It\u2019s not an April fool\u2019s Day joke but rather it\u2019s true. A concert involving some of the country\u2019s talented artists – South African-based guitarist Erik Paliani and Lulu is set to take place in Lilongwe next month.<\/p>\n
Paliani, a producer and songwriter, best known for his work with South African singer Zamajobe Sithole and trumpeter Hugh Masekela, wrote the information on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo special performance has just been finalised. December 30, BICC. Malawi. With another great young Malawian guitarist Lulu Khwisa and an all star Malawian band\u2026,\u201d Paliani said.<\/p>\n
The concert will take place at Bingu International Conference Centre in Lilongwe on December 30.<\/p>\n
Paliani, who has been described by Wambali Mkandawire as a genius in music and that the country has failed to utilise him fully said apart from their repertoire, they will also pay special tribute to Griffin Mhango, George Phiri and Stampie Kamwendo.<\/p>\n
Paliani, who credits his tenure with Acacias Band for providing the foundation for his success internationally, could not be drawn to comment much on the concert.<\/p>\n
It has been sometime since Paliani, performed in the country.<\/p>\n
The guitarist, who in 2010 released his debut album Chitukutuku <\/em>which earned him critical acclaim, was recently in Mozambique for concerts.<\/p>\n Lulu confirmed of the concert with Paliani saying this was part of big projects he is working on.<\/p>\n \u201cYou remember I told you that I was rebranding myself and one of the projects I was working on was with Erik Paliani. He is an exceptional artist, who always motivates me and I am happy we will be performing together,\u201d said the Mbambande <\/em>star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s not an April fool\u2019s Day joke but rather it\u2019s true.
