Death

Kumwenda died in 1996 after an illness. Gone at a youthful age, his death was a blow to the entire music fraternity. However, his passing did not entirely deter the Burning Youth band from soldiering on with their musical mission. After a long time of silence and struggle to find ground, the band reemerged in September 1998 with a new leader Jack Tembo.
