Neil & the New Vibration are a UK/Malawian band who came together in 2013 in Area 23 Lilongwe and in 2014 released their debut album Made in Malawi. The songs are a mix of local traditional Malawian styles mixed up with European country, jazz and folk styles, giving them a unique flavour which has found popularity on different sides of the globe. The musical tradition that Neil comes from is very different from Malawi, which is why he came here in the first place - to discover something new. And unexpectedly for him he found a public who were also willing to learn about his own traditions musically which led to the idea to form a fusion band that plays different forms of music in a harmonious way. The Malawian musicians that came to become the band are all quite celebrated in other bands - The rhythm section coming from Konkalazi, the guitarist from the new Kalimba and the backing vocalist from the Daughters Band.
