Makasu Band’s return to the fold after years of silence excited people particularly the older generation that enjoyed their past musical exploits but for some, they welcomed the news with doubts.
The Blantyre-based group seems to be serious with the revival of its music mission as it has now made a fresh step bringing on the market a track.
The iconic band has released a single titled ‘Unstoppable’ under the management and production of legendary producer Tapps Bandawe.
This is a track that has fused what Tapps has described as the Malawian and international sound that Makasu Band has always been known for since formation many rains ago.
