Africa-Press – Malawi. Malawian music star Tay Grin says his proposed Malawi-Zambia Culture Exchange is all about love, rhythm, and unity — not competition.
The award-winning musician and Tourism Ambassador recently took to his social media pages to challenge Zambia to a “Culture Exchange” — bringing together 11 artists from each country to share one stage and celebrate African creativity.
“This is not a battle; it’s a celebration — a fusion of sounds, dances, and traditions that remind us Malawi and Zambia are one family,” Tay Grin said. “We’re not here to compete; we’re here to connect.”
The post has since sparked excitement among fans from both countries, with many describing it as a groundbreaking idea that could redefine cultural collaboration in Southern Africa.
Tay Grin, real name Limbani Kalilani, says the concept aims to build stronger creative economies by promoting partnerships between artists while boosting tourism and regional pride.
“When we perform together, we exchange ideas, audiences, and opportunities,” he explained. “That’s how we grow the industry and strengthen our creative economies.”
Fresh from his Echoes of Greatness concert in Lilongwe — which attracted fans from across Southern and Eastern Africa — the musician continues to use his platform to promote culture and tourism through music.
His latest international track, Combien?, features Awilo Longomba and Eddie Kadi, adding to collaborations with Wizkid, Vanessa Mdee, DA LES, Orezi, the Jamaican-American duo Brick & Lace, and Zambia’s Yo Maps, K’Millian, and Slapdee.
“Music is one of our greatest diplomatic tools,” Tay Grin said. “If we use it right, we won’t just unite nations — we’ll redefine what African unity looks like.”
