South Africa award winning group, Freshly-Ground have emerged as first international act to headline this year’s Lake of Stars set for Chintheche Inn on the northern lakeshore.
In March organizers of the most celebrated music festival listed Lusubilo Band, Kora Awards nominee, Piksy and Patience Namadingo among the festival’s local acts headliners.
“We’re really excited to announce the first of our international headliners for this year’s festival…the incredible Freshly-ground!” announced organizers on their Facebook page.
Freshly-Ground, for years have been at the forefront of the music scene in Southern Africa with chart-topping tracks like ‘Waka Waka’, ‘Doo Be Doo’, and ‘Pot Belly’ followed up with their latest hits
‘Don’t Leave Me’ and ‘Army of One’.
An accomplished musical outfit known for their energetic live performances, Freshly-ground’s music has reached billions – and they will be performing live on the shores of Lake Malawi at Chintheche
Inn! in September this year.
Freshly-ground have been one of the greatest southern African acts for over a decade, but they rose to global fame with the hit ‘Waka Waka’ with Shakira as the official 2010 FIFA World Cup song.
Freshly-Ground have recently collaborated with Jack Parow to produce this fantastic new track with a great music video to match, recently nominated for the South African Music Awards (SAMAs).
Lake of Stars is a combination of music, poetry, and dance; and it give fun seekers opportunity to enjoy the beauty and the sparkle of waters of Lake Malawi.
The festival will start from Friday 30th September and run up to Sunday 2nd October 2016. Ayiba Magazine once listed Lake of Stars 2016 as one of the top festivals on the continent.
Hahaha! Some peoples ignorance is astounding! Iwe Nanaphiri, Chinthechi Inn is the birth place of the Lake of Stars festival.
Lake of stars used to take place at Chinthechi until the organizers decided to listen to less-moneyed people from Bt and Ls who complained that Chinthechi is too far for them.
