Download [REPACK] Malawi Gospel Songs

Gospel music is one of Malawi's most popular music forms. It became popular in the 1990s. Pope John Paul II's 1989 visit did much to inspire the rise in gospel music, which was also fueled by the country's economic conditions and poverty. Popular Malawian gospel artists include Ndirande Anglican Voices, Ethel Kamwendo-Banda, Grace Chinga, Lloyd Phiri, George Mkandawire, and the Chitheka Family.[7]

As some secular artists become 'born again', Malawi has seen a rise in the diversification of gospel music, particularly in the urban genre. Early hip-hop rappers include Chart Rock and The Strategy. Currently,[when?] David (formerly Stix from Real Elements, KBG, the founder of NyaLimuziK,[8] and Gosple (Aubrey Mvula) [9] are now the leaders in this form of gospel rap.[7]

As we[who?] continue analysing the impact and growth of gospel hip hop or urban music, we cannot just go without mentioning two other up-coming members in this section; based in Lilongwe, the popularly known area 18 youthful crew, the Brothers In Christ (BIC) and the King of Malawi Gospel House beatz DJ Kali have taken the spreading of the gospel to greater heights.[citation needed]

Original voices have always surfaced in Malawi, such as that of Stonard Lungu, who played raw songs of urban struggle and political protest on an untuned box guitar. Listen out and you may catch the next musical star rising.

Nowadays Anthony Makondetsa, Lucius Banda and the Black Missionaries keep the flag flying for Malawian reggae. Patience Namidingo sings contemporary gospel, charismatic younger artist Suffix delivers high-energy gospel hip hop in English and Chichewa, and hugely successful hip-hop artist Tay Grin produces super-slick videos.

I do not mean to disparage, but Malawi music, if at all we have something near to that, sometimes sucks. We all have our tastes right and mine is just generally geared to instruments instead of shouting, which is the mainstay of Malawian songs.

Why am I ranting about music this week, you may ask? Well, this week someone in the office was playing gospel music and I could hardly concentrate as the music was so poor and irritating to the ear. I cannot remember the song, but the beat was more or less like South African gospel music and the vocalist was out of tune from the beginning to the end.

This text provides an overview of gospel music in Malawi. Following voyages of David Livingstone and other British missionaries in the 1800s, Malawi was made a British protectorate on 14 May 1891[i]. The coming of the missionaries diluted and changed the cultural practices that were there already. Most of the major Christian sects are represented in Malawi. Until the 1990s, the dominant sects were Catholics, Presbyterians and Adventists. Musically they were very traditional and gospel music at the time was synonymous with choral performances.

In 1978 Banda and the Alleluya Band recorded an album Malilime, but it was not sold until 1990, when Banda negotiated with OG Issa, who at the time was making and selling mixtapes of foreign music. It became the first group to distribute music with a local distributor in Malawi.[v]This posed an opportunity to other local musicians and as a result, gospel music, which had until then been viewed as only church music, went commercial.

South African beat: South African gospel musicians such as Sipho Makhabane, Desmond Dube and Rebecca Malope have been idolized and used as source of inspiration for Malawian artists Grace Chinga, Lloyd Phiri and Allan Chirwa. This remains the most popular beat for Malawian gospel music and makes up a large portion of the gospel music fanbase.

Urban: Urban genres such as hip-hop, RnB and dancehall have slowly risen into the mainstream, although there is still some resistance by the industry to accept them. Artists such as David Kalirani, KBG, Liwu, Gosple and Jay Josh have been making strides in widening the fanbase of urban gospel music. Live events have also been instrumental in increasing recognition of urban gospel music in Malawi. For example, Live Wise and Die Ready concert in Blantyre in 2013 was headlined by American Christian hip-hop artist Bizzle, Da Tuth while the Cross Movement Concert in 2011 was headlined by American Christian hip-hop artists Lecrae.

Country and Western: Country and western is one of the minor subgenres in Malawian gospel. It takes up a small portion of the fanbase. Two notable country artists who were inspired by American country greats such as Jim Reeves and Kenny Rodgers are Allan Ngumuya and Sweeney Chimkango who rocked the airwaves from the 1980s to the end of the millennium.

Brennan struck a deal with prison officials in Malawi that he would give workshops on conflict prevention to inmates while getting the chance to record their haunting hymns and traditional songs. The prisoners were paid in money, clothes and other commissary items, all handled by the guards.

Stroupe began to make changes. He added something to the worship service that he calls "a sharing of concerns and joys" where congregation members stand up and tell anecdotes from their lives. "It's a way to get some of the spontaneity of the black church into our service," he says. "It's also a way for people to see that our lives are more alike than we think." At Palm Sunday service, a black woman got up to say she believes in miracles because the last of several boys in her family was graduating from college, despite the fact that so many young black men are on drugs, in jail or dead. Stroupe also changed Oakhurst's music, switching from stiffer Presbyterian hymns to songs from the black gospel tradition. At first the choir director resisted, purposefully playing off tune during gospel hymns. Now the church has its own mostly black gospel choir. No one in it knows how to read music, but they learn songs "by ear" and sing them from the heart. And, by most accounts, the music is heavenly.

The mayor of Decatur attends Oakhurst, as do some affluent white gays who have settled in the area. "When you come here, you are going to shake the hand of somebody you don't know and would not normally meet," says Stroupe. "We are proclaiming a different reality." This month, Stroupe is releasing a new book on ethnicity in America titled While We Run This Race: Countering the Power of Racism. But the real lesson of Oakhurst isn't on a page, it's in the spirit of the gospel music swelling out of the church every Sunday at 11 a.m. Anyone who wants to learn this tune is going to have to do it by ear. 17dc91bb1f
