Malipenga is an African dance music of the Tonga people of Malawi.[1] The dance was originated in imitations of military drills[2] when they fought alongside the British Army in World War I.[3]
Malipenga is common in the central and northern regions of Malawi, as in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia with slight modifications.[4] Each year in August is held a big Malipenga festival in Northern Malawi in a different town each year.[5]
