Peter Mawanga has earned international acclaim for his unique musical style, "Nyanja vibes," captivating audiences on stages across Africa, Europe, and America. Combining traditional Nyanja instruments like the (Nsansi) thumb piano, (Visekese) shakers, (Mangolo ngondo), xylophone, and Kaligo (one-string instrument) with contemporary elements, his music is often described as therapeutic, embodying the core values of peace and calm found in Nyanja culture. The Nyanja people, native to the shores of Lake Malawi, are known for their peaceful nature, and Malawi itself, often called the "Warm Heart of Africa," has a history free from civil conflict.
