Was a Zambian singer from Luapula province (close to the Congolese (DRC) border) who became an African music star in the 1970s. He spent a long time in Nairobi, Kenya, where he collaborated with fellow Zambia emigre Peter 'Tsotsi' Juma who was from Mbala in Northern Province on the Zambia-Tanzania border. As members of 'Eagles Lupopo Band' they sang 'patriotic songs' praising President Kenneth Kaunda and commenting on various social issues. Nashil Pichen briefly embarked on a solo career and had his big hit 'A-Phiri Anabwera' which is a song about Mr Phiri - a long lost migrant worker who returns home from the city empty handed only to find that no one in his village remembers him. Pichen then scored a string of hits with his Super Mazembe band singing in Zambian, Congolese and Kenyan languages. Although he returned to Zambia in the 1980s and recorded a few albums there, his Nairobi hits are the more famous ones and it was in Kenya that he developed his unique style of combining Zambian traditional music with Congolese, Kenyan and Southern African urban rhythms like rumba, soukous, benga music and kwela. Although he was very popular in Zimbabwe, Nashil Pichen, like his predecessor Alick Nkhata was never a citizen of Zimbabwe.
