Yvonne Mwale to release her debut studio album on March 2
The powerhouse behind Mzungu Kichaa, Caravan Records, is proud to announce its first official release in 2012 ! The label has signed the talented award winning songstress Yvonne Mwale. Originally from Zambia Yvonne won Best Upcoming Artist at the Zambian Music awards in 2009 and went on to tour 8 countries in Europe in 2010. In 2011 she came to Dar es Salaam to perform and was spotted by Mzungu Kichaa who encouraged her to stay on to record her debut solo album KALAMATILA. Her performances on stage have been very well received in the capital of Dar es Salaam. The album has 11 songs. She sings in English, Senga, Swahili and Scat, a non-lingual form of singing popular in jazz and reggae. Yvonne’s voice can best be described as an African version of Billie Holiday.
