Afro-gospel fusion maestro Patience Namadingo has once again stirred the nation’s emotions with ‘Kufa Nkugona’, a soul-stirring music video whose title translates to “Death is Like Sleeping.” The track blends heartfelt lyricism with Namadingo’s unmistakable vocal signature, offering comfort to the grieving and reflection for the faithful.
“Ndani wina wachikondi choposa Messiah, Ndani wina chifundo choposa Messiah, Adzatipatsa moyo wina tikafa, Kufa nkugona, Msamachite mantha abale, Tidzaukanso moyo wina,” reads part of the lyrics in Chichewa, underscoring the song’s central message of hope, faith, and eternal life.
