Umodzi Park Sales and Marketing Manager Matamando Chagunda said the company decided to collaborate with Lawi to bring Awilo whose songs are enjoyed by both the older and younger generations<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an opportunity for people to enjoy their favourite Awilo songs. He is the musician with diverse of people\u2019 ages. Therefore we are appeal to music lovers to patronise the show in April 29, 2023,\u201d said Chagunda.<\/p>\n
