In a world where killing by the bullet has become common especially in Africa, there is need to speak out and stop the ‘Gun Culture’. This is exactly what young songstress Mwiza Zulu is trying to achieve in her latest single, ‘ Gun Culture’, a cover version of her artistic father’s song released 20 years ago.
With the recent shooting to death of two unarmed Zambian citizens that occurred on 23rd December, last year, and others that have happened before, Mwiza has risen above this challenge to put to a song a strong message to remind us of our need to stop the bloodshed.
Produced by Jerrys Fingers, the song has been instrumentally refined and make it more relevant to the modern day sound. This song has so far attracted great attention and following on various music platforms such as DJ Showstar.com.
It is a song confirming Mwiza’s conscious nature to modern day issues and her strong belief in youth activism. Follow her song on http://www.djshowstar.com/mwiza-zulu-gun-culture-prod-by-jerry-fingers/ and get inspired.
