Using music to raise awareness

Meet Samuel Mkandawire, from Malawi. He is a member of Mafilika band, one of the three bands what won the "Fair Play: Voices Against Corruption" music competition.

During a group discussion at the Global Youth Anti-Corruption Forum in Brussels on 26 May 2010, Mandawire talks about the importance of music to make young people aware of wider issues:

"The thing with music is that youth listen to music. You can write a book about corruption, but the youth will not read it. What we can do as musicians is to write songs and make sure they will be distributed to people."
