MADALITSO BAND

“Intuitive, authentic, and full of ruthless rhythms, Madalitso will make you clap,
dance, smile and dance some more.” It's been an extraordinary few years for
this dance folk duo, who until 2017, hadn't left their native Malawi. The decade
spent roaming the streets as a pair, and perfecting their home-made
instruments and vibrant playing style, seems to have paid off - since their first
performance on an international stage at Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar 7 years
ago, the rollercoaster ride hasn't stopped!
After 6 European tours, with concerts at WOMAD, Roskilde and WOMEX, in
April 2023 the band finally put together their first national tour of Malawi followed by the first tour of the USA. With all these performances - 320 international concerts since 2017 - the band
is gradually growing a small but dedicated fanbase from all corners of the globe.
With a documentary of their journey set for release in 2025, plus a new album with their Geneva based label Bongo Joe, and a 4 month European Tour upcoming perhaps now is the time to step up to another level!
