Biography

The Black MIssionaries are a popular Malawian reggae band. Founded by Evison Matafale in the mid-1990s, the band has survived the deaths of two band leaders, and currently tours Malawi extensively with front man Anjilu Fumulani.

He died of TB.

They have eight albums, Kuimba I - VIII, and perform in concerts across the country, often singing about love and rastafari issues.
