my first song was released three years ago called ‘Moyo Uno’ produced by Gaffa, then followed the song ‘Lilly’ produced by Sispence, ‘Munditengeleko and Nyimbo produced OBK.
“The song ‘Munditengeleko is my favorite song because it reveals the talents that people have but it is not recognized. In fact, I fell in love with the song”.
Mikozi Network Movement Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bright Chiligo says Keturah is a hybrid of Malawian traditional music as she is one of the rare artists that are able to make local music adapt to the modern touch.
“She was the most outstanding new artist in the month of February on Mikozi network.
“With the rate of progress Keturah is making, the future is really bright for her if she keeps up going with a right direction,” says Chiligo.
He further said the love she is receiving from the Mikozi Community is just so overwhelming. She has a voice suitable for both corporate events and ordinary music events.
“With time, mark my words when I stress Keturah will not only be the biggest female music brand in Malawi but will also make international feel as Zahara and artists of the same nature.
“My compliment for her music but address all corporate entities and NGO’s that require to efficiently target their audience to use growing brands like Keturah,” says Chiligo.
