Hey! We are Malingo, and we have a single goal in mind: to move you in one way or another. Our music blends folk, bluegrass, jam band, and psychedelic blues for a sound that is often nostalgic, often melancholy, often intense, but always emotional. Malingo began as a solo recording project, but now our 5-piece band is hitting the stage with a live set that is sure to steal your heart and leave you smiling. If that's not enough, we're releasing new music every 2 weeks, so hit that follow button wherever you find it and try and keep up!
Some history from the founder, Jonny:
In 2016 I started the album "Fay" as a way to process and cope with my mom’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I tried to let the music meander with my emotions and couldn't be prouder of the result. Be sure to check out the full-length film I made for the album on YT or IG - it's quite a trip and the most special piece of art I've created. All proceeds from the album and video go to Alzheimer's foundations.
Writing “Fay” did a lot of things for me, not least it made me realize how badly I need to make music a regular part of my life. It’s either write songs or die. To that end, I’ve embarked on a decades-long journey to tell you pieces of my story and some of the lessons I’ve learned. Expect around 20 new songs a year - some you’ll love and some you won’t - but either way I sincerely hope you find value in the music I and the band create.
