Karonga-based musical group, Lusubilo Band, returns home Friday from South Korea where they held performances.
\nLusubilo Band is under Lusubilo Music Centre.
\nLusubilo Music Centre Founder, Agnes Kim, said Wednesday that the group continued with their impressive exploits in Korea, and had their last performance on Tuesday.
\n\u201cWe had very successful performances here in Korea. People enjoyed all the performances and we are happy that, throughout, we raised Malawi\u2019s flag,\u201d Kim said.
\nShe said the last performance was at the 2018 Pyungchang Winter Olympic Art Dream Camp.
\nShe said the group shared experiences with fellow youths from other countries during the Art Dream Camp.
\nLusubilo Band was invited to South Korea by South Korea\u2019s ministry of culture, sports and tourism.
\nKim also said that, apart from representing Malawi, they also represented Africa\u2014 in the sense that they were the only band from Africa.
\n\u201cWe represented Africa. Other countries that were part of the Art Dream Camp include Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia and Korea,\u201d she said.
\nAccording to Kim, this was Lusubilo Band\u2019s third performance in South Korea.
\nShe said Lusubilo Band took people on a journey of genres, from jazz to African pop.
\nThe previous outing saw Lusubilo Band working on the DVD for their album Afrika Inuka.
\nThe group has proved it has potential and has performed in different platforms such as Lake of Stars Festival.
\nLusubilo has also performed in Germany, through the What Boundaries? project.
\nThe initiative saw Lusubilo collaborating with Germany group, Andromeda Mega Express, and Ulimba from Nsanje.
\nThe collaborative project, which also saw Andromeda performing in the country, was supported by German Kulturstiftung des Bundes (Federal Cultural Foundation).
\nThe project\u2019s aim was to blend and combine Malawi\u2019s traditional music with international jazz, current electronic music as well as elements of contemporary European music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
