Malawi: Celebrated Malawian artist, Jetu who is originally called Christina Khoriyo is set to entertain fans at a music gathering. The event has been dubbed Jetu’s Homecoming Party and is slated for December 24.
The music event will be hosted at Zharein Garden in Bangwe Township, Blantyre. Fans of the artist will attend the event in large numbers to see their idol perform.
Over the years Jetu had witnessed significant progress in her career through more YouTube views, performing in big shows and being nominated in several awards like MBC entertainers of the year and Maso awards.
The manager of the artist, who is also her grandson Madalitso Kazembe, famously known as Emmu Dee said they have organised this Homecoming Party to give Jetu the chance to spend the festive season and have fun with her fans.
“Since Jetu rose to fame, she had never performed in Bangwe, where she is based. After touring and performing in other places, we felt it was fitting for her to spend this festive season with her community,” he said.
Emmu Dee, who was recently awarded by Royal Arts for his effort in protecting and supporting the elderly, urged people in Bangwe Township and all music enthusiasts to support the event.
He promised that they will deliver a great experience for all the fans of the artist. He said that Jetu is ready to set the place ablaze and will give a special performance of her newly released song titled Waimanya.
“Entertainment lovers will have the privilege to watch Jetu performing Waimanya for the first time. The song has never been played on stage since its release,” he added.
Guntolah, one of the artists set to perform on the day, confirmed his participation, stating that it will be an opportunity to celebrate her success.
He observed that the lineup is dominated by artists from Bangwe Township, signifying Jetu’s big celebration at home.
“People should come to celebrate with their artist. Jetu’s performance has been enjoyed by people from other areas while people from her home had never had a taste of it,” Guntolah added.
Other artists that will perform on the day include Zonke Too Fresh, Dyonkhwe, Inkosi Jay Vee, Mbuka Man, Bangwe King, Princo Beib and many more.
A similar event will also be held on Christmas day at Mulanje View Motel in Mulanje where Jetu used to stay before relocating to Bangwe.
