Zambian gospel artist Kings Mumbi Malembe tells listeners to take their burdens to God on “Umwebe,” a Bemba worship song.
The Bemba title means “Tell Him” or “Declare to Him,” and the whole song follows that instruction. When life feels heavy, the message says, prayer still works. Kings Mumbi Malembe points to God as the owner of silver and gold. So money worries, hard seasons, and daily needs belong in prayer, not in despair. That plain, direct approach gives the song a gentle, comforting tone.
Patrick Kilima handled the audio production, and the sound keeps a warm worship atmosphere. The official video, directed by Tim K., was filmed at the Grand Savoy Hotel in Ndola, which gives the clip a clean, polished setting. Kings, also known as Kings MM Mumbi, asked fans to share the song and spread its message across the world, and several Zambian blogs picked up the video within days.
He has built a steady gospel catalogue. “Hosanna” featured Emmanuel HMB and Mirriam, and “Mweba Maka” brought in Rebecca. “Enough Is Enough” and the “Lesa Wilala” series with several guests also helped him grow an audience. “Umwebe” continues that run with a short, direct message that anyone can sing along to.
For Zambian listeners who want worship music in Bemba, the song offers a calm and honest way to start the day or end it. It also suits anyone who feels the pressure of bills or uncertainty.
Tell God what you carry with “Umwebe” and tell us – which burden are you handing over today?
