Gondwe said The Black Missionaries Band, Blasto, Don Tarz, Queen Fyah, Chizmo and many other reggae local musicians are also on the menu to perform during the day.
“This is a movement designed to celebrate reggae music and foster unity among reggae enthusiasts. This concert also aims to create international exposure by uniting artists from Jamaica (The Reggae Motherland) and Malawi (The Warm Heart of Africa) while supporting the Rastafari Movement’s call for financial backing in its socio-economic development endeavors, “she said
She said people should expect a great event that will put Malawi on the map in as far as reggae music is concerned.
However, she added that attending the event means more than enjoying incredible music but it also signifies love towards Rastafarian community and reggae music.
