Magini By Driemo’s

Driemo’s “Magini” continues to draw attention since its release on December 28, 2024, standing as one of the standout singles from one of Malawi’s fastest-rising Afro-fusion stars.

Born Shafie Sharif Phiri in Nkhotakota, Driemo first broke through in 2022 with his debut single “Weniweni” under Van Ngongo Entertainment, drawing early comparisons to influences like Kizz Daniel and 2 Baba. Known for his smooth vocals and emotionally honest songwriting, he has since become a defining voice for Malawi’s new generation of artists, winning Best Male Artist and Music Video of the Year for his song “Mojo” at the 2022 Maso Awards. “Magini” continues that momentum, written by Shaffie Phiri and released through Van Ngongo Entertainment.

The track runs 3:11 and falls under the Afro-Pop genre tag, built on Driemo’s signature blend of Afro-pop, R&B, and Malawian rhythms. His delivery stays warm and heartfelt throughout, in keeping with the vulnerable, relatable songwriting style that has become his trademark. Its accompanying official music video gives the song added visual presence.

Shazam data shows the song catching listeners’ attention around the one minute and five second mark, and Driemo’s growing profile across Malawi and neighboring Zambia has helped the song build steady momentum since release. His recent feature on Triple M’s hit “Follow” further expanded his reach, and that rising cross-border popularity has continued to feed attention back toward tracks like “Magini.”

AFROBEATS says: “Magini” showcases Driemo’s gift for blending genuine emotion with an accessible, modern Afro-fusion sound. His vocal stays smooth and sincere throughout, and the production keeps things warm without overcomplicating the message. It is a strong addition to his growing catalog, and another reminder of why he continues to be one of Malawi’s most promising young voices.

“Magini” is an exciting track with captivating energy, impressive delivery, and a memorable sound. Make sure you listen to this impressive song and add it to your playlist today.
