Jamaican music icon, Chris Martin, has arrived in the country this afternoon through Kamuzu International Airport (KIA).

The artist is one of the headliners for Lilongwe Music and Arts Festival which is starting today.

Speaking to the media, the musician said it felt great to be in Malawi for the first time and his fans should expect good vibes.

“I should say I love the whole idea of this show which is awareness of mental health and gender based-violence. I talk about violence against women and also mental health issues in my songs so, I am pleased to be part of this awareness,” he said.

Lifest is a music festival aimed at engaging artists in the fight against gender-based violence and mental health through their talents.
