Makasu Band, led by its veteran players Peter Likhomo and Collen Ali and supported by Mr Entertainer Jai Banda, takes to the stage this Sunday to perform at Aero Lounge in Lilongwe.
The band, famed for songs such as ‘Sikunala’ and ‘Napolo’, returned to the fold recently, having been out of the limelight for years.
Makasu, which made a name during the times of late Bright Livewire Nkhata, has had a number of performances in Blantyre but now it invades the capital city to show music lovers that it is ready to reclaim glory.
Supported by The Six Solid Band, Makasu is also on a mission to release their new album, which is currently being finalised.
“This is the first time we will be performing in Lilongwe since we announced our comeback. We are thankful to Mr Entertainer Jai Banda, the last Samurai, for the support. We have been practising for some time without holding performances,” Likhomo, who is a bass guitarist, said.
Apart from Likhomo and Ali, other members of the group include trumpeter Wallace Ng’oma, drummer Vincent Manyozo, keyboardist Chiko Mulera and lead vocalist Kenzo B.
Aero Lounge Marketing Manager William Ngwira said they were excited to host Makasu Band, promising nothing but an electrifying night of live music and unforgettable experiences.
“It is an honour to have a band of their calibre perform at our venue. We also extend our gratitude to Mr Entertainer, a true icon in Malawi’s entertainment scene, whose support continues to elevate live music and cultural experiences,” Ngwira said.
