French guitarist Thibault Cauvin on Saturday night produced a scintillating performance showing the power of the guitar during his concert held at French Cultural Centre (FCC) in Malawi's commercial city of Blantyre.
Cauvin who is on a world tour sponsored by Cultures French showed as to why he is among the best guitarist as he played Jazz songs using his guitar.
He plucked his guitar so well attracting applause from the French Cultural Centre auditorium.
Thibault’s show was spiced up by Malawi’s Kaligo Melodies led by Collen Ali who also won the hearts of many as he plucked his guitar playing local tracks.
“This is my first time to play alongside an international artist but I am happy with the support I got from the audience. The audience was special and listened so attentively,” said Ali.
The Malawi musician hailed FCC for bringing the French guitarist to play alongside local artists saying this would help sharpen their skills.
Cauvin said before he jumped on stage that he was happy to be in Malawi as part of his tour adding that its people were very friendly.
“Mwaswera bwanji? (How has been your day?). I am happy to be in Malawi and hold shows,” said the French artist who finished the show with a track which was done by his father Philip, a guitarist and composer.
The artist said he had been in about 25 countries in Africa and that he was coming to Malawi after visiting Zambia.
The French guitarist who has received several awards, among them the “prize of the Arts” from the Rotary Club of Bordeaux in 2003, was born on July 6, 1984. He began learning classical guitar at the age of 6.
In another development Malawi achieved yet another feat in the film industry when its celebrated writer Shemu Joyah launched his first ever film titled Seasons of Life at Comesa hall in Blantyre on Saturday night.
The movie explores what happens when a housemaid is coaxed into love, made pregnant and is forced by circumstances to keep away from – and almost lose – her baby.
