The Charamba Legacy Lives On: Shalom and Eternity Step Into the Gospel Spotlight
Daughters of Zimbabwe’s gospel power couple, Pastor Charles and Mai Olivia Charamba, Shalom and Eternity Charamba are making waves with their highly anticipated musical debuts. Their heartfelt songs, inspired by faith and family, have been warmly received by fans, marking the rise of a new generation in the Charamba musical legacy.
A Resounding Debut
Shalom (22) released her single "Mbiri Yose," while her younger sister Eternity (18) debuted with "Tonamata." Both tracks have garnered considerable attention and praise on YouTube, marking a successful entry into the industry.
Pastor Charamba expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support: “We did not anticipate such a massive response and we would like to thank music followers for supporting our daughters in such a big way. It is not often that musicians get such massive response to debut releases.”
The Charambas clarified that they did not persuade their daughters to pursue music. Instead, the young ladies have been "pestering their parents for studio time." Growing up in a home with a recording studio, all five of the Charamba children have been exposed to the music business, making it a natural path for them to follow.
"We were waiting for the right time to introduce them to the world, but they have been doing music since they were young," said Pastor Charamba.

Guidance from Gospel Royalty
With decades of experience, Pastor Charamba shared the advice he gave his daughters: “The advice we give to our children has much of its emphasis on doing everything with sincerity, well-meaning, prayerfully, respecting people and revering God.”
“They must not be pressured to sing like anyone else but must remain themselves. Pace and frequency of release should be at their discretion.”
Mai Charamba expressed a parent's universal wish for their children to surpass their own achievements. “It is every parent’s wish to see their children doing better than them... When parents achieve certain things, they wish their children can excel beyond that level. It is my wish that these daughters... do better than us.”

The Future of the Legacy
Following the success of their singles, Shalom and Eternity are already working on a full album. The duo is backed by their parents' renowned band, Fishers of Men, an arrangement that will facilitate seamless collaboration for live shows and future projects.
While their vocal styles show a resemblance to their mother's, Pastor Charamba noted, "They are different in their approach to music, which makes it better because people will be able to differentiate their styles."
