To be held on September 13, Chiphwando cha Ndakatulo will feature poets like Nyamalikiti Nthiwatiwa, Joseph Madzedze, Sylvester Kalizang’oma Robert Chiwamba and Raphael Sitima who will come face to face with local musicians Lulu and Mathumera Band, Innocent Chitimbe,
contemporary musician Sangwani Munthali and Zambian celebrated artist Dalisoul.
“People will also taste local comedians Mr Malawi, Aunt Geti and Atcheya who are famous in mimicking former Malawi presidents late Professor Bingu wa Mutharika, Dr Joyce Banda and Dr Bakili Muluzi respectively,” Said Gift Khabuwa Spokesperson of Chia Productions, organizers of the show.
Khabuwa said the combination of musicians, poets and comedians was made to treat people in a special way.
“We want this event to be a family show, where people of all different walks of like can come together and entertain together. We want everyone to have something to enjoy.
“We decided to include Dalisoul from Zambia because of a simple reason, a lot of people enjoy his music in Malawi and because it has been a long time since he last perfomed in the country, we thought it wise that his fans should have a taste of his new songs,” said Khabuwa.
According to Khabuwa, Chimphwando cha Ndakatulo will start at 1 pm with people paying K1500 at the door while advance tickets are being sold at K1000 and are available at Globe Star Shop, Galani MW1 shop and Wakawaka Hotel.
