Drax Africa

Introducing Drax Africa, the dynamic twin duo, Golden Mumba and Kelvin Mumba, originating from
the vibrant town of Luanshya in Zambia, often referred to as “the garden town of the copperbelt.” Their
upbringing in this culturally rich city, nestled in the heart of north-central Zambia, has deeply influenced
their music, art, and worldview.
Drawing inspiration from legends like Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Fela Kuti and Bob Marley, Drax
Africa masterfully blends Pop, Afrobeats, and Reggae genres. Their melodious voices resonate with
the spirit of the emerging Gen Z generation, while honoring timeless influences such as Zamrock and
reggae music. In 2019, Drax Africa made a striking entry into the music scene with a double release
featuring consecutive No. 1 hits, “Turn Around” and “Heart Of Mine.” These songs earned them
recognition as Artist Republik’s Songs of the Summer in both 2019 and 2020.
Their momentum soared in 2021 when “Turn Around” received the prestigious title of Best Indie Track
globally and in Africa at the Djooky Music Awards, an honor celebrated by industry Esteemed judges,
including Grammy nominee Patrice Rushen, producer Sasha Skarbek (known for his work with James
Blunt and Miley Cyrus), Justin Gray (collaborator with John Legend and Mariah Carey), and producer/
engineer Brian Malouf (with an illustrious roster including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Stevie Wonder
and Queen).
Drax Africa’s artistic journey is marked by remarkable collaborations with fellow artists across the
continent, including a notable partnership with Jamaican reggae luminary General Degree for their
2020 single, “Fine One.” As the sole independent duo in Zambia to claim the coveted Djooky Global
