When Find Codi organised a music album media launch at Al Pacino in Blantyre on March 1 this year, the event was meant to establish the band\u2019s presence on the music scene.<\/p>\n
However, Find Codi has shown its intent to take a grip on the local music industry, as evidenced by its decision to launch two music videos, namely \u2018Mwezi Uwale\u2019 and \u2018Nanjiri\u2019 today.<\/p>\n
Chikondi Suleman, the face behind Find Codi, said yesterday that the two songs have been made available to all media houses in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means the songs are also available for public sampling,\u201d Chikondi said.<\/p>\n
The musician, who is being promoted by Nyimbo Music Company, has composed songs such as \u2018Sondela\u2019, \u2018Tukuka\u2019 and \u2018Wamisala\u2019.<\/p>\n
A review of the two music videos indicates that the two songs revolve around everyday occurrences and songs.<\/p>\n
For example, the first scene in \u2018Mwezi Uwale\u2019 depicts primary school learners in uniform singing \u2018Mwezi uwale tisewere tiimbe\u2019. <\/em>It is a common song in the country.<\/p>\n It portrays the moon, and the appearance of the same, as the genesis of all happiness. The moon, in full flower, casts away all forms of darkness\u2014 be it loneliness, anger, sadness, anxiety\u2014 and replaces it with merry-making mood.<\/p>\n In other words, the moon builds a universe where happiness is the order of the day and night and melancholy has no chance.<\/p>\n All scenes in \u2018Mwezi Uwale\u2019, which is in both English and Chichewa, depict local artefacts such as winnowing baskets, and all these are thrown into the picture to paint a picture that is uniquely local.<\/p>\n Then there is \u2018Nanjiri\u2019, which revolves around a persona who has found love.<\/p>\n As per custom, the new-found partner has to be introduced to the love-smitten female persona\u2019s blood relations.<\/p>\n The video, therefore, takes one through the path the would-be bride groom takes to reach the female persona\u2019s home village. A road sign that reads \u2018Nanjiri\u2019 is thrown into the picture as the bride-groom-to-be meets the people who will soon become members of his extended family.<\/p>\n To marry one is to marry all, that seems to be the theme.<\/p>\n Of course, the short of the \u2018Nanjiri\u2019 music video is that there are more children than adults, even where the presence of adults\u2014 during dances after the new lover is introduced to blood relations of the partner\u2014 would have served the purpose better.<\/p>\n Whatever the case, Find Codi is here and, like the male persona who is introduced to the female persona\u2019s blood relations, is here to stay. Malawians are, in this case, members of Find Codi\u2019s extended family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Find Codi organised a music album media launch at Al Pacino in Blantyre on March 1 this year, the event was meant to establish the band\u2019s presence on the music scene.
