Blantyre, March 6: An upcoming musician, Ellen Kadango who is set to release her 10 track debut album titled “Wonderful” soon has said one of her goals is to fight for the rights of women, orphans and the elderly as they are the most vulnerable in society.

Speaking in an Interview with the Malawi news Agency, she said she feels that if people work together to improve these people’s livelihoods, life would be simpler for them.

“People still have that mindset where they feel women cannot achieve other things simply because they are female,” said Kadango.

She said she is always working hard to try to reach out to the needy in the society.

“Let’s try to reach out to the old and vulnerable with the little that we have, we can make a difference,” said Ellen.

On the music scene, the artist said she has much respect for Ethel Kamwendo and Lucius Banda because of their ability to remain in the industry for a long time.

“Lucius Banda has been doing music for so long but you can see that he manages to remain on the spotlight after all these years.

“I respect Ethel for the way her songs are done as they are always original and she does not change the way her songs are done,” she observed.

Ellen has worked with Zembani Banda for 3 to 4 months as a dancer and has performed on stage with the band twice in Zambia.

The 10 track album will include songs like Ndikanakhala nyerere, Mitala and Pachibwenzi
