about

Katawa Singers from Mzuzu in the Northern Region of Malawi are pundits of the local scene. They have designed and delivered the electronic gospel sound that dominates the country ever since. It all started by accident. The choir that collected money for the erection of the new Presbyterian church in the Katawa area received a Yamaha keyboard from a foreign donor. What followed next is the result of the musicality, inventiveness and artistic sense of artists who quickly gain acclaim. Since then, Katawa Singers have recorded a dozen releases, toured around Malawi, playing at festivals and prayer gatherings. The album compiles their first albums recorded into one stereo track at studios in Blantyre and Lilongwe. The band's success has inspired many epigones to set up groups aiming to utilize electronic instruments. It is an unfinished process because up to this day Christian choirs from big cities and remote villages struggle to buy electronic keys to displace allegedly outdated African drums or acapella.
