Chalenam Rhythms is a seven piece band which plays Zimbabwean afro-gospel music with a wooden percussive instrument (Marimba) in a modern contemporary way, fused with the rattling sound of hosho (rattle) with a strong jazz influence and an inspired evangelistic message. The humorous assemblage comprises of various musical components such as bass guitar, acoustic guitar, drums, key boards and of course Zimbabwean percussion.

Event- We
are promising an exciting encouraging musical journey of Charles and Namatayi
Chipanga. This
is a day to Celebrate Chalenam Rhythms’ 5th anniversary. The band has people
who have their music careers spanning over 30yrs such as Never Mpofu(Chalenam
Bassist), Namatayi Chipanga(13years), Charles Chipanga (21yrs of professional
career) but after their departure from Tuku music, they have 5years together.
We have release 3 albums to date, Prayer Expose' 2011(Charles Chipanga), Grace
Moments 2013(Namatayi Chipanga), Goodness 2015(Charles Chipanga.
There
will be short interactive workshops on BRANDING, MARKETING, SONG
COMPOSITION,PRODUCTING,SOUND ENGINEERING,VOCAL TRAINING. Basically we will be
giving back for free the services people usually pay for when hiring us. How we
come up with a song, how we conduct rehearsal, how we market our songs, how a
song is composed, what music production is...all this is to add knowledge to
the young musicians who are being ushered into the main stream from College of
music, those in church choirs and those who wish to take music seriously. There
will also be a braai to make it a family fun day out…
The
journey has been a mixture of steep episodes and some flowing moments. We have
learnt to do things on our own, to write a song, practice it, record it, look
for ways to market it, promote your own show and be the main act on the very
show, so all this has been found in the past 5yrs. The experience we got while
working with other people has really helped us go through this smoothly.
