Mwinoghe és una dansa festiva practicada al nord de Malawi pels grups ètnics sukwa, ndali i bandya. L'acompanyen tres tambors i una flauta i no inclou cants. L'any 2018, la UNESCO la va incloure en la llista representativa del patrimoni cultural immaterial de la humanitat sota el títol "El mwinoghe, dansa alegre". 1

Origen i pràctica

El mwinoghe és recent, segons la descripció oficial de la UNESCO. S'inspira en l'indigala, una dansa cerimonial de Karonga. En chisukwa, dialecte local, mwinoghe significa "anem a divertir-nos". Aquesta dansa expressa alegria. Dues fileres de persones, homes i dones, ballen amb passos complexos i ondulacions corporals. La música, instrumental, consta de tres tambors i un tub. Aquest entreteniment es practica amb motiu de les festes, especialment nacionals i de celebració de la independència, i les trobades intercomunitàries. 1
