Enjoy the joyous sound of the Malawian duo as they blend homemade instruments with irresistible vocal harmonies at this outdoor show.
The Madalitso Band are a two man musical army from Malawi. Described as ‘Uplifting and Vibrant’ by the BBC, they get crowds beaming with wonder and moving with joy every time. Their first album was produced by Bongo Joe records and the band has already performed at Glastonbury, Womex, Womad, Roskilde, Sauti Za Busara, Shambala, Boomtown…to name just a few.
The band plays the babatone – a popular home-made instrument in Malawi – and the four-string guitar, creating the traditional Malawian ‘banjo’ sound. When not playing or touring, babatone player Yobu Malinga works as a gardener and guitarist Yosefe Kalekeni works as a security guard, however around Malawi they are increasingly revered as musical prophets.
