While the main artist is listed as Super Mazembe, Kazembe is credited as the producer and songwriter. Nashil Pichen Kazembe is among the best known and popular artists in Zambian music in the 1970's and 80's and was a highly influential figure in southern African music. Originally from Luapula Province in Zambia, he left Zambia to pursue a music career, first working in Mombasa before moving to Kenya in the early 1960's. He spent a long time in Nairobi, Kenya, where he collaborated with fellow Zambia emigres Peter Tsotsi and Benson Simbeye. As members of Eagles Lupopo Band they sang 'patriotic songs' praising President Kenneth Kaunda and commenting on various social issues. In the 1970's he collaborated heavily with the Kenyan Super Mazembe Band. Kazemba later produced a good deal of music for other artists and had a string of hits in Zambia as well. He died in 1991.
