Iwe ka Mushota so Africa is full of finished people.Did you take your medicine this morning?, every day that passes when I read your comments am beginning to realize you’re a mental patient no doubt.Too much kusabaila…kikiki
Ba Mungala give the shemale a break. I think he/she referring to Boyz II Men. This trio is no longer a household name in the music industry that’s why they can’t wait to jump on this opportunity to go and perform in third world countries like Zambia.
Premium music artists are fully booked year in year out to go and perform where the money is.
For once I agree with useless Mushota. Boyz to who? Please!
Stanbic Banks keeps bringing finished musicians. Why cant you bring the ones currently rocking?
Shawn Stockman needs this gig, he was found to have be leaving a double life with 2 wives and 2 sets of children he therefore needs to support. Help a brother out!
Kubulaya ni double life ? In Zambia we call it ubuchende
Blah Blah Blah Blah
Someone is missing in that photo!!
Uja wachi voice anamwalila
Their fourth member, very observant jay jay. Why are they coming now, when they are a distant memory.
Chandard, he is still alive and well. His voice was impacted by an illness. He retired from music.
Improve customer care. That’s the issue with corporate entities in Zambia – it’s all window dressing. If you look at the banks that are not playing to the gallery, their service seems to be much better. Anyway, this one I won’t go as I’m out of pocket. We plan a year ahead.
Wonder when Vanilla Ice or Mc Hammer will be brought in
Remember when Shaba ranks came? I tore my blouse to make it a Shaba do! Ala my mum whipped me. I’m a doctor now
They are still called “Boys II Men”? Shouldn’t they change their name to “Men II Madalas”?
In typical fashion, we will wait for them to come until 1am and then they will do 3 songs and disappear.
Why bring these old retired people?
These ones I can go to watch “for old times sake”, as Freddie Jackson sung.
Imwe people come on holiday to Zambia not to make money.
Boyz II Men can remain in the 1990s. They are best left state side. Bring us greats. Celine Deon would be great.
Performing for pension
For those who don’t know much about BoyzIIMen, this male R&B group is still making waves. They have a new album released in 2014/5 & travel extensively! Last year they were in Cape Town. They are one of a kind…real music and not instant coffee music being produced these days…..I respect this trio and will definitely travel from my country to see them in concert!
They have a spot in Vegas that’s where they perform now
Huh….it is surprising to read some of the comments are you sure they are finished or maybe you just head 1song for them…coz I don’t think it can even be possible to bring them here alone.it is why there tour starts in Namibia some time in August and then South Africa and that is when they will come to Lusaka.then east Africa
