Judge Ian on TPF 6

So apparently this is old news. But still worth looking at, especially if you haven't heard anything about the upcoming TPF 6.

We all know, believe and hope (well, maybe not in that order) that TPF 6 will be huge! I am looking forward to it. And Ian is on our side. Read his views here

So EABL as a sponsor has its work cut out. Watch this space people, TPF 6 is coming with a bang.

BACKSTAGE PASS: ZAHARA-KENYA IS HOME…AFRICA IS MY HOMELAND

Zahara with a fan.

Last month; June 2^nd multi-award winning artist; Zahara; performed at the Blankets and Wine. She was joined on stage by Kenyan singers; Dela and Prisca; alongside Sudanese-born singer; Alsarah.  

A self confessed African lover; Zahara reckons that she enjoys performing for her African audience; because she feels at home. And her Kenyan audiences loved her at the event- her debut Kenyan performance at the Carnivore Grounds.

Back in 2011; Zahara’s debut album “Loliwe” went platinum; just 13 days after it release.

This propelled the 23 year old singer to stardom in South Africa.

But it was “Ndiza”; that a lot of her Kenyan fans first fell in love with. Despite being in native language; it went ahead to prove that “music is indeed a universal force and language.”

Many fell in love with it and related to it. A song that talks about Zahara leaving her home town; going to a far place that she doesn’t know; but that one day; she will eventually return. That’s “Ndiza”.

In her own words; all the songs she writes; relates to her life and everything she has gone through.

In Arabic; her name means shining; bright and brilliant- a replica of her current status in South Africa. Having so far bagged 11 south African music awards and the 2012 Channel O Best Gifted Female Video Award; music truly transformed Zahara’s life; moving from a deprived town ship in Eastern Cape to become one of Africa’s biggest stars.

Her passport has several stamps as she has been to Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Mozambique among other African nations to perform.

Despite having her usual set of which fans receive well; she also puts a twist in her shows by performing some legendary songs like “Africa” by Saif Kater; Miriam Makeba and Brenda Fassie.

Her closing parting shot to the struggling musicians out there- “never give up and never stop dreaming. Also; be patient. That is what I did, and it worked out for best.”

A recap of TPF5, an interesting read

Ernest Bazanye did a good job on this one. And he's definitely right to include Brian's hairdo as a highlight. Because, in all fairness, we can't leave that out.

Something with hair that sticks to your memory... like Diouf's died hair to Bakary Sagna's to Ronaldo's "quarter head" (that's the best way I can describe it) and the best example shown by Bazanye; Jonah Lomu, the Legend. But I loved Jonah Lomu (those who can't identify Jonah Lomu, here's a pic. Now you will always be able to tell who that is haha).

Oh! And when I say Ronaldo, I mean the Brazilian Ronaldo number 9.

Mandela Day

Hello people!

It's Nelson Mandela day, a day to celebrate the world-changing acheivements of Madiba. Mandela is one of the greatest ambassadors, if not a champion, of human dignity and equality.

Mandela day is simply a day where each and everyone of us is to make an attempt at positively impacting the lives of those around us. You don't have to sweat it though. Because even small stuff like calling someone and wishing them a wonderful day can make a huge impact in their lives today. Encourage your co-workers, congratulate them, get them a coffee.... the list is endless!

So get out there, smile and maje a difference and a small prayer for Mandela to get well.

Have a wondrful day my great people, much love.
