Peter Mawanga & the Amaravi Movement make music inspired by traditional Malawian rhythms and instruments. Mawanga, known in his country as “the voice of the voiceless”, has a strong social conscience and is not afraid to speak out on behalf of the poor. Writing in his vernacular Chichewa, his socially conscious lyrics speak for Malawi’s underprivileged.

Fusing the rock outfit of drums-bass-guitar with the traditional sounds of Malawi’s marimba, thumb piano, and percussion, Mawanga’s Afro-vibes is a modern African sound that is intrinsically Malawian. Traditional melodies and rhythms form the backbone of original songs orchestrated with modern and traditional instruments. Mawanga and his premier band have been making headlines ever since their debut release Paphiri ndi Padambo (2009). petermawanga.com

“His music is simultaneously inspirational, introspective, spiritual and socially conscious.” ~ Music From Malawi, Nyimbo Zachimalawi
