On Monday, organisers of the event will screen the Under African Skies documentary at the Living Room Cafe as part the dinner and a movie series.

The film follows Paul Simon as he returns to South Africa to reunite the Graceland team, including Phiri, for a 25th anniversary concert.

“This special edition of movie and dinner is the perfect way to get ready for the Ray Phiri concert. Find out more about Ray’s connections with Paul Simon and how he contributed to tracks like Graceland and Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. The Living Room Cafe will be offering deals on meals, drinks and popcorn so get ready and grab a seat. The film starts at 8pm,” says one of the organisers Fiona Odala.

Phiri is using the trip to Malawi as a way to reconnect with his roots. n
