Musician Peter Mawanga is in United States of America (USA) where he is holding shows with USA artist Andrew Finn Magill.<\/p>\n
Mawanga said on Friday that he left two weeks ago for USA for a tour dubbed African Fiddle Fusion.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time for Mawanga to perform in USA as, last year, he also made a tour with his Amaravi Movement alongside Faith Mussa.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am performing a duet with Andrew Finn Magill. Andrew and I will also be writing new songs during this tour,\u201d Mawanga said.<\/p>\n
The shows were expected to start on Saturday at Capon Bridge\u2014 to run up to March 4 2018.<\/p>\n
Other places Mawanga and Magill are expected to perform at include Washington DC and Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time for Mawanga and Magill to work together as their relationship can be traced to 2011.<\/p>\n
In 2009, Magill received a Fulbright- Fellowship to co-write and co-produce an album with Mawanga that musically captures 10 experiences of HIV and Aids through songs in Malawi.<\/p>\n
The album is titled Mau A Malawi: Stories of Aids <\/em>and was released in 2011.<\/p>\n The \u2018Amakhala Ku Blantyre\u2019 composer said it is always a pleasure for him to perform in USA as he flies Malawi\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n A self-proclaimed \u2018Voice of the Voiceless\u2019, Mawanga has used musicto speak for the under-privileged.<\/p>\n Fusing the rock outfit of drums-bass-guitar with the traditional sounds of Malawi\u2019s marimba, thumb piano, and percussion, Mawanga said his music is Afro-vibes.<\/p>\n \u201cMy music is modern African sound that is intrinsically Malawian,\u201d said the singer and guitarist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Musician Peter Mawanga is in United States of America (USA) where he is holding shows with USA artist Andrew Finn Magill.
