Kell Kay’s latest afro-beat track, “Ndatopa,” has received only 410K views within two weeks of its release on a reputable YouTube channel, which falls short of the million-view mark. This slow performance stands in stark contrast to his previous hit, “Bana Pwanya,” featuring Zambian artists Yo Maps and Prince Love, which has amassed over 21 million views, making it the most viewed song in the history of Malawian music. Transitioning to the essence of “Ndatopa,” the 4:07-minute track emphasizes the importance of honesty in relationships and aims to resonate deeply with listeners who have faced emotional challenges. While the message is uplifting, the song’s streaming numbers across various platforms have been sluggish, “like watching paint dry,” especially when compared to Kell Kay’s earlier successes.

“We are looking at the Obulo Bwaffe folklore through a contemporary feminist lens”, Kazungu said. “We are celebrating the power, knowledge and unwavering agency of women.” Sandra Suubi refused a microphone, and for long periods did not say anything. But her gown-like outfit made of woven mats and bark cloth became the centre of attention as the Obulo Bwaffe art festival was launched at the Alliance Française basement on Women’s Day. Suubi, also a musician, was a featured performer at the launch, along with a singer (Afrie) and two spoken-word artists (Zoe and Afroetry).

She called the whole ensemble (which included herself) Nalongo, which pointed to the mother of the twins in the folk song Twelire Obulo Bwaffe, from which the festival got its name.
