Black Lion & Heat Wav - Live @ WAYO (5/26/24)

Black Lion (‪@blacklionreggae84‬) & the Heat Wav band (@black_lion_apatsa_kwilimbe on Instagram) joined us in-studio at WAYO for a Live @ WAYO session on 5/26/24 hosted by WAYO's Chris O'Brian of Extra Life Music (Mondays 11a-noon).
"Apatsa Kwilimbe aka Black Lion is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, bassist, and drummer from Lilongwe, Malawi, currently residing in South Bend, Indiana. He is the son of musical legend Bernard Kwilimbe, and grew up traveling and watching his father play in the top national groups while absorbing a variety of styles and skills that have culminated into his unique sound. Kwilimbe delivers original songs in the reggae style while reflecting on themes of love, peace, and national pride. A well known recording artist in his home country, Kwilimbe has emigrated to the United States to share his music and expand artistically. Black Lion recently recorded a full length record, scheduled to be released in early 2025.
He was joined by Heat Wav Band which at its core consists of drummer John Thomas of Dream Team Live and James Searl of Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad. The two together bring a fiery mix of Sly and Robbie meets Midnite. The slow and the low mixed with high energy urgency - bringing the sweat to the dance floor."
