Kukana Kuba Kasambwe Band last Thursday shared the stage with artists such as ethno-musician Waliko Makhala and Agorosso in a Sounds of Malawi Acoustic session showcase at Jacaranda Cultural Centre (JCC) in Blantyre.
The show served as Kukana Kuba Kasambwe Band’s warm-up as they prepare for a tour of United States of America (USA) next month.
The Ndirande-based outfit, which kept the audience on the dance floor with their authentic sounds, will be performing in USA for the first.
The showcase attracted a good audience which included Silvia Hesse from Friends of Malawi in Germany as well as students and teachers from IGS School from Germany, who are here for an exchange programme with Jacaranda School for Orphans.
