Renowned Mzuzu based beatmaker Walue Munthali aka Bigue Map sput fire last week on twitter and facebook to most musicians in Malawi. The beatmaker said that music in Malawi shouldnt be taken as a career but rather it should just be taken as a hobby or just a simple talent as there is no industry in the country.
Bigue made it clear comparing Malawi to other countries like Ghana and South Africa to mention just a few, that these countries have industries. He said musicians get paid and they benefit alot from sales of either albums or singles. On the other hand Malawi has no reliable record label that one can point out and say musicians get a better and greener pasture in relation to their talents.
He added on saying that its only during shows that one gets a little dough, so Malawians shouldnt put much of their effort in music and sideline other important things like school. To him the best investment is education. Once educated and you got a paper its even much easier for you to do anything at any point in life.
" I wonder why a bunch of Malawians forget about school and venture into music as a career when they know it very well that it aint gonna pay them that much. Im not saying that they shouldnt do music, no!! all am saying is they must realise that there is no music industry here so if they wanna make it big in life they better start switching their minds towards education. I think my point is clear on that.... got none to say. The music is great though, no doubt about that" said Bigue Map in an interview with Topview Updates Malawi
