Why they are here
One of the pioneers of kalindula music, and the writer of Common Man — the song Zambians still reach for when they want to say something about how the country treats ordinary people.
Peter Kalumba Chishala, known as PK Chishala, was widely acclaimed as one of the grand masters and pioneers of kalindula music.
His signature song is Common Man; other hits include Pole-Pole, Na Musonda and Mwaume Walutuku. The title track won him the 1987 Soloist of the Year award and took him to the WOMAD festival in 1988 as Zambia's flag bearer.
