Love music? What a question right? Everyone loves music.
Music has in someway or the other to soothe our souls. Music has
served us through a tough time, great times and all times in between.
Think of a moment and imagine there being no music. Impossible I
presume! The element of surprise. The upbeat tempo, the bass and sound
of the keys all tranquil. Hearing the melody and singing along to your
favorite tune. We all have had a book of lyrics where you wrote lyrics
to every single song you heard and liked. And you keep going
back to that book when you're feeling nostalgic and sing every word
as if you wrote the song with the artist. Music speaks to us in a way
that no one else can. It answers unasked questions and leaves you
feeling full of life and light. Music releases endorphins, happy ones.
Do not think of genres. Think MUSIC. Art. Music in all its forms. From
Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Angelique Kidjo, Oliver Mtukudzi, The Chainsmokers to
The Beatles.
The diversity and versatility of it all. Young and old. Men and
women. We have classics and old time favorites. Legends who have
fallen,living and legends in the making. Africa in its purest form has
greatness all over it. When we say Nigeria we already know Fela
Kuti. When South Africa is mentioned immediately we think of the
great Ntate Hugh Masikela, Mama Mariam Makeba and Mama Busi
Mhlongo.
