Afrobeat mania

After interviewing and writing an article about Tony Allen in the recent past, I was rather fascinated to discover this blog.

Viva Afrobeat!!!

In the pantheon of Nigerian music history, Afrobeat stands heads above for me because of the political message Fela carried with it and the way it changed cultural entertainment to something that had political power. Afterall, those in power felt what Fela was saying through his music was annoying enough to warrant reprisals.

United we stand

According to urban legend, it is not quite the thing to blog on April Fool's Day.
Please don't ask why or how. But isn't there something wonderful about being able to defy the laws of social expectation?

This new blog is about all things African, creative, artistic and literary.

Postmark it, read it, watch it, love it!!!
