Spare Dog Records on BBC ‘Focus on Africa’
Mattias has been interviewed on BBC ‘Focus on Africa’ from London and it’s airing today, Wednesday the 26th of November, at 17.15 and 19.15 GMT time (19.15 and 21.15 Malawi time). He’s talking about the record company and about the release of Danny Kalima’s album ‘The Young shall grow’. Listen Live on-line from here or if you are in Africa – just turn the radio on to BBC World Service.
‘Dusty City’ music video is released
This is Lilongwe, the capital city of the Warm Heart of Africa – Malawi. We want to share great African music with the world, so let Danny Kalima take you to the city he calls home.
This music video, like the album ‘The Young Shall Grow’, has been produced in Malawi by Moto Wambili Studios in Nkhata Bay. For this video, though, we’ve gotten some help from A-J Leaper and Jeandre Pieterse with great camera work and direction on location in Lilongwe – some 5 hours away from the Bay.
Not only does Spare Dog Records bring you the sounds of Malawi, we also bring you the sights!
