AGGA, son of veteran jazz crooner Bob Nyabinde, says he gets strength to work hard from his loyal fans.
The talented guitarist and composer believes consistency had made him a darling of many.
In an interview with H-Metro, the 32-year-old believes he is striking the right chords.
“Our fans are very loyal. They love the music and they follow us in live shows. Some even send messages at awkward times just to appreciate the music we are giving them.
“To me that is a positive vibe which gives me strength to produce more music. It shows that the songs touch people’s hearts at different times,” he said.
The 2 Nice Band leader told H-Metro he enjoys the new year.
“The year is much better considering that the past two years were dry because of Covid 19.
“I am getting a lot of support for my new album Kufara Kweumwe which I released on the 1st of December last year.”
He, however, conceded that it was not easy protecting his father’s legacy.
“The pressure is there, but I am glad that people are also giving an ear to my own songs and they also appreciate them.
“If you get people requesting your personal compositions, it shows that you are in the right direction.
“So, at the moment, we mix Bob Nyabinde’s songs with my own songs and we even play some of them in our own way and the people like it,” he said.
Agga pledged to reinvent the wheel and further build on the foundation laid by his father.
“I will try my level best to keep this legacy intact. We will continue to produce new music to quench the thirst of our Afro jazz fans.
“My brother, Sir Albert Nyabinde is also pushing the legacy through his ensemble, The Jazz Motif Band so we can safely confirm that the brand is here to stay.
“This week I have a midweek show on Thursday at The Cafe Borrowdale. We will be playing the tunes off our new Album Kufara Kweumwe.
“The atmosphere is what our fans have always asked for, nothing but top-notch quality in every aspect.
“We are promising fireworks, as it’s going to be lit,” said Nyabinde.
