Go well, Charlz
It is with heavy hearts that we mourn and remember Charlz, one of Namibia's most prolific gospel artists.
Born Charles Nguvenjengua Zambuee, Charlz died on 16 January after a short-illness at Katutura Hospital. He was born on 5 December 1983 and he went on to produce four albums, 'Ngatujere Omeho' (2009), 'Amen' (2011), 'Increase in Me' (2013) and 'Uzira' (2015).
He was voted a finalist in the “Best Gospel Artist” category in the 2012 NAMA Awards. The founder and president of Charlz Muzik Records was a down-to-earth individual whose music crossed tribal boundaries and united many.
He will be buried in Okahandja this Saturday. “We have compiled an album, dubbed 'The Very Best of Charlz' it will be sold at the Memorial for N$100 to help raise funds for the bereaved family. It will be a celebratory event in honour of our beloved brother,” says Shadreck Nyaungwa, the artist's manager and producer. His sudden death sent shock waves throughout the music community in Namibia and has left a hole in the hearts of many who loved him and who were touched by his ministry and testimony.
