Asked about your knowledge of music culture in Malawi the answer will probably be a painful silence and for yours truly that is no different. Not surprising as Malawi is rated among the poorest countries in the world and if even shoes are considered luxury products, music is of course not a priority. The fact Malawi Mouse Boys' (the band was named after the popular Malawi street snack "mouse on a stick", grilled mouse skewers) 'He Is #1' made it all the way to our regions should be considered a small miracle. Instruments are inexistent in Malawi, so Malawi Mouse Boys perform their Christian-inspired music a-capella or accompanied by self-made guitars, giving the songs on 'He Is #1' a delicious naivety and honesty.
