Just as Jesus Christ performed a miracle by changing water into wine, Zambia’s army has transformed Muyunda Lubosi a great Mbunga singer known by the stage name as Y Coasty into a soldier in the country’s security forces.
Y- Coasty is well-known for his real-life songs, such as a song he wrote after a Mongu Police officer shot down his fiancée, father, and then killed himself. “Ililile tombola yakwa mulambwa”
When Senior Chief Inyambo died, Y Coasty sang a heartfelt song, which was also recorded live.
His vibrant rhythms and lyrics exuded an energy that could captivate the entire brain and Adreinne of Barotseland music followers, while his voice could rock your socks off as easily as the could calm your deepest sorrows.
Y – Coasty earned several accolades and honors, putting Barotseland on the map. He was more than simply a Mbunga performer; he was also a music producer and composer. This is what will preserve his tremendous legacy even as he begins his new noble work serving Zambia.
Instead of writing songs, Zambian Army trainers taught the well-known artist for six months about weapons competence, drill instructions, war skills, physical conditioning, military discipline, and command structure.
Barotseland Watchdog is thinking, was Y Coasty making loses in his musical career because he laboured so much to make ends meat? Owing to the fact that Barotseland people rarely supports their own, was the local but international like musician given support by the people of Barotseland or they were just enjoying his music on YouTube for him to say bye bye to Mbunga Music and join Zambian army? We doubt if they ever did!
Barotseland Watchdog congratulates Y Coasty, Muyunda Lubosi.
