Summary: <p>Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! I have a really special friend this week: Peter Mawanga! Peter is a long-time collaborator with former Get Up in the Cool guest Andrew Finn Magill, and when they were on their way through Philly, Finn recommended I get Peter in front of a mic. I was really nervous about it, because Peter is from Malawi, and African rhythms, in general, are way outside my comfort zone. I profoundly don’t understand them. But Peter was lovely and patient and disarming, and he spoon fed me all the polyrhythms.</p> <p>Tunes we’ll play:<br> Samala (Original Malawian Song)<br> Chigule (Original Gule Wamkulu Dance)<br> Nanga Iwe (What About You) (Traditional Malawian Hymn)<br> Lost Indian (Featuring Peter on Sansi) <br> Seneca Square Dance (Featuring Peter on Talking Drum)<br> Ona (Traditional Malawian Dance)<br> Bonus Track: Rocking in the Weary Land</p> <p>Peter Mawanga's website: <a href="http://www.petermawanga.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.petermawanga.com/</a><br> Peter Mawanga and the Amaravi Movement on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PeterMawangaandTheAmaraviMovement/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/PeterMawangaandTheAmaraviMovement/</a><br> Contact Peter: <a href="mailto:PeterMawanga@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">PeterMawanga@gmail.com</a><br> Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool</a><br> Like and follow Get Up in the Cool on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/getupinthecool/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/getupinthecool/</a><br> Join Get Up in the Cool's Facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/getupinthecool/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/getupinthecool/</a><br> Buy Get Up in the Cool Vol. 1: <a href="https://camerondewhitt.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://camerondewhitt.bandcamp.com/</a><br> Cameron DeWhitt's website: <a href="http://www.camerondewhitt.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.camerondewhitt.com/</a></p>
