Remember crafting cereal box guitars as a kid?
The cardboard instruments are fun to make, but they don’t exactly sound too impressive.
Malawian musician Gasper Nali is proof that some homemade instruments can produce amazing sounds, though.
Nali describes his sound as the most beautiful and catchy original afro-beats possible.
And if his videos are anything to go by, his description is pretty accurate.
The chords he plays, along with the driving rhythm of the drum, sound almost punk-like.
Not only does Nali play both instruments, but he sings, too.
He sings in Chichewa, the national language of Malawi.
In one particular song calledAbale Ndikuwuzeni, Nali belts out lyrics that describe cultural issues in his country.
Check out Nalis music below and support his work by buying his albums onBandcamp.
