Lilongwe, February 17, Mana: Legendary Afro Pop/R&B singer Maskal has teamed up with contemporary singer-songwriter Eli Njuchi to dish out a sizzling love song titled “Chonchi”, which hit the airwaves on Valentine’s Day.

The track, produced, recorded and mastered by Tricky Beatz, got the two powerful vocalists and songwriters riding on a phenomenon love journey marveling their better halves.

It is the first time for the two artists to collaborate on a song and “Chonchi” is nothing but a phenomenal piece of art that brings together multi award-winning musicians of two different generations.

“I have several projects lined up. We recorded the song the time I was back home and this was the perfect time to share it with our fans being the month of love.

“Eli is a gifted young musician, someone I said I must work with the very moment I heard his music and everything just fell into place the moment we met in the studio and Tricky Beatz played us the beat, it was incredible.”

21-year-old Njuchi shares how it was working with Maskal, an artist who came into the limelight when the “Zitaye” star was only seven years old.

“It was an amazing experience, grew up listening to his music and in so many ways shaped so much in my music too. Being on a song with him, it was humbling and a great step for the New Year.

“It was a great musical connection that was around us when we met to work on the song, it was very easy to allow music to take over. Everyone was at their best, the environment enabled us to really jump on it.”

The song “Chonchi” is available on radio and online platforms among them Spotify and YouTube.
