A three-day Lake of Stars International Music Festival kicks off in the lake resort district of Salima, 70 km southeast of the Malawi capital of Lilongwe, on Friday.
According to festival organiser Harry Gibbs, the event seeks to promote Malawian music and tourism on the international market.
"The event provides travellers and Malawians alike with the opportunity to enjoy incredible live music in an exotic and beautiful location," he said.
Gibbs added that the event would also act as a platform for international and African artists to gather for music, social and cultural exchanges.
He said with musical genre ranging from Afro Pop, reggae and folk to beat-boxers, gospel and the best of international DJ’s, the festival has something for everyone.
Lake of Stars is a summer music festival that takes place in the “Warm Heart of Africa” – Malawi’s nickname — on the palm fringed shores of the continent’s third largest freshwaters of Lake Malawi.
