Archive material and source history
P Nchilima formed in 1974 as a Tanzanian gospel band. Their name translates to "God is Great," and their early lineup included Joseph Kyando on lead vocals, Joseph Muwanga on backup vocals, Yohana Kasaa on drums, Msafiri Maghori on guitar, and Paulo Sebuse on bass guitar.
In 1983, they had a breakthrough with the song "Mungu Ni Nfariji," which became a hit and established their presence in Tanzanian gospel music. They've released albums like Mwabudu (1983), Nipe Roho (1989), Mashaka (1995), Mwili na Roho (2002), and Tunakutumaini (2010). Other songs in their catalog include "Tabu," "Mapito," and "Sitamani."
Their music draws on traditional Tanzanian rhythms with soulful harmonies and lyrics focused on faith. In the early 2000s, lead singer Joseph Kyando faced accusations of financial improprieties, which the band addressed with a statement about transparency.
