Our Story

  • Kwacha FM What's In The Word?

    Kwacha (coo-watcher)...the word is a bold declaration of a brand new day, an awakening of sorts and also a declaration that now is the time. KWACHAFM.COM (KFM) stays within the same declarations...it is a brand new day in broadcasting of African urban lifestyles and music with a strong emphasis on Malawian music and urban culture.

    KFM is the Internet radio where Malawian and African urban music and lifestyle is given the space to unfold itself to larger audiences outside and within Africa, and in so doing present itself as new horizons at the break of dawn...KWACHA!!.

    Here at KFM radio we believe that music is the soundtrack to our lives and at the same time it is life in itself. So our focus is not only on music but also life in this modern day and age.

  • Our Content What We Talk About

    We mainly try to showcase issues that affect Malawians and Africans in general living in different cultural settings far from their country of origin. Issues that are of interest to Malawians within Malawi itself and also outside Malawi. Issues that shade light onto to the struggles, glories, misconceptions and everything else that bind Malawians together and at the same time keep them worlds apart.

    KFM has a variety of platforms from which it addresses these issues...we have...

  • The Matchona Show Talk and Traditional African Music

    The Matchona Show, which is a no holds barred show. In this show some issues are tackled that sometimes are seen as being personal and controversial...but KFM believes this to be cutting edge presentation of the issues...it takes time but people will catch up.

  • Homegrown Sounds A Mix of African Urban Music

    Homegrown Sounds is a great show that keeps you abreast with what is happening in the music industry in Malawi, new material gets to be premiered and current Matchona (Malawian Diaspora) affairs are discussed.

  • The Oracle Roots Reggae and Culture

    The Oracle showcases reggae music from Malawi as well as new music from around the world. It is also a great getaway to the old days because now and then the program host throws in some roots rock reggae that has withstood time.

  • The Dance Circuit Africa vs the World Dance Mix

    KFM also throws in a mix of dance music that you can only get on KFM...mixed by our own DJs THE DANCE CIRCUIT is a great way to hear that mix of Malawian/ African music alongside western club bangers as well as old joints that still hold the power to move you.

    Its a nonstop hour long trip around the world in the name of dance, which usually starts of from Malawi or ends up there. Its a great journey of discovery...musically.

    Before Mukhongoma Wa Mukhongoma (co-founder of Kwacha FM) began broadcasting on Kwacha FM radio two years ago, Malawian online radio was often dry, irrelevant, and boring.

    Mukhongoma's lively, humorous, and just plain fun program has rocketed his show to the most listened-to long form program in the history of Malawian online radio.

  • Likoma Likoma
