TECHNOLOGY and Science Minister Felix Chipota Mutati has said the preservation of culture should be paramount in order to solidify its values and pass on tradition to the future generations.
Mr. Mutati has also urged those gifted to sing to work hard and use their imagination to make music as part of expression as Zambains’ culture is that of happiness and meaningfulness.
The minister made the call when he officiated the launch of a musical album by the 08:15 Choir of St Ignatius Catholic Parish in Lusaka’s Rhodespark residential area which is titled ‘kutinaeba amabwe’ translated as ‘I can opt to speak to the stones’ and bought a copy at K10,000 as part of supporting the singing group.
Mutati stated he was proud that the choir opted to release an album with all songs in local language and indicated that God listens when his people express themselves from inside-out which can be best done in a local language.
Mutati stressed that it is therefore imperative that in order for people to express themselves in a way they would connect better with God, preservation of culture through singing in local language should be number one.
Meanwhile, Mutati urged the church and all those involved in music across Zambia to invest in quality production for better output, which will give total satisfaction to the listeners.
