ZAMBIAN musician Lilly Tembo has died at the age of 27.
Confirming the death, the singer’s sister Patience Tembo said Lilly suffered severe gastritis on Saturday and became weak before passing on around 19:30 hours on Monday.
“She had gastritis, she fell sick on Saturday… she was vomiting a lot and developed anaemia. Yesterday (Monday) around 19:00 hours, she died,” Patience said.
Lilly, who trained as a journalist at Evelyn Hone College, joined the music industry in 2004 when she released her first album titled Lily T.
She was at the time of releasing her first album a newscaster for Lusaka-based 5fm Radio.
Lily’s second album Osalila which was released in 2006 saw her win the Ngoma Awards for best female recording artiste and the best music video award for the title track.
She was recognised by BBC Africa as a promising African celebrity who had remained original to traditional instruments.
Her music then became popular on BBC’s Network Africa and South Africa’s Channel O.
Early this year, the singer went to South Africa to record her third album in which the song Mwenzekuti nimaboza was to be included.
She was later this year expected to perform in Eastern Cape at the Highway Africa under a project “Hearts and Minds.” http://www.postzambia.com/content/view/13658/50/

It is certain that the song “Ngauleya” has been a milestone for the upcoming star,
but he declares that more is yet to come from him.
“This album means a lot to me because just one year ago, I was a nobody without
anything in life. But all of a sudden, I am on TV and my voice is heard on radio,
I thank God,” says the John. Asked what the future looks like with the breakthrough in the industry, John says,
“This album will lead me to a second one which will be greater.” |
