A Malawian youth band that was launched in April known as Zathu has released a latest single and music video titled \u2018Sitigonja\u2019.<\/p>\n
The band spokesperson Zilanie Gondwe has described the video as unique, saying it is filmed in a way that fuses traditional Malawian music with modern instruments, arrangements and vocal production.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe video is a second in a series of narrative music videos released and follows the single \u2018Zimatere\u2019.<\/p>\n
The music video follows the Zathu Band\u2019s skills as they try to find their way to a special photo shoot,\u201d Gondwe said.<\/p>\n
She added:<\/p>\n
\u201cThey encounter numerous difficulties along their journey but work together to overcome them, challenging assumptions and stereotypes as they go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gondwe further said season one which comprised 12 weeks of radio programmes has had huge following and season two will commence later this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of young people are giving us feedback via messages. There is a lot of interaction on Facebook. This is more than a project for a short time, we are talking about behaviour change and this takes many years,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Gondwe said Zathu intends to be on the ground for many years.<\/p>\n
The band is made up of six members, Annetti the survivor, T-Reel the arrogant, Mphatso the strong one, JP the sensitive one, Xander the good guy and Chikondi the dreamer.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sitigonja\u2019 was released on July 24 and can be downloaded for free on Zathu Malawi page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
