A review of Malawian music on the Voice of America (VoA)

Matthew LaVoie of the Voice of America blogs about the journey of Malawi music from the 1960's to present. He starts his post by writing:

Read the whole review at http://www.voanews.com/ and be sure to dance to some of the tracks posted there. I am using Mozilla Firefox and am able to play the music there.

Mixing business with pleasure. Malawi moto...!!!
