DENDERA musician Allan Chimbetu has revealed that soon after the death of his elder brother and Orchestra Dendera Kings leader Simon Chimbetu in 2005 the family and band almost ground to a halt.
In a wide-ranging interview with NewsDay Life & Style, Chimbetu, the band’s lead guitarist, said Simon’s death 15 years ago was a very big blow to the family and music fraternity.
The lead guitarist has been quiet since 2016 after releasing his last album dubbed Covenant.
Chimbetu said he was currently working on his fifth album which would be launched soon.
Chimbetu has four albums under his belt namely Sonny (2006), Professor (2007), Simukai (2009) and Covenant (2016).
