Black Missionaries

The Blacks are back! Reggae giants and regular festival headliners Black Missionaries are back to headline the festival in 2011. They are live legends in their native Malawi and never fail to draw a crowd with their take on reggae and their story-telling lyrics. Expect to be singing along by the end of their set even if you haven't heard the songs before. Black Missionaries’ band leader Anjiru Fumalani has been quoted before in the lead-up to a gig that people ‘should expect to break their bones with dancing during the show’, which definitely says something about how much their music will compel you to dance. Black Missionaries have performed at nearly every festival and Lake of Stars are proud to put the people’s favourites back on an international stage. The Blacks will also be gracing our stage a SECOND time for a DJ set, just in case one helping of them wasn’t enough.
