Anna Mwale. The name Anna Mwale may not ring a bell in the minds of many youths of today. But if you ask any old music lover, they would probably jump in excitement wanting to hear the next thing said about her. Anna is one of Zambia's most accomplished musicians who has been in self-imposed exile for the last 20 plus years. Having gained credit as being One of Zambia's most famous music exports, Anna Mwale left the country in the 80s and has spent most of her time since then in Germany and the UK, performing and releasing all over the world. African Song was her breakthrough and biggest album, with east and southern African vibes made more palatable for European audiences by slick synths, funky basslines and some Caribbean influences. At worst cheesy and overproduced, but with solid tracks like 'Kabuku Langa', 'Magic Sound' and a fun cover of the old classic 'Pata Pata', written by Dorothy Masuka and made famous by Miriam Makeba. In an interview in 2009,she tells of how 'Excuse Me' became an overnight hit in Spain and later east Africa, and how she lost most of her earnings in later years. Lyrics to Exe cuse me Wamukazi waya!
