  • Description: This style of dancing is most popular in the Dowa district, where most large villages, they say, have their own groups of enthusiasts. "Come and see the glory of these boys". Not the European accent on the ultimate syllable. "muone kuwala", instead of the normal "mu'one kuw'ala". This may well spring from the fact that the Malipenga dance and its dance songs originated with military drilling as performed by the Kings African Rifles and the Nyasaland police. Mujanda dance with Malipenga singing horns.
