Giddes Chalamanda

79 year-old acoustic guitarist Giddes Chalamanda, winner of the ‘Best Folklore’ category at this year’s Malawi Music Awards, is another veteran of the Malawian music scene. An idol for many younger Malawian artists, his influence on the local scene is undoubtedly great.

    I can’t explain the feeling. A Giddes i like your style and i will like your songs even after my passing. Very, very rare talent. You deserve a PhD from the Department of Fine Arts at Chanco or u Ngwazi from chief M’belwa of Mzimba
