Standard Bank has announced that this year\u2019s Blue Mingoli Music concert will take place on November 5 at Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
In a press statement, Head of Marketing and Communications, Thoko Unyolo, said the show will maintain its legacy of inviting an international musician who will be supported by a local musician in line with the goal of promoting the development of budding artists in Malawi.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to be returning to the big stage with Blue Mingoli this November, and we ask customers and music lovers alike to look forward to a memorable experience with the blue sound of music,\u201d Unyolo said.<\/p>\n
She said the names of the headline international and local musicians are under lock and key, but will be unveiled shortly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the success of last year\u2019s show with South Africa\u2019s Lira, we are working on bringing an Afro-pop musician commanding a bigger appeal and repertoire. The international artist will share the stage with a local contemporary musician. We shall unveil the names soon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
However, sources indicate that the local artist set to perform at the event is Patience Namadingo.<\/p>\n
Unyolo said this year\u2019s Blue Mingoli concert is under the theme \u201cMore than Music,\u201d to underscore the connections that the concert creates by bringing together people from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n
She also said that this year\u2019s concert will be supported by other activities focusing on arts and culture.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Blue Mingoli concert every summer gives us the opportunity to connect with both new and existing customers and to give back something to Malawians who love to unwind to a popular afro-beat that comes with a tinge of jazz,\u201d Unyolo said.<\/p>\n
Now in its fourth year, Blue Mingoli which was rebranded from Joy of Jazz is the Malawian version of international jazz concerts that Standard Bank Group hosts around Africa.<\/p>\n
Previous artists brought by the bank include US jazz maestro Earl Klugh and South African singer and guitarist Zahara.<\/p>\n
While Standard Bank has kept a tight lid on its international act, Stanbic Bank in Zambia will be hosting its festival on October 7 and 8 to be headlined by well-known British reggae and pop band UB40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
