PDK and Tate Buti ditch Omalaeti Music label

A source that prefers to remain anonymous said the musicians: Patrick Mwashindange, Dion Auala and Christian 'Kamtonyo' Andreas, popularly known as PDK and Tate Buti are no longer with the label. “They didn’t leave because of any bad blood. The artists simply didn’t renew their contracts for the 2017 as usual,” said the source. The popular trio PDK have been in the public eye making hit Kwaito and Pantsula songs and music videos since 2006 releasing 10 albums. The 11th is rumoured to be released this year in early March under another label. A PDK group member, Mwashindange brushed off the remark when contacted by Tjil. “We will inform you when we are ready; right now there is no comment.” Tate Buti hinted on his Facebook account that he is no longer with Omalaeti. “Not Omalaeti anymore... It’s LaTangi.com,” read the status from his account under the name Tate Buti laTangi. When contacted, he said he was driving and gave the Omalaeti Music label owners contact details. John Walenga did not answer his phone when contacted for a comment. Tate Buti recently released an electronically distributed album Onete which has many December hits including Iyaloo featuring Tash. When asked to comment on the sales, he referred Tjil to Walenga who was again not reachable for a comment. Tate Buti has a record of 10 albums under his belt and is known for putting on a massive show during live performances. The source close to PDK and Tate Buti said the artists made a wise decision not to renew their contract saying they will do much better on their own than under Omalaeti label. The source also said that the contract that both PDK and Tate Buti did not renew is only the music one. They will still be doing productions that are not music related like adventurous movies of Captain Kalola. June Shimuoshili
