The Madalitso Experience: The Banjo Boys (doc) + Madalitso Band
The Troubadour, SW5 9JA , [Venue Details]Get ready to groove live with The Banjo Boys documentary & Madalitso Band’s epic tunes in one night!
Step into a truly unique night of music and storytelling with The Madalitso Experience, coming to London in partnership with the Earl's Court Film Festival. This special event brings together an award-winning documentary screening and an intimate live performance—offering audiences a rare chance to experience both the story and the sound of one of the world’s most compelling musical acts.
🎬 The Film: The Banjo Boys
At the heart of the evening is The Banjo Boys, a powerful, four-time award-winning documentary (including the Audience Award at the London Breeze Film Festival). The film charts the extraordinary rise of Madalitso Band—Yobu Maligwa and Yosefe Kalekeni—from street performers in Lilongwe, Malawi, to internationally touring artists.
🎵 The Live Experience: Following the screening, the story comes alive as Madalitso Band take to the stage.
Using handmade instruments—a banjo, a one-string babatone bass, and a foot drum—the duo create a raw, high-energy sound rooted in Malawian tradition yet universally uplifting. Their performances are joyful, hypnotic, and deeply human—connecting audiences across cultures with rhythm, humour, and spirit.
