about

Music by the Cewa, Mang'anja, and Yao peoples - the plucked bangwe zither, an extraordinary malipenga kazoo big band, magnificent likhuba tuned drums, brilliant magogodo xylophone playing, a capella singing by both men and women. Just some of the vibrant diversity from this half of Malawi in the 1950s.
