If you’re looking for an infectious and joyous experience, you won’t want to miss Gasper Nali’s UK tour dates this autumn. One of North Malawi’s brightest stars, Gasper Nali, has been bringing his unique energetic dance music to the world.
Famed for his world-renowned homemade one-string Babatoni guitar, his music is renowned by the likes of Songlines and RootsWorld, for bringing a special kind of joyous experience to audiences. Gasper Nali is a true one-man band, playing his custom-made Babatoni alongside a large bass drum and kick pedal all at the same time. Thought to be the largest of its kind in the world, his instrument is something truly unique and spectacular to watch. This is all without mentioning the skill and canny technical ability of Gasper himself as a musician.
Having started out playing with his two brothers busking in nearby villages, Gasper has come a very long way indeed. After their tragic passing, he decided to keep their legacy alive himself and his story began to reach a much wider audience. After a video of him posted to social media garnered over 18m views, Gasper came to the attention of music project manager Mattias Stålnacke who paired with the artist to professionally record his music. Since then, they have over 1 million streams on Spotify alone. Gasper Nali’s 21-date tour will also be supported by celebrated Reggae Poet Michael Mountain for a series of unforgettable performances. Be sure to catch Gasper’s infectious and joyous music live at any one of the tour dates below, and just see for yourself how talented and captivating he is.
