It was a big album launch which also saw Nigeria’s DJ Waxy perform as well as Zambia’s Peterson Mukubesa and Zimbabwe’s Buffalo Soldier. People came in large numbers in Malawi’s commercial city of Blantyre at Comesa Hall to see the African musicians rub shoulders on stage.
Kenya’s Nameless said the album launch had brought Africa together to enjoy music of different types. “It’s good that musicians from West and Central Africa came together and played music as well as share experiences. This is what happened today,” he said.
Kenya’s female musician Kagwi who was performing for the first time in Malawi said she was impressed with the support she received from Malawians adding that it revealed that Africans support each other.
“I was new on stage but Malawians welcomed me as their fellow African and I enjoyed performing though my songs were new to them,” she said.
Tay Grin said he decided to invite several musicians to the launch of his album and label Black Ryno because he wanted Malawians to experience the difference.
“Africa is rich in music and so I decided to bring musicians from Kenya, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Nigeria just for them to experience the difference,” he said.
Tay grin whose real name is Limbani Kalilani has also been nominated for the Channel O music awards this year.
