By Pacharo Felix munthali
Alcapone is just less than ten years old. But when he mesmerized an assignment and test sozzled audience of Chancellor College, one could not resist but applaud the massive talent embodied in the kid.
A standard four pupil at Rose Gardens School, with a real name of Robert Chimwembe, stepped into studio in late 2007. By early 2008 a well-cooked single titled Mwana Lira chiani I was out. It is this single that forced Chancellor College audience, which patronized the Winter Slash on Sunday evening, 13th July go wild with merriment.
As the kid talked to this scribe, for him to record the song it all started because he used to sing it day in day out as a result his uncle, the owner of Dom Dash Production told him that they should go to studio.
“He wrote me the lines of my song. After that we went to studio,” says a smiling kid who aspires to be not only a musician but a lawyer as well.
Hailing from Mchinji, the young musician with all confidence and good articulation of English says he “manages both well.”
In fact his uncle known as Dominic, who is also his promoter, boasts that Chimwembe is always in top five in his class.
