Filly-zo back with a new album

After making headlines last year with a hit song titled Ondjodhi Ya Maria Nepembe, lifted off his Friends are Family album, Afro-pop musician Fillemon Angombe, popularly known as Filly-zo, is back with another body of work.His latest album is titled Mombashu and is packed with 17 songs, which he maintains are all easy to listen to. “The album is titled Mombashu, which means inside the shack, but the meaning is not literal as this is not just an ordinary shack, it has to do with music,” said Filly-zo.On the album, Filly-zo worked with different producers including Andrew on the Beat, King Mex of YKMP Studios, Flame, Glo Solani and D-Square. Genres of the songs on the album vary from kwaito, Afro-house to Afro-pop as the singer wanted to cater for everybody.This body of work features hit songs like Mobashu, Otendela, Suama, Taapula and Omukriste. In terms of collaborations, Filly-zo worked with D-Kandjafa, Longizo, Bantu, Makilla, Dama Monique, King Mex, Mamaliwa and Sharpshooter.Released about a month ago, Filly-zo said the album has been received positively by the music market. “I sold-out my first stock of CDs in the first week of the album release, and the response is, overall, overwhelming,” said Filly-zo.The singer also shot a video for the song Otendela, which is getting more views on YouTube every day. “I am still planning on shooting more videos especially for the songs Mombashu and Ostory Yandje, featuring Makilla, next month,” he announced. Currently signed under Young Kasi Music, Filly-zo said he is busy working with his team to elevate art in Namibia. They are currently working on a movie titled Oshipwata Pwata, due for release in December. Moreover, Filly-zo is working on a collaboration album with K Dio and Makilla, which he says will be one of the best collaboration albums by Namibian artists.Talking about Young Kasi Music, Filly-zo says at first the label was a group of five artists, but all the artists went solo, and created Young Kasi Music as a label.He said his fans should expect more beautiful videos. He maintains that one of his major musical achievements so far is establishing a strong fan base in different corners of the country.Next year he is looking forward to participate in the Namibia Annual Music Awards (NAMAs) with the album Mombashu. “I have applied for the past two years and I was not lucky enough to be nominated, but this time around I am positive with this album,” he added.STAFF REPORTER
