Multilingual musician and traditional healer Vulani Sophy Chauke, better known as Dr Sophy, has released her sixth album, Rifumu Ra Mina Page7, featuring 13 carefully crafted tracks that explore everyday life and current issues.
All songs were composed by Dr Sophy, who says the album offers guidance and lessons through its lyrics, celebrating joyful moments and providing solace during difficult times. Notable tracks include Hala Nandoni, Viva Byala, and the title track, Rifumu Ra Mina.
Beyond releasing the album, Dr Sophy has focused on promoting it through interviews on radio stations and live performances in towns across the country. She emphasises the importance of supporting artists by buying original music, condemning piracy as harmful to the industry.
