Grammy award-winning producer Ian Brennan is always on the lookout for new talent. He helped bring worldwide recognition to the northern Mali group Tinariwen. Now he’s looking to do the same for the Malawi Mouse Boys.


Malawi Mouse Boys is a band of eight members – a group of young villagers who have been playing music together and writing songs since they were children.
Brennan tells music broadcaster Matt Coles how the sounds from young men selling roadside snacks caught his ear.
Listen here to the story on PRI's The World.
