Amayenge lead guitarist, Matthews Mulenga, has died. Mulenga, who had been with the band for 18 years, died on Sunday after an illness. Band manager Fraser Chilembo confirmed Mulenga’s death in an interview.
“He has been with the band since 1997 and it is a huge loss for us. He was part of the family, we have lost a brother,” said Chilembo.
