Organiser of the show in Malawi, DJ Cool, said bringing Buffalo Souljah to Malawi is fulfilment of his promise to work with international acts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have worked with a number of international artists who are willing to perform in Malawi. This is just the beginning and I believe that, as a Malawian, I can play a part in promoting tourism. That is why bringing international artists here will help us sell our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
