K’millian to perform live in Malawi

Share

Celebrated Zambian music sensation K’millian is this weekend expected in Blantyre, Malawi where he will join the crème of top African musicians, 2 Face of Nigeria, Nameless of Kenya and Jozi of South Africa at the Ethel Mutharika Memorial Music Festival.

K’millian who arrives in Malawi on Thursday night is expected to perform live alongside the three other
international artists, 2 Face, Nameless and Jozi at the memorial service of president Bingu wa Mutharika’s
late wife, Ethel, who died last year.

K’millian whose music enjoys massive airplay in night clubs, public and private radio stations in Malawi has
won the hearts of several fans who confirmed in separate interviews that they could not wait to see
him perform live.

The show that is slated for Saturday, May 3rd at Limbe Country Club starting at 10 hours to 18 hours will be
hosted by Channel O and Big Brother Africa 2 presenter Kabelo.

The much publicised event that has been pegged at MK 500 approximately ZK 20,000 )will also accommodate the launch of Malawi’s music hip-hop icon Tay Grin’s album ‘Proudly African.’

Confirming the development in an interview with ZANIS , show organiser Tay Grin disclosed that K’millian is together with other musicians expected to sign autographs at an upmarket joint in Blantyre, Kaya Lodge, starting from 20:00 hours to 22: 00 hours
before proceeding to newly opened exclusive Club Mustang Sally for an after party show.

And Esther Mwase, a DJ at privately owned Capital FM said the going of K’millian to Malawi is a blessing to the majority of fans that love his music.

Mwase disclosed that fans love listening to tracks from K’millian’s Sun Shine album especially those songs that contain some Nyanja lyrics as most Malawians understand the language.

” I receive a lot of requests from fans whenever am on the radio demanding me to play songs done by K’millian. His songs are so nice especially that they contain some bit of Nyanja which is not different from the Chewa that we speak here,” Mwase revealed.

She added that besides K’millian music, fanatics in Malawi have continued to get mesmerised by music done by The Third, Danny, as well as Jimmy’s Its Over Over song which she described as the hottest as the moment.

Several visits to Malawi’s hot night spots namely The Elephant night club, Chez Ntemba and Blue Diamond have revealed that a number of Zambian songs get played on a regular basis with so much appreciation shown among Malawi music lovers.

Perhaps the first Zambian musician to make a mark on Malawi’s scene was Danny a few years ago with his hit
Yakumbuyo, which was later banned by Malawi’s Censorship Board, which deemed his lyrics offensive.

However, some nightclubs and individuals continued to play the song, in defiance of the ban, in a clear testimony that the music was popular with many Malawians across the country.

  1. The guy’s music is also hot here in RUSSIA from his latest true colors album, we shall organise another gig here too.

  2. The Nazi’s in Russia would never listen to Zambian music, unless #. B the 16th means that Zambian students in Russia dig K’ Millians music.
    People in Zambia pronounce K’ Millian as “KAMILIONI” as in Chameleon , musicians should choose simple names that can be pronounced easily by Zambians. When i heard of this name i thought it was a white guy or mixed race person.

  3. Oh Kwaku get real. who cares how its pronounced, we love the music regardless. don’t overcomplicate a simple issue, no one brought race in. its about the music. When you say K’Millian among Zambians everyone knows who you’re talking about; the pronunciation does not matter.

    Shout out to K’Millian! your album is hot. Zambians in the US love it and of course we’re spreading the word for you!

  4. This is good news. At least his music is not confined to Zambia and Zambians only. The good part is Chi-Chewa sounds like Nyanja so at least people can understand more than 50% of what he sings about. This is very good news. Congratulations K’Millian

  5. #1, the only way Russians can listen to K’millian is in an igloo. Even I don’t listen to him – the overrated lump of cunt.

  6. Kalumba you’re an example of a typical fool, why should names or things be pronounced wrongly when there is a proper way to do it i can’t follow the logic but then, you are from the FOLOKO & SUPUNI clan not capable of critical thinking what can anyone expect from you.

  7. Am also enjoying the music in Australia on ukzambians.co.uk. Like kalumbu #8 says, we really spreading the word for you. All the best.

  8. his music belongs in the trash can….every song on every album sounds like an extended version of mukabene…..we urgently need art schools in zed if things are to improve!! na bwalya ( joe and maiza)..now thats one hot song!! but them too have fallen off!

  9. I am one person who has enjoyed zambian music and I have liked K’millian’s songs. Its true that zambiam music has taken over the show in malawi beacuse of the love messages unlike malawian songs, which are full of complaints, poverty lyrics and such boring stuff.

  10. wow thats hotttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!k’milllian rocks am eva so proud to be zambian lol!!!!!!!!!!1

  11. you guys are broke thats why you are being rude K,millian is a good singer lets promote our own,don,t allow these poverty striken guys like #14,#15,#3 kwuka the nazi were Germanys and not Russians get a life

  12. struggling comedian you are worthless piece of trash that y its so easy for you to call K,millian a lump of your mothers smelly privites how did you father manage to stand the smell l,m sure you came out of your mums smelly ass hole not her lump of a cunt they are igloos here

  13. K’millian is excellent in the studio but really pathetic when performing live…he cant sing live..he just bloody mimes…K’millian pull up ur stage ACT!!!!!…otherwise i luv your music!

  14. #20. Your insults are as terrible as your taste in music. Don’t post comments with one hand typing and other jacking off to K’millian. Simply put, you’re the Lusaka Times village *****. Russia?? Spare me, you’re as good as a lamp post over there mate.

  15. #20 are you really Zambian or what? How can you insult like that man, when you aren’t even a Niggar. Didn’t your mama ever teach you to respect mothers. Grow up man!

  16. ‘…MK 500 approximately ZK 20,000 )….”

    This interesting. GRZ, please work towards improving the exchange rate. It is difficulty to understand how the Malawian Kwacha can be that stronger on comparison to the Zambian one.

    Just as a matter of interest, what activities does the Malawian govern do to maintain their
    kwacha to that level. This information can/could help us -Zambians – know how to manage our plentiful resources.

  17. Someone said “two wrongs do not make a right”. Another said, “teaching begets more teachers.”

    lets try to uplift a certain decent level of conducting ourselves fellow Zedians.

  18. I agree with number 21, Kmillian is very good in the studio but when performing live he is awfully different. I like Danny’s live shows. All the same BIG UP K’millian

  19. Ba Satana, if u think u are better tha K’millian, fumyenu utuma album twenu and the next thing u will see are multitudes seeking lung treatment after laughing at your pu.ssy cat voices. *****s!

  20. ‘…MK 500 approximately ZK 20,000 )….”#26. shame! on us in the COMESA region we have the highest exchange rate from zimbabwe, in kenya,uganda,Sudan is 65ksh,1750ush & 200SDP respectively the others we cant even talk.The govt should consider dropping one zero from our useless kwacha like the Nigerians did then it can be K380 instead of K3800 to a dollar.Its shamefull t even say your rate to other foreigners.
    BamaGANDE TWAFWENIKO UKUSEBANA???

  21. Malawi, the province of Zambia likes Zambian music too much. Big up Zed music. Zambia’s top performers in terms of live performance in my opinion include Maureen Lilanda, the Sakala Brothers and Leo Muntu. The rest like K’Millian are good in the studio but not very good performing live but the music still sounds good. The person I don’t understand is Danny, why has he got two boys (who act like girls) as his ‘dancing’ girls? Is Danny gay or what? I think he was singing about himself in that Yakumbuyo track coz his performance and his own songs don’t add up.

  22. #31. I truly think you are on the ball. Let GRZ seek some way of reducing the embarassment we are seeing on here. One zero can certainly go/ be taken away.

  23. Iwe chi struggling comedian get a life!!! just because you dont manage to listen to k`millian because of the poor radio network in your ka small hut in shan`gombo doesn`t mean russians cnt listen to it. we,as ambassadors of zambia in russia promote our music and culture and i can assure you that they like it. DUH!!

  24. struggling comedian l wonder whose PC you are using post a comment at 8pm you don,t have a life, look at the rubbish you put on the net, do you really know what a village ***** is take a close look at you family you are a bunch of *****s

  25. Nyati RSA… how come you allow the clown struggling comedian to insult k,millian ?you are proud to be a nigger? ooh by the way you ain,t no nigger you are an african; niggers were slaves, be proud man

  26. Ba Struggling comedian you didn,t take the challenge viktor in Russia put out to you. Are you now in a one room you share with 5 others,going to look for a PC to borrow to come up with your rubbish

  27. # 17 .Malawians are no longer singing about poverty, that kind of music is only confined to the villages,in the Cities we listen to love songs and the like which is also done by our fellow malawians, I think the same applies to every Country, you have people always singing about the cops in the Ghetto areas of the US, cause thats what they worry about, same with people in the villages, poverty is all they worry about.

  28. It was a pleasure having K Millian at Club Mastung Sally and everytime his song OVER Over comes on,you know people are going to dance even if they didn’t want to. He is such a gentle soul and we loved having him. He is our brother we understand his songs.
    Thanks to everyone who attended the event at Club Mastung Sally.
    To those of you who haven’t been to Club Mastung Sally, hurry up K Millian songs will be waiting for you. Its just the place to be. Be good.
    ON BEHALF OF CLUB MASTUNG SALLY

  29. K’millian you are rocking, we love you, keep up the good work you are so smooth, we just love you to bits, welcome to Stockholm.
