    Published on:

    Judges for the Dolo Kwambiri  Amavotera Chakwera music challenge are set to select 15 songs out of 212 songs that were submitted for the competition from various artists in the music industry.

    The judges include musician Graiton GD Pasanje of the Dare Devils music group, music producer Tapps Bandawe and Sophie Mponda.

    Speaking in an interview, one of the judges for the competition, Tapps Bandawe, said the judges started their camping yesterday on Thursday in Lilongwe to select 15 songs for the next round of the competition and will finish their task on Sunday.

    He said the judges are well prepared for the task as artists are putting their talents and dreams in the judges’ hands and that they will take the task very seriously because it is about pushing the talent forward.

    Bandawe: The judges started meeting their camping yesterday

    “The criteria we are going to use is going to be based solely on an individual’s talent. It is our first time meeting as a panel of judges, so when we meet later during the day, we are going to decide what categories we are going to choose. whether it’s creativity 10 points, songwriting 10 points, vocal range, whatever it is. So, we will put together the right criteria,” Bandawe said.

    In his remarks, one of the organizers of the challenge Yikamikani Chinguwo said the judges have been given four days to shortlist 15 songs that will be uploaded on the Dolo Amavotera Chakwera website so that the public can choose five winners out of the 15.

    He said the public will start voting for the best five winners latest on Tuesday next week.

    The competition, dubbed Dolo Kwambiri Amavotera Chakwera, will see winners walk away with K5 million each.

    The music challenge was introduced by Minister of Labour Vitumbiko Mumba during last year’s youth concert held at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe.
