Debonairs Pizza's Lamba Busters' Campaign Now In Full Swing

17 July, 2017 - 07:01

With the launch of the third radio spot in a series created to draw South Africa's attention to its latest Real Deal for a Steal' special offers, Debonairs Pizza's Lamba Buster' campaign is in full swing.

Featuring La Bamba, the energetic dancing tune made famous in 1958 by Mexican-American musician Ritchie Valens, the campaign sings' with a true South Africa voice as each of the three ads in the series features snatches of vernacular lyrics.

This is particularly true of the third spot, which broke this week (July 12). It bemoans the boring skaftini' (packed lunch) with extra pap no chatini' (gravy), no big piece of nyama' (meat) just an e-nyana' (tiny one).

Devised by FCB Creative Director Greg Cameron, Art Director Mpumi Ngwenya and

Copywriter Mbeu Kambuwa, and recorded in Bryanston at Rob Roy Music, each ad is just 30-seconds long.

They do, however, go a long way to putting a tap in the listener's toe while reminding them that the solution to that feeling of your stomach has taken a bite of your kidney' is a Lamba Buster (Hunger Buster).
