Malingo - the most enchanting folk band in the Midwest - has a single goal in mind: to move you in one way or another. Their music blends folk, bluegrass, jam-band, and psychedelic blues for a sound that is often nostalgic, often melancholy, often intense, but always emotional. In 2023, this 5-piece band turned their heads toward the stage and crafted a live set that is sure to steal your heart and leave you smiling. If that’s not enough, they’ve committed themselves to releasing a lot more new music this year and beyond. Try your best to keep up!
