According to the organizers, the concert is to be held at the Lilongwe Golf Club on December 21.
The reggae maestro is to share the stage with some local reggae artists like the Black Missionaries, Blasto and Trumale.
To gain experience, he took a job working with a travelling sound system , and performed songs during sound checks. He adopted the name Mad Killer, in an homage to one of his favourite artists, Bount Killer.
After being exposed to the Rastafarian movement his music began to take on a more positive tone, and he was encouraged by Capleton to take the name Fantan Mojah.
He is notable for being one of the new wave of contemporary reggae singers who prefer to include positive themes in their lyrics.
Like some popular new reggae singers, he is a Bobo Ashanti.
His faith is reflected in his lyrics, where some recurring themes are – praise for Jah and messages of Rastafari, positive portrayal of women, and condemnation of ill morals.
This is a contrast to many popular dancehall artists, who encourage “slackness” in their lyrics, with boasts of sexual prowess and derogatory messages to women.
The development comes nearly a month after another Jamaican reggae artist Luciano failed to show up for a slated Africa tour including Malawi which was supposed to be held on 19 October over the Ebola scare haunting the continent.
