Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Celebrated master of Tumbuka rap Nthondwa has lamented over tribal stereotypes in Malawi\u2019s music industry. Writing on his Facebook page, the rapper has expressed discontent with some people\u2019s tendency of speaking ill of his songs because they were done in Chitumbuka language.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe enjoyed Fikisa doing it in Yao , nobody complained , we dance to Makhazi , nobody complains, we dance to Diamond, no problems with it. I do it in Tumbuka or Ngonde ati munvera Ku Mpoto konko! (They say it is meant for northerners only) Am I not Malawian?,\u201d he quetioned<\/p>\n

According to the Nkhughanile star, such attitude is retrogressive, hence the call for mindset change. \u201cIts high time we break all these tribal stereotypes. Its really affecting a lot of our internal structures as a country especially in the music industry . We are all Malawians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the matter, his followers have encouraged him to ignore the negative energy. \u201cIam a Chewa who understands a little of Tumbuka but Man!!! , you are so good!!!!. You made me love Tumbuka language,\u201d reads one of the comments<\/p>\n

Another comment reads, \u201cYour talent is exceptional ase, don\u2019t mind the negativity.\u201d Nthondwa whose real name is Chawanangwa got into the limelight with his Chitumbuka delivery, in the last decade. The list of his popular songs include, Ntchemo, Nthengwa, and Fuego which features Afro RNB star Bucci.<\/p>\n
