"Bwanji a Malawi? very good song, extremely good. i love that it is in Nyanja( or Chewa like you call it there - am in Zambia), am not very familiar with this band or the song, it sounds like a song about persecution, can anyone with more info enlighten me."

Video #4: Isaac Black – Omonozozo [Nigeria]
Uploaded by iiyobo on Oct 27, 2011
This is a non-fading EDO/BINI reggae tune. It´s such a beautiful song, that it was an instant hit when it came out. Additional to that, it remains ever-green. It´s a powerful, touching, moving and emotional song by the beautiful voice of our own ISAAC BLACK ...... (R.I.P.)
