| Thank you for visiting Malaika on MP3.com! |
| Malaika is a four-woman vocal group that sings music from around the world. |
| Based in Ottawa, Canada, Malaika consists of Neema Mugala (soprano), Lee Hayes (mezzo-soprano), Stella Haybukhai (bass), and Christine Graves (alto). |
| Our repertoire includes songs of social struggle, African music, folk, gospel and pop songs, with some blues, jazz, country and even a Japanese love song thrown in! Most of Malaika's songs are in English and Swahili, and the groups repertoire includes French, Gaelic, Spanish, Xhosa, Swedish, Japanese, and Hillbilly. |
| Malaika has appeared everywhere from New York City to Vancouver, from Santa Fe to Dawson City, at festivals, clubs, and concert halls. Malaika has made main stage appearances at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Torontos Harbourfront series and the Summerfolk Festival, and the group was featured at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in August 1997. |
| The group toured England in November 1997 and recorded a full show for the BBC. Malaika returned for a full UK tour in the summer of 1998. |
Here are a few things people have had to say about us:
- "Malaika ripped the roof off the joint at the recent Panny Lang launch with a spirited set of gospel, traditional African songs sung in Swahili and Xhosa, and original material, all of which swung mightily." - Mary Lamey, The Gazette, Montreal, June 15/96
- "These wonderful women can sing in more languages than a U.N. Translator and in more styles than a karaoke machine. Not to be missed!" - Deke Sharon, President and Founder, Contempory A Cappella Society
- "I should be asking you for your autograph!" - Peter Jennings, Good Morning America, ABC TV

| Any woman with a cat will appreciate this song! Only for Milo (Lee's true love) would Malaika break into flamboyant country music. |
