Madalitso Band on second Europe Tour: England shows set for July 26 to August 4

Barely after a year, the self acclaimed intuitive, authentic, and full of ruthless rhythms, Malawian Madalitso Band has again stormed Europe on a tour which took off on June 6 up to August.

Speaking to Nyasa Times, Madalitso Band Tour Manager Neil Nayar said the tour had come by public demand.
“Madalitso Band is an authentic to the core and is coming to Europe once again after demand from clubs and festivals everywhere,” Nayar said.
Commenting on the band’s background, The Tour Manager further said that the traditional duo who in the last year have been featured on BBC Africa, and performed at such festivals as Roskilde in Denmark, were first discovered by a local producer busking outside a shopping centre in Lilongwe in 2009.
Nayar added: “The connection that the musicians gained with each other through living this way for 10 years is evident in the way they burst onto the scene, after their very first performance outside Malawi, in 2017, at Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar.
“6 months later and they were on an aeroplane for the first time in their lives, to do a 2 week European tour, and wow audiences with their down-to-earth nature, and raw on-stage energy.”
Nayar then revealed that a new album is being released in March 2019 under Bongo Joe Records, a label from Geneva, who instantly fell in love with the Madalitso ethos.
“The music inside Madalitso Band is so strong, and it comes out effortlessly, full of syncopated rhythms, lush harmonies and a solid back beat.
Two nice guys from the village in Malawi, smiling their way around the world and bringing dancefloors to life,” Nayar said.
