Tchuuuunnnnneeee!!
If only we could comfortably stream online content in the office...'Breakfast with Twin B' has got to be my favourite morning show..such a 'pick-er up-er'
Anywho thought I'd post some tunes of some African Artists that are just 'hmm yelz!' :-p
The first video is Dipo and Efya...with Efya putting a spin on Dipo's - Be your man ...it's a rough recording but does highlight Efya's vocal talent...
You can listen to the original song and the video here - listen with good speakers :)
The next is hehe well another Ghanaian artist called M.anifest. I heard this song some time back and was like 'hmm...I like'. I have listened to it more recently and thought I'd post it here...M.anifest - Suffer:
Still in West Africa we have Nneka's 'Shining Star'...just a good tune :-)
Enjoy...
Hehe now going further South and well who can forget Liquideep :-) ... Two of my favourite songs: Alone and Still are just....tamu! :-) ...these guys make good music sans profanity; just all round feel good music...
Alone:
Still:
Going back to Ghana, this video was made for Channel O to celebrate Ghana's 55th Independence Day this year. I love the music, the aesthetic and the message of this song. I want to go to Ghana now :-p.
Enjoy...Happy Birthday Ghana:
Hehe so now I cannot forget East Africa :-). One artist's album I cannot wait for is Fena's. An up-and-coming artist and from what I have heard so far...the album is going to be a sweet mixture of great vocals and *shhhhh* music; very diverse yet connected. Definitely an album to look out for!
On to a video...it has to be Just a Band. These guys are just creative minds great music, video concepts and overall funtimes. Over Boxing Day they came out with a 'Boxing Day Special' featuring other great local artists. It starts off with Just a Band, Karun from Camp Mulla and Harry Kimani with their version of 'O Holy Night'.
Enjoy...
Last but not least the musical genius of Kato and Jacob. This is just for pure eargasms...*shhhhhhh*
Enjoy...

Business Card Musings
So today I got my first set of business cards!! Yup! It's official...feel like a proper working lady :-p. Now this sense of belonging and foothold, has made me really think, I need to get using what I have. I work in research and it really is a growing industry in Pan Africa that has the potential to tap into every aspect of our lives. Now with budding entrepreneurs out there in the blogging world I really wonder, what is it that they would like to know?
The organisation I work for runs this program with high school kids, basically teaching them about research from idea to execution. The schools are encouraged to carry out projects on issues that are close to them, relatable; and schools battle out at provincial level to the nationals at the end of the year (which I got to attend). These kids have solved issues and found solutions to questions they have had. Past research topics ranged from bullying in schools to environmental issues. As a result of this research, some of the kids' schools have gone to the extent of implementing the recommendations yielded from the research and overall making school life that bit better.
If they can do it; how would you want research to help you? What issues or blurry areas are there in your life, career path etc. What questions would you like answers to? Anything; think about things closer to home?
How would you like to influence your society?
