Poetry feast at Wakawaka Hotel Saturday
Poetry, stand-up comedy and music are set to meet on stage tomorrow when Wakawaka Hotel in Lilongwe hosts Chiphwando Chandakatulo.
Poets such as Nyamalikiti Nthiwatiwa, Joseph Madzedze, Sylvester Kalizang’oma, Robert Chiwamba and Raphael Sitima will come face to face with local musicians Lulu and Mathumela Band, Innocent Chitimbe, contemporary musician Sangwani Munthali and celebrated artist Zambian Dali Soul.
“People will also be entertained by local comedians Mr Malawi, Aunt Geti and Atcheya who are famous in mimicking former Malawi presidents the late Professor Bingu wa Mutharika, Dr Joyce Banda and Dr. Bakili Muluzi respectively,” said Gift Khabuwa, spokesperson of Chia Productions, organisers of the show.
Khabuwa said the combination of music, poetry and comedy was made to treat people with different tastes of art under one roof but in a special way.
“We want this event to be a family show, where people of all walks of life can come together and entertain together. We want everyone to have something to enjoy.
“We decided to include Dali Soul from Zambia for that simple reason, a lot of people enjoy his music in Malawi and because it has been a long time since he last performed in the country, we thought it wise that his fans should have a taste of his new songs,” said Khabuwa.n
