Soldier, a veteran artist, has observed a growing trend in Malawi, with locals increasingly supporting homegrown music, particularly urban tracks.

Emphasizing the potential of the local music scene, Banda stressed the importance of Malawian artists striving for international recognition, including airplay and bookings on the global stage.

“We have an abundance of exceptional musical talent, and our industry is on the rise. It’s high time for artists to consider exporting their music,” said Banda.
