also be able to sing their own songs, since the premier of the competition in
2006.
Major
highlight of the night will be the Epiq BSS winner, Walter Chillambo, who will
be releasing his song after being eagerly anticipated by music fans since the
end of the competition in November last year.
While
some artists’ have already released their songs and they are doing well, like
Menina’s Dream tonight, Muongo of Nsami, Wababa’s My Wife and Husna Nawamimina,
the tour is expected to rock music industry.
Speaking
during the launch, Senior Manager, Brand and Communication,Awaichi Mawalla said the aim of
the show is to build foundation for the youth after launching their career
during Epiq BSS.
‘Our
major aim for sponsoring Epiq BSS was not to give major prize for the winner,
but in the contrary, we wanted to transform the lives of these kids’ said Mawalla.
‘We
want to show people that with proper investment everything can be a success,
and for sure, these youngsters will be stars and hence be able to earn their
own lives’ insisted Mawalla.
On
their side, contestants expressed their delight for being included in the tour,
and thanked Zantel for helping them to record the songs, promotion and now this
tour.
‘Zantel
has shown great difference to other sponsors, because many companies have
always distanced themselves from anything shortly after the end of the show,
but Zantel has been with us since recording and now this tour, we are really
grateful’ said Nsami, one of Epiq BSS contestants.
