Locating Rap in Malawi’s Music Industry


Author(s) : Ken Lipenga
Pop Music, Culture and Identity

Abstract


This discussion presents the background for the birth of rap music in Malawi, highlighting why it has not received the same academic attention that other genres of music in the country have received. The chapter situates the genre of rap music within the broader sphere of Malawian music and outlines the argument and the areas of focus for the book.
