Introduction


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

Abstract


This section details the motivation for writing the book, reflecting on the point that the hip-hop culture in Malawi is not fully understood both within and outside of the country. It highlights the need to expand the conversation about the music beyond esoteric circles of the fans, so that it may be appreciated by others within the country as well as in other areas of the continent.
