Renowned Malawian poet Robert Chiwamba and reggae musician Sangie have released a new joint project titled "Chikondano", according to Nation Online. Based on a Christian hymn, the track blends spoken word poetry with music.
While mixing such different genres is generally uncommon in the local entertainment sector, this release marks the third time the pair has collaborated. Nation Online reports that "Chikondano" follows their previous joint tracks "Ngwazi Zazikazi" and "Mtanda". The project successfully merges Chiwamba's poetry with the style of Sangie, who is widely recognised as a leading female reggae artist in Malawi's male-dominated music industry.
