“A great man has gone!” One of Malawi’s top musicians, a legend who entertained Malawians for decades and opened paths for other artists, Soldier Lucius Banda was the Man.
Since the announcement of his death yesterday, several artists have paid tribute to the legendary musician.
Here is how artists are mourning him…
Billy Kaunda; A great man has gone! . I cannot begin to explain how far back I come with Soldier Lucius Banda. What first connected us in mid-1990s were my music ambitions. After recording ‘Mwapindulanji?’ album in 1997, we worked together when I joined Zembani Band. As they say, the rest is history.
