SALLY NYUNDO (REGGAE ARTIST)
“What do you do when you are young, highly talented musically and a conscious dreamer? You create. And if you have a four year track record of music experience, that’s even better. That’s what Sally Nyundo is as a Reggae Artist.” Daily Times, Malawi, 18/04/02
SALLY NYUNDO was born Bernard Sally Nyundo on 7th October 1976. He started out in 1994 with Imagez Band. He’s recorded great songs like Chule Chule, Namwali, Kukuchedwa Kucha to mention a few. His music career gained recognition in 2000 when he joined the House Of Lions which won the first Malawian Music Award ‘Malawi Gin Music Trophy’. Later in the same year he recorded his first solo album ‘NYIMBO’ of which one of the songs, Rasi Amadya Nzimbe (Rastas Eat Sugarcane), became a national anthem and a positive boon for the Rasta community. It was also voted the Best Video by the first Television Malawi music video show.
His music is timeless and has led to Sally’s recognition as one of Malawi’s best reggae artists . In 2003 Sally recorded his 2nd Album ‘BIMBI OVERSTANDING’ which led to sponsorship from the French Cultural Centre to visit Reunion Island to work with a local reggae band Rouge Reggae and resulted in a performance alongside the famous Jamaican group Israel Vibrations. While there, he landed a recording deal with Zonne Records where in 2005 he recorded his 3rd Album ‘NYASA REGGAE REVOLUTION’.
Sally has worked with a lot of musicians and groups, both local and international. He’s performed with legends; Iboo Crooper former keyboardist of Third World, Tiken Jah fakoly from Ivory Coast, Israel Vibrations from Jamaica, Baobab from France just to mention a few on the international scene.

SALLY NYUNDO continues to grow as a great reggae artist Malawi is proud of.
