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.

I CALL HER WOMAN

Sometimes I wish I had the talent of writing to the extreme, especially when it comes to thought provoking pieces of life whichever way it comes. As a matter of fact writing from my personal experiences isn't what I am referring to. That I guess I can pass, so when I see such deep writings from friends I have, I admire them and applaud.
On one of those boring days, a friend dropped this amazing piece in one of my whatsapp group chats and I am of the conviction that I share this. Reason? I am identified and associated to this. There are still some great wonderful women on planet earth. Take a read;

She gives life,
She is a wife,
She is a mother,
She is a friend,
She is a sister,
A survivor to the end......
Appreciating  her,
We never dare...
Asking her worries,
We Don't care...
Please Wipe away her tears,
For they are invisible as air...
She works,
She cooks,
She cleans....
She laughs,
She comforts,
She hides her pain...
And When you struggle,
She pulls you through...
All this she is,
And what do we do??....
Complain,
And create a mess...
Stress her,
And leave her depressed...
Push her away,
Ignoring her advice...
Tell her she is nothing,
Without thinking twice....
She is raped,
Tortured,
And abused.
Told she is nothing,
Always used just for pleasure,
Inconsiderate of her pain...
She swallows her Pride,
Pockets her Ego,
Puts her feelings aside,
Does as you need,
In order for you to be free...
Ignores your ignorance,
Tolerating your flaws.
You call her Bitch,
Slut,
Hoe,
And Tramp....
She answers with humility,
Dignity,
And a complete loss of self....
You call her nothing,
I call her Strong,
Smart,
Sensual,
Caring,
Giving,
Survivor,
Tolerant,
And powerful....
If this piece doesn't change you mind of how you think about women, then I don't think you'll ever change. No matter how things might seem, a lot of love and respect should be accorded the woman.

Another piece from a friend for which I decided I share with you my cherished readers. Thank you Eddy from Kenya for this one and the enlightenment you brought to how courteous a woman can be.
