Barbra Banda & Racheal Kundananji Name Their Best African Artists
Zambia’s football superstars, Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji, recently turned the spotlight away from the pitch and onto the world of music revealing their favorite African artists in a fun and surprising twist.
Barbra Banda, the Copper Queens captain and Madrid CFF forward, placed her bet on Yo Maps, Zambia’s chart-topping hitmaker known for love anthems like Mr. Romantic and Aweah. Banda described Yo Maps as a voice that represents Zambia’s rhythm and resilience, noting how his songs have become soundtracks of motivation.
On the other hand, Golden Boot winner Racheal Kundananji went with a mix of icons, choosing Rudeboy of P-Square and Zambia’s very own Y Celeb. Her picks highlight both continental legends and the rising street kings who are shaping the culture for the next generation.
This “football-meets-music” crossover has sparked lively debates among fans:
- Team Banda cheering for Yo Maps as Zambia’s biggest export.
- Team Kundananji celebrating Rudeboy’s timeless hits and Y Celeb’s raw, youthful energy.
The exchange proves one thing — Zambia’s queens not only dominate global football but also carry strong voices in shaping cultural conversations. Whether on the pitch or vibing to music, their choices reflect the diversity and unity of African talent.
