Zambian Vocal Group

The Zambian Vocal Group is a group of five men from Zambia – a landlocked country in south-central Africa. The original group was formed in 1985 in a small church in Kalingalinga a suburb of Lusaka – the capital city of Zambia. The original group had ten members but currently has five active members namely - Richard Fulumana, Josephat Mbenga, Webster Munchini, Oliver Mabiya, and Sylvester Kalandanya Pupe Sichangwa. The group was “discovered” by a visiting American missionary in 1989. At that time, we never dreamed of visiting the United States. However, through God's grace we started touring the USA in 1993 as Zambian Acappella. At the time we were raising funds to help different schools in Lusaka, Zambia. However, in 2000, the group changed its name to the Zambian Vocal Group and its entire focus onto a rundown school that catered for orphans and other disadvantaged children in the Chainda community of Lusaka, Zambia. In that year we introduced an initiative called “Reach Out” to raise money to purchase the land for the school. A group of people from a small church in North Carolina were among the first donors to the “Reach Out” program, and before long the program caught momentum. We soon had more than 600 people from across the United States donating money towards this noble cause. This work continues under the auspices of Teach One International's the "Make A Difference" program. ZAMBIAN VOCAL GROUP
