I have a really special friend this week: Peter Mawanga! 1:05:53 no 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. Tunes we’ll play: Samala (Original Malawian Song) Chigule (Original Gule Wamkulu Dance) Nanga Iwe (What About You) (Traditional Malawian Hymn) Lost Indian (Featuring Peter on Sansi)  Seneca Square Dance (Featuring Peter on Talking Drum) Ona (Traditional Malawian Dance) Bonus Track: Rocking in the Weary Land Peter Mawanga's website: http://www.petermawanga.com/ Peter Mawanga and the Amaravi Movement on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeterMawangaandTheAmaraviMovement/ Contact Peter: PeterMawanga@gmail.com Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool Like and follow Get Up in the Cool on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getupinthecool/ Join Get Up in the Cool's Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/getupinthecool/ Buy Get Up in the Cool Vol. 1: https://camerondewhitt.bandcamp.com/ Cameron DeWhitt's website: http://www.camerondewhitt.com/ African music, Malawian music, clawhammer banjo, guitar, percussion, Sansi, Talking drum Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends!
