Tiwonge Hango

New World

Tiwonge's new song urging change of behaviour, has been selected by the National Aids Commission of Malawi and will be played throughout the towns and rural areas as they tour the country trying to persuade people to be open about their HIV status and seek ARV treatment.

Full of optimism, Tiwonge promises 'we will develop our Malawi and will make a new world'.

"I want to sing for Malawi, but I must not confine myself to the Malawian audience. I want to carry the Malawi music flag to the international scene…."

To realize this dream, Tiwonge is going to his roots. He has not forsaken the basic Malawi music. This gives the music an identity.

He fuses gule wamkulu, honala, mbotoska and chilimika with international elements – what he calls world music – with an Afro-jazz tradition
