Late legendary Zambian musician Peter Kalumba Chishala famously known as PK who died 23 years ago was over the weekend remembered and honoured through a special ceremony which included the unveiling of a tombstone in Chingola.
The honor mainly coordinated by Luapula Province administration led by minister Nickson Chilangwa was in line with the provincial efforts to celebrate its heroes and promote the Luapula Province Expo.
The team also honoured another great late musician from Luapula, Nashil Pichen Kazembe.
Peter Kalumba Chishala was a prominent Zambian musician. He and the Great Pekachi Band were among bands leading the first wave of kalindula music along with Junior Mulemena Boys, and the Masasu Band. His protest songs include “Common Man” from the fourth album Umwaume walutuku.
His music remains a huge motivating force to the current crop of Zambian musicians.
