Live Music and Events

Malelani Café

Our collaboration with employees and patrons has been instrumental in growing Malelani from a simple restaurant into a cultural touchstone. At nighttime, the café doors open up, and we support community-building programs. Malelani provides a safe, stable place for people to just be themselves. We nourish people's souls through the visual arts, music, dance, political activism, poetry, comedy, small business, social events, and personal development.
