Malawians are part of the large Bantu population that migrated northward from South Africa at around the turn of the twentieth century. Location and Geography. Malawi is a landlocked country that lies east of Zambia, north and west of Mozambique, and south of Tanzania. Its area is 45,747 square miles (118,500 square kilometers). The major topographic feature is Lake Malawi, a freshwater lake that is home to hundreds of fish species found nowhere else in the world. Twenty percent of the landmass consists of water. The topography varies from the high Nyika plateau in the north to the Shire River valley in the south that is an extension of the Great Rift Valley. In the far southeast corner is Mount Mulanje, which is among the highest mountains in Africa. The capital, Lilongwe, is roughly in the center of the country. However, the major commercial center is Blantyre, named after the birthplace in Scotland of the first European to discover Lake Malawi, the English explorer Livingston. Access to the Indian Ocean is normally by rail to the port of Beira in Mozambique.

Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Malawi : Culture Though under the impact of modernization, Malawi's orthodox culture is characterized by continuity as well as change, and the orthodox life of the village has remained largely intact. One of the most typical features of Malawi culture is the enormous mixture of orthodox songs and dances that use the drum as the major musical instrument. Among the most famous of these dances are ingoma and gule wa mkulu for men and chimtali and visekese for women. There are various orthodox arts and crafts, including sculpture in wood and ivory. There are two museums�the Museum of Malawi in Blantyre and a smaller one in Mangochi. While various cultural activities are organized by the Ministry of Youth and Culture, the University of Malawi Travelling Theatre, and other groups in Blantyre, the radio from Zomba and Lilongwe has proved to be the most effective means of bringing orthodox and modern plays to the rural population.
