Afro Vibes #MusicWeDeyFeel on Music Monday

Hello once again folks, been a while I came to you with another session of #MusicWedeyfeel on a Music Monday like this. If I am not mistaken this should be the first of the year 2016.

Today I will bring to your enjoyment pleasure the music of two soothing tunes from the young men who I tip to be a huge sensation soon on the continent.

Now if you have your passports and flight tickets ready, join me as I take you on a trip to Tanzania to enjoy the tune from Mayunga.

Mayunga Nalimi born, May 15th 1991, is a Tanzanian musician, actor and singer-song writer. He was discovered in 2010 when he reigned supreme in the national broadcast of Airtel TRACE Music Star taking home the first place trophy as winner of the competition. Now this is the tune I outdoor to your enjoyment.

1. MAYUNGA feat AKON - PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY





A beautiful song by all standards and I think he will do well if he keeps his head on the ground and become a favourite artist on the continent.

Now lets take a quick turn back to West Africa and land in Nigeria as I introduce you to the man revered as the ladies man. He is signed to Banky W's Empire Mates Entertainment holds a degree in Electrical Engineering and as well holds the ideals of family very seriously. Well he is no mystery now I guess, call him Shaydee, a fast rising artist who believes will be one of Nigeria's big music exports very soon. Enjoy his tune which is a song I am digging right now.

2. SHAYDEE - SMILE



Trust me, if you don't enjoy this soothing tune then, you'll have more to deal with me.....hahahaha...just kidding.

Tell me what you think out these two features for today in the comments section. Again thanks for checking out my blog as I continue to look out for the best tunes on the continent to celebrate and share with you.

JAM TO THIS WEEK'S MUSICWEDEYFEEL PICKS

Great to be back here again. It's another Monday and as my quest to bring you the best of tunes from our continent, I will be introducing you to some great talents.

This week I chose my first act from Nigeria. Now let's get to it;

1. ADEKUNLE GOLD - ORENTE



Adekunle is one fast rising artist to come out of Nigeria. His sleek voice and traditional touch to his tunes makes his music unique and soothing to the ear. Indigenous and exclusively cultural piece from Adekunle Gold and it is titled, "Orente". A love song explained the Yoruba way about the faithfulness of a woman who adores a man despite all the odds against them. This video expresses love and I know you'll love this tune.

Now to the very next artist, we take a trip down south to the rainbow country South Africa and I bring you Berita.

2. BERITA - MWANA WA MAI FEAT OLIVER MTUKUDZI & HUGH MASEKELA

BERITA is an Award winning singer, a Gold selling songwriter and guitarist with a touch soul to her music. Enjoy this tune and tell me what you think if this doesn't make you love African music.

Music theysay is the food to the soul. This is ours. #MusicWeDeyfeel is on again next Monday.

Cheers for reading.

Another Music Monday- #MusicWedeyFeel

African music in its entirety is one to revere. Its rich drums especially, create wonderful sound for which people being entertained by it can dance to the rhythm it produces.

Some few years back I started to even appreciate it the more when it earned its new face. African music nowadays, for which some call it Afro Pop as well as genres like Kwaito, House, Hip Life and the likes, really tickles my fancy and I am sure it does to you also.

A few years on social media, I found a running hashtag on Mondays which sounded interesting. Want to know? #MusicMondays it is –it highlights the various songs people are grooving to, downloading or enjoying at that moment.

So the little African in me decided to check out f there were any African tunes being shared. That led me to the hashtag #MusicWeDeyFeel. Following it keenly especially in twitter, I realized it was targeted towards tunes from our continent. I later found out that it was spear-headed by Museke. Over the period I had contributed to the trend of sharing my favorite African music.

Now I want to bring it to my platform here. So every Monday hopefully, I should bring you my pick of tunes from the continent so you also check it out.

So for this week, I start with these two tunes, I am sure you’ll love. And for your enjoyment pleasure, watch it right here;

     1. Seyi Shay featuring Iyanya and Banky W – Right Now (Remix) –  Nigeria

    

2. Mi Casa featuring Sauti Sol – Tuale Fofofo   –          South Africa/Kenya

Stay tuned till I come your way next week Monday for another set of enjoyable African music. If no one will celebrate us, we will celebrate ourselves.

The African Vibe -My Playlist

Music they say is the food for the soul. Well for me it's a refreshing lifestyle which soothes the mind and whole mental framework.

I woke up this morning feeling all music loving, but this time the craving was a little different from the usual, Hip hop, Christian Rock, or even listening to my favorite sports shows.

Over the years I have always loved music from all over the world but not so much from my continent because it was in a way not very much accessible. Thanks to the internet super higher, things seems to have become a little easier now in terms of accessibility.

Over these few weeks I have had a few favorites from the continent no doubt I woke up this feeling all songy songy (If there's a word like that LOL).

Immediately my laptop was on, I started my picking one track to the other and guess what, all the songs that made up the playlist were from my continent of Africa. No doubt this is the playlist for the week.

 I therefore decided to share it and if you have even good tunes from any corner from the continent, share it so we also enjoy your music also.

As I mostly say, don't blame me if I love music more than you do. I live by and with it.

My Afro Playlist start now!! The list below is in no particular order or preference anyway. I can mix them up any time in as much as you find all the tunes in the list.

1. Mafikizolo featuring Uhuru - Khona

2. Lira - Feel Good

3. Zahara - Loliwe

4. Efya - Cigarette

5. Camp Mulla - Party Don't Stop

6. Cwesi Oteng - I Win

7. Tiwa Savage featuring Leo Wonder - Ife Wa Gbona

8. Becca featuring M.I. - No Away

9. Asa - Bibanke

10. Blitz The Ambassador - Dear Africa

11. Mensa - Fanti Love Song

12. Darey - Bani Ki Di

13. LiquiDeep - Come Aboard
14. Cleo Ice Queen featuring JK- Big Dreams
15. Cynthia Morgan - High High High ( Kuche Kuche)

Well some of us don't care if the Grammy's, BET's won't respect our music and acts to really give us the needed platform to excel, we the people of Africa will enjoy our good great music to the fullest and we'll reward ourselves by sticking what we have. When they realize it's so big here and they wanna have a price by sampling our hits, then the industry players will tell them their piece of mind some.

Well I don't know how your playlist for this week is or will be, so hey if you don't mind you can share yours and maybe I'll like a tune from yours to enjoy also.

Have the very best of this week as August really breaks out, I wish each and every one the best in all endeavours as well as aspirations.
