Bio
Gwamba, whose birth name is Duncan Zgambo, is a songwriter and rapper from Lilongwe, Malawi. As a child, his love for rap music was inspired by listening to American rapper 50 Cent and Malawian rapper The Basement. This made him form a rap group called Pittie Boys with his friends, where he released the single "Work That Thing." In 2009, Gwamba went solo and started to record music that received massive airplay and local and international recognition.
