On Monday, 24th July, the youthful Band released ‘Sitigonja’ audio and video.

‘Sitigonja’ is the second in a series of narrative music videos released and follows the single, ‘Zimatere Zimatere’ which was released earlier this year.

According to a statement, ‘Sitigonja’ music video follows Zathu Band as they try to find their way to a special photoshoot.

“They encounter numerous difficulties along their journey but work together to overcome them; challenging assumptions and stereotypes as they go,” reads the statement in part.

The statement further added, “The song is the latest single and music video released by Zathu, a Malawian youth brand launched this April. ‘Sitigonja’ is performed by the Zathu Band; whose sound is totally unique. Their music fuses traditional Malawian music with modern instruments, arrangements and vocal production, creating a sound that is at once fresh, upbeat and distinctly Malawian.”

The Zathu Band is made up of Zathu’s six main characters: Annetti [The Survivor], T-Reel [The Arrogant One], Mphatso [The Strong One], JP [The Sensitive One], Xander [The Good Guy] and Chikondi [The Dreamer]. These six characters also appear in a radio drama that forms part of
Zathu Pa Wailesi, a radio show aired on Saturday on MBC2 at 5pm, and on Sunday on Zodiak at 1:30pm. The show is hosted by the brilliant Lily Banda and DJ Goxy.

Aside from the Zathu Band’s music and hit drama, the show includes:  music from other leading Malawian and international artists; the chance for audiences to be heard in the feature ‘Timve Kwa Inu’; and advice from Zathu’s Gogo, who answers young people’s questions on topics from puberty to friendship. Young people can SMS Gogo questions on 0888353535 or 0999353535.
