Controversial reggae musician Limbani Banda, better known as Lambanie Dube, is now managing veteran musician Sir Paul Banda.<\/p>\n

Lambanie Dube creator of the hit \u2018Chisoni Nkumatenda\u2019, has been out of the music limelight for some time but he said yesterday that he was back in the fold.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been there, only that I was playing a low profile. I am still in music and will continue playing my role as long as I am alive but I thought I should also come in and assist fellow artists hence managing Sir Paul Banda<\/a>,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dube said Sir Paul deserves respect, having done a lot for the country in terms of music development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up listening to Sir Paul Banda\u2019s music and up to now I enjoy his music. I still feel he is being left out of the picture. He is a legend and we need to utilise him fully and at the same time give him the platform to showcase his talent. As a manager, I am ready to work with him.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I am speaking to you now, Sir Paul Banda is training with a band I have created known as The Slaves. I don\u2019t want Sir Paul to be underestimated. He is a big artist and deserves better,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dube said there are a lot of projects he wants to embark on revealing that he is in the process of organising a festival to be held in August.<\/p>\n

On his own music, Dube said he was taking his time to polish up some of his songs and that he would soon come out with new songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more shows coming up later this month. All I can say is let people watch the space and let them support Sir Paul Banda,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before going silent, Dube used to work with Sir Paul\u2019s brother Lucius and Zembani Band.<\/p>\n

Sir Paul has in the past also been performing with Alleluya Band but, during Alleluya Band\u2019s recent showdown in Blantyre, the legendary musician was not present.<\/p>\n

The veteran singer and guitarist, who has worked with several musicians and assisted many through the now forgotten Imbirani Yahweh Studio, confirmed yesterday he was now working with Dube.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true. I have just discovered what a good person he is; full of love for others,\u201d<\/em> Sir Paul said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He said Dube is highly misunderstood because he is open as well as straightforward in the way he deals with issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am working with him because he came to hold my hand at a time I had lost hope,\u201d<\/em> Sir Paul said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The musician also indicated that his marriage with Alleluya Band was intact.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is just that sometimes I miss something. There are times I would want to hold shows but Alleluya Band is not there, especially when they go for the annual Italy shows. So this is part of keeping myself alive,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
