Malawi artists are optimistic that their inclusion to perform in International shows especially the last week, Saturdays Luciano show in the Capital Lilongwe has exposed their talent to the world.
A renowned musician Lucius Banda says Luciano show has greatly added value to Malawi music and talent as it is apparent that people from all corners of the world had patronised the event and spotted them.
“Luciano is a world class artist and surely we benefited a lot by sharing a stage with him.” He said, “People like those when they go to a country, don’t expect that the audience is to be from the host country only.”
He continued “So, the audience for Luciano show in Malawi was not only from Malawi, some traveled from Zambia, even Zimbabwe and some I hope came from Jamaica just to see him in Malawi.” He said, “By so doing, we are getting exposed to various people and that’s what every artist needs in Africa.”

Meanwhile, events coordinator for Born Afrikan Productions in Malawi Mphatso Chaluluka has promised that Born Afrikan Productions will continue supporting Malawi artists though exposing them in such international musical events.
However, Malawi upcoming artists in reggae music were missing on the Luciano show, yet musicians who sing other types of genres but not reggae had performed on such event. On this issue, Chaluluka said “The question is, why is it that we will bring them next time. We will bring them because they are doing a good job.”
“Last time we included a lot of people including Malinga Mafia and what have you, but this time around we thought of including other artists that did not perform that December Show for Fantan Mojah because Born Africa Productions is here to make sure that Malawian music develops.”
He added “The theme for this show was Reggae Unites Festival, so we decided to take various artists to be on one stage jut to show that reggae really unites. But we really want the young ones and the next show we will definitely include them”

The Malawi's Born Afrikan Events Coordinator has since thanked Malawians for coming to the Luciano show in large number. He has also promised that there is more to come from Born Afrikan Productions, “So far we are improving, Malawians are responding and it’s a positive feedback that we have got from Malawi.”
“Luciano was on point and he was in form. Am sure Malawians will accept that the guy had a great show.” said Chaluluka
“But we need more people to come next time, people should believe that Born Afrikan Productions is here to deliver. Next time we are bringing somebody else, it can be anybody, can be Sizzla or Morgan Heritage” he assured

On other issues Chaluluka said “There is room for improvement, there is a lot more we need to do; we have a big problem with security on the gates because as a lot of people are not prepared to pay for the show even though we started advertising months before the show. So, people should change that mentality. On our part we have some shortfalls as well, we need to fix especially on ticketing system but we are working on that.”
