Music Fridays

Heyy blogsville,

TGIF!!

Hope you all had a good week and looking forward to a great weekend. Its music Friday again and I would like to share the song I am currently feeling with you.

Fally Ipupa is massive in Fracophone countries, not so much in Naij which is a real shame because his songs are always upbeat, energetic and fun, not to mention that he is tres cute! Rumour has it that he is dating hot Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari, talk about West African love!

Today's song is called 'Ma Cherika/Sexy Dance" one of his most popular party anthems. I have noticed that alot of his songs seem to have the lyrics "your mama and papa" kinda like Timaya!

Enjoy

Music Fridays

Hey peeps,

I will try and post you songs I am feeling every Friday just to celebrate the end of another week.

Today's song is one I heard on MTV when I was in Nigeria and fell in love with but I didn't take down the name and I have been searching for since I came back. Luckily I remember watching the MTV awards and he performed and won the award for best Lusophone (best Portuguese for those like me that have no idea what this means!)

I have no idea what he is saying or what the song is even about but its such a catchy beat with repetitive lyrics and a funny and energetic video.

Have a great weekend!

Enjoy

FELA! Musical

Heyy blogsville,
I went to see the Fela! musical in December and it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E! Since the massive publicity with its release on Broadway last year being produced by Will Smith, Jay-Z and Spike Lee, I knew I had to see it.

The dancing, lighting,costumes, choreography, and of course the music was on point! It was captivating and 100% quality entertainment. They had us dancing and singing with them it was quite an intimate theatre. I would recommend it to anyone, the only flaw to me was that I didn't want it to end!

I also learnt alot about Fela, as it was a biopic of his life told though song and dance. For example I did not know that he married 10-15 wives (numbers unconfirmed) on the same day! Now that is a bad guy!

I know a number of comment-ors were disappointed that Fela wasn't played by a Nigerian, but the actor(who is originally Ghanain) did an excellent job to me! He could sing, dance, speak bits of Yoruba and had perfected the mannerisms of Fela. Best of all, his saxophone playing was flawless. And Ladies his 6 pack alone is worth paying for, considering he is shirtless the whole time (hehehehehe).


Best part was the tickets were so affordable thanks to bargain hunting by Omoj!

Its back in the summer in Engalnd for those that want to see it HERE. I also heard that its coming to Lagos soon.

Here are some pictures I took in the theatre (even though I don't think you are allowed ;-)

Enjoy

The view over central London from the theatre was breathtaking!
