Finally, we are releasing Gasper’s music video of the song A Bale Ndikuwuzeni that has already travelled around the Internet a time or two. A simple video of this very catchy tune, played on a huge home made bass guitar (Babatoni), was originally posted on the Facebook page ‘Latinos Post’ and reached almost 10 million views. (Click here to see the video!) The song has been posted in different places on the Internet under different names – the correct Chichewa name ‘A Bale Ndikuwuzeni’ has been misunderstood to be ‘Abale Ndikum Gem’ and even the cryptic ‘Африканский музыкант’.

Now Spare Dog Records are proud to present this fantastic song and musician in a proper studio recording and music video, recorded right here in Gasper’s home town of Nkhata Bay, Malawi!

The single is, as of now, available on Spotify and Amazon. (Click on link). Due to a technical hitch, the song is not yet available on iTunes, but we’ll let you know shortly when that is happening, just check out this space in a few days.

So please listen to this great track and enjoy the music video – share, tell your friends and please consider buying the track for a dollar and support Gasper Nali and Spare Dog Records!

New Single Coming Up!

Gasper Nali, a Nkhata Bay musician extraordinare, will release his first international single on Spare Dog Records. He is an internet phenomena of late with a video of him playing his song ‘A Bale Ndikuwuzeni’ five years ago, reaching a whopping 9 million views on a facebook page called Latinos Post. Click here to see the video!

If the song is hard to find on the internet it’s because of some confusion concerning the title! The correct Chichewa name ‘A Bale Ndikuwuzeni’ has been misunderstood to be ‘Abale Ndikum Gem’ and even the cryptic ‘Африканский музыкант’. But SDR is here to set the record straight!

Gasper plays a home made instrument called Babatoni – it’s a huge one string bass guitar played with a stick and an empty bottle, and the sound coming out is surely something special. This in combination with Gasper’s great voice and catchy tunes makes for a music experience you haven’t had before!

We have finished the recording of the first track, and it’s in the pipeline for release on all the major digital platforms for Monday 13 July. Spread the word people! This is the first professional recording of a very special musician who will surely make the world dance for many years to come!

A music video for the song will also be released together with the single.

Spare Dog Records will be moving it’s operations back to Malawi again! More music will be produced, new artists will be announced, and lots of new pictures and videos from The Warm Heart of Africa. Tickets are bought, and we’ll touch down in Lilongwe on the 16th April. Follow us on Facebook & Twitter (buttons to the left) to see where our journey will take us next!

Official music video for the track ‘Nkhawa’ from ‘The Young Shall Grow’ album. Produced & filmed in Lilongwe by Ahmed White Abudu, Satellite Entertainment, in 2014.

Far from the bustling city of Lilongwe, Michael Mountain sings about a different Malawi. His life as a small-scale farmer in a small mountain village is more akin to the lifestyle of the majority of Malawians. In this official music video, he’s showing you his world.

‘Nowhere Else To Go’ is the title track of his newly released album, and the video was filmed on location in the Nkhata Bay region of Northern Malawi.
