Pastor Charamba Criticized Jah Signal's Song 'Stonyeni' as 'Blasphemous'

Gospel music legend and pastor, Charles Charamba, recently expressed disapproval towards dancehall artist Jah Signal's rendition of his song 'Kana Vanhu Vangu,' commonly known as 'Stonyeni.' 


The dispute arose due to a catchy punchline in Jah Signal's version that has gained popularity across various social circles.

Jah Signal revealed that he had approached Pastor Charamba for consent before recording the song, but received no response. Despite being a fan of Charamba's music, Jah Signal's rendition did not sit well with the pastor.

According to Jah Signal's manager, Hillary Mutake, they did not breach any copyright laws by incorporating a snippet of Charamba's music. However, upon learning about the song, Pastor Charamba expressed discomfort with his music being associated with secular artists.

In an exclusive interview with Zim Morning Post, Pastor Charamba denounced the lyrical content of the song as blasphemous and advised Jah Signal against releasing it. He emphasized the importance of maintaining moral standards in musical compositions, especially when it involves Christian songs meant for worship and evangelism.

Pastor Charamba highlighted his role as an elder in guiding young musicians and expressed hope for Jah Signal's repentance and forgiveness from God. Despite this incident, Charamba acknowledged that his music has inspired other artists in the past, such as King Shaddy.

Meanwhile, Jah Signal continues to enjoy success with his latest album and live performances, despite the controversy surrounding his rendition of Pastor Charamba's song.
