In todays' Hmetro an article on our music journey and FREE concert tomorrow 2 July 2016 at Zimbabwe College of Music from 2pm to 6pm. See you tomorrow!!



Saturday 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.
