MOVE - Band

MOVE-band consists of five Malawian artists, four of whom are part of MOVE—an exchange program for young musicians and organizers from Norway, Malawi, and Brazil. In Trondheim, these four musicians soon met Rosha Vole—a bassist from Malawi—and formed MOVE-band, a group that has already performed at several festivals and events.

The contemporary music scene in Malawi is a dynamic blend of indigenous rhythms, South African jazz, kwela (skiffle), reggae, and Afrobeats; it frequently features vocal harmonies and call-and-response patterns, offering the audience a wonderful way to participate. Knowing this group, their music is sure to speak directly to the heart and body—we are really looking forward to it!
