Nyimbo Music Company (NMC), one of the entertainment firms in Malawi has  also started an online radio (www.radionyimbo.com)  which is streaming the country’s music globally.

“There is an already excited market of listeners out there in diaspora hungry for the classic Malawian music,” Daud Suleman the  radio’s boss told Nyasa Times.

“Radio Nyimbo will be closely linked to another online music store from Nyimbo which will enable listeners to listen to a song, search for it and buy it online, regardless of them being in Malawi or outside Malawi.

“[This] opens up a new market to artists, which is cheap to tap into plus cost of delivering the product is by far reduced hence increasing the profit margin to the artist,” Suleman said.

As indicated by Suleman, the online music store is currently under advanced development and will soon be released.
