Tikhu Vibrations

Tikhu Vibrations step out of Malawi's northern provinces to provide audiences with an explosive mix of traditional Malawi sounds and gospel rhythms. Their live performances capture audiences, with entertaining dance routines and one-of-a-kind costume changes, and a unique blend of traditional and modern instruments accompanied by rhythms and vocals both African and Western varieties. They went on their first tour beyond the African continent in the autumn of 2003, touring in Sweden, the UK and Norway. Shortly thereafter the band recorded its first album in Blantyre, Malawi, in collaboration with the Malawi singer Wambali Mkandawire. - Music Crossroads
