Pa Khonde is a dynamic collective with a mission to champion the emerging alternative music scene in the heart of Malawi. Our passion lies in discovering and nurturing fresh, innovative sounds that challenge the status quo and enrich our cultural tapestry. We do this through a stripped-back artistic experience that aims to connect audiences to artists, taking the shape of audio-visual content for online platforms and intimate sessions around Malawi where the art is at the heart of the night, creating special moments that reveal the spirit of contemporary Africa right now. We also work with alternative underrepresented artists in Malawi through our artist development efforts. We have recently partnered with Paradise Worldwide to help us distribute and promote the artists we work with on a global scale. So far our showcase night Pa Khonde Sessions has exhibited 76 artists in the disciplines of Music, Poetry, Creative Writing, and Visual Arts.

Our Vision:
At Pa Khonde , we envision a Malawian music landscape that resonates with diverse and cutting-edge sounds, where artists have the freedom to explore their creative boundaries. We believe that the alternative music scene is a vibrant yet underserved sector in Malawi, and we are committed to amplifying these voices to a global audience.
Our Commitment:
Cultivating Local Talent: We are dedicated to identifying and fostering emerging talent from all corners of Malawi. Our goal is to provide a platform where artists can thrive, experiment, and push the boundaries of their artistry.
Diversity: Pa Khonde is genre-agnostic. We welcome artists who create music across various alternative genres, from indie rock and electronic to experimental and fusion. Our focus is on originality and innovation.
Global Exposure: While rooted in Malawi, we aim to take our artists beyond borders. Pa Khonde is committed to showcasing Malawi's alternative talent on an international stage, allowing the world to experience the richness of our musical diversity.
Please do not hesitate to reach out for Sponsorship and Collaborations, we are interested to work with like minded entities on like minded efforts.



I have been to few of PaKhonde Sessions and it's really an amazing vibe, the people there, the environment and the artists were all amazing. It's one of the very few unique musical shows in Malawi.
