Decentralization, my friends

"This video was produced to promote public participation in local government in Malawi. Music by Vita Chirwa and the Kalimba Band. The catchy tune was popular on the radio and in discos nationwide, encouraging people to take an active role in government affairs to promote development. Filmed and produced by Adam Rogers, United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF)"(Source: UNCDF, YouTube post). Plus, the translations are hilarious!

Music from Malawi

These musicians have incredible talent, and play on homemade instruments. Take note that the little guitar is made of a gas can!
