Gasper Nali is a roots one-man-band from the small town of Nkhata Bay on the shores of Lake Malawi. He plays a one-string home-made 3-metre long Babatoni bass guitar with a stick and an empty beer bottle, and together with a cow skin kick drum and catchy melodies, he creates the most amazing and danceable original Afro Beats possible!

Michael Mountain is a reggae poet and small-scale farmer. The front porch of his small house in the remote village of Viboko is his favourite place, and from there he can clearly see life from a different point of view, and put his reflections into song.

This is the maize field where I grow my crops to feed my family. We are outside Viboko village, far up in the hills of the Nkhata Bay Region, Malawi. The music you’re hearing is called Working With my Tools from the Nowhere Else To Go album. You can find it here: michaelmountain.bandcamp.com/
