A renowned local musician maestro, Deo Mwanambilimbi has advised his colleagues in the country to double their efforts as a way of achieving the expected results in life.
He says dance music is still at infancy stage in the country, despite efforts by some musicians.
“Dance music could play a key role in societal development, and offer healing through rhythms and insightful lyrics that educate about life in general.”
Mwanambilimbi is a musician deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions, and he owns his own band that entertains people countrywide, especially in Njombe township.
He also owns some farms, operates a mining company, and manages an entertainment venue called The Wheel, all based in Njombe region.
Balancing these four activities, Mwanambilimbi has meticulously organized his life’s journey, that has contributed significantly to his current success.
“Since I was a young man, farming has been my passion. I attended primary school and after classes I used to do farming, but my passion for music led me here as well,” he explained, adding that his achievements are not solely his own but a gift from God.
Mwanambilimbi encourages his peers to emulate his example, emphasizing the importance of planning and crafting projects that stakeholders may support.
He interprets the challenges faced by artists, as mere misconception because they have no scientific proof.
According to him, musicians must have alternative income generating activities to supplement music work because when they grow old, they will accrue income from the money invested in such activities.
Mwanambilimbi recently completed two new songs, “Safari” and “Sijabadilika,” which shall be launched in the near future. He is an admirer of fellow African musicians like Bizman, who often shares his success secrets.
“While I haven’t made great strides in development yet, I’m grateful for what I have achieved so far. Those who don’t appreciate the little they have cannot be expected to appreciate bigger achievements,” he remarks. The Njombe based musician is also a great admirer of veteran dance musicians like John Kitime and Khadija Mnoga ‘Kimobiteli’ who have taken similar steps in their career development.
Mwanambilimbi is very much aware of the fate of musicians when it comes of their lifestyles saying they often do not end up well because of copying bad lifestyles the moment they become popular. According to him, Bongo Flava musicians need to re-examine their cultural lifestyle if they want to succeed instead of copying everything including unethical practice and life styles. Ends.
