Madalitso Band

“Ma Gitala encompasses all that have made Madalitso Band internationally known:
upbeat folk melodies infused with accelerating, percussive rhythms, daring the
listener not to dance. On this record, however, they have taken this infectious spirit
one step further by featuring several guests…capturing a sense of joy and
playfulness, that will have audiences beaming” Songlines (UK) 

“This Malawian duo deserve a nod simply for playing the most unique instrument at
the entire Glastonbury Festival in 2025: a single-string bass known as a babatoni,
which underpins their sweet East African folk tunes” Metro (UK) 

“It would be hard not to feel uplifted by the infectiously joyous music made by
Madalitso Band…it’s those fast, driving, relentlessly happy street jams that really
grab the heart….We’re blessed to have them” New Internationalist (UK) 

"This is foot-stomping stuff” ★★★★★ Morning Star (UK)
