Lucius Banda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucius Banda is a Malawian musician and politician. Until August 2006, he was a MP for the district of Balaka North, but lost his seat because he was convicted of having fake academic qualifications. He was sentenced to 21 months of hard labour in Zomba prison, but released in November 2006, three months and two appeals after his arrest.
Banda started his musical career in the band Alleluya, but later formed his own band, Zembani. He has been host to many popular musicians, starting off the careers of Mlaka Maliro, Paul Chaphuka and Anthony Makondetsa. He now has around 16 albums of his own.
