“We are excited as a group that everything is ready and this is why we have come up with the dates for the launch. It has been a long journey but praise God everything is in place,” he said.

Binauli said they were looking at nothing but the best during the launch which will be spiced up by several other artists.

The album which features songs with different genres including reggae and rhumba was recorded at One Heart Studio in Blantyre by Lloyd Phiri and Groove Magic Studio in Blantyre by Joseph Tembo.
