The two-man acoustic juggernaut from Malawi, Madalitso Band, is on the move in 2025. With their fourth album, Ma Gitala (The Guitars), just released and a global tour, including Glastonbury, just starting, these rootsy, spirited street musicians from Lilongwe are winning hearts everywhere. In this episode, Mukwae meets the band members Yobu Maligwa, Yosefe Kalekeni, and their manager, Neil Nayar, in Malawi, as they begin to tour and takes a deep dive into their music. Then we speak with Salif Keita about his long-awaited acoustic album, So Kono, and what's happening in Mali. Produced by Mukwae Wabei Siyolwe and Banning Eyre.
