Diamond Plutinumz: Number one: Good voice

I know what you are already thinking after reading that headline: 'The boring Bongo Music that gets winning artists crying loudly about how much they love their lovers blah blah blah!!!'
You will be wrong if you imagined that Number one will fall into that category.

Diamond has done what our fellow Tanzanian brothers may want to call 'Bongo Fuishon bana!'He has literally started pro-founded and propounded a new era in Contemporary Bongo Flava music with a touch of punk pop that we have not been used to in the recent years and especiallly not from Tanzania.

I have been personally a great sucker at Listening let alone dancing to Bongo music but the introduction beats to the song will make anyone rise up to the occasion.Talk of a well cooked production!

HAIL MR. DIAMOND!!!!

 When listening to this song,you can not avoid  to notice the way this man focuses on the delivery of the beautiful poetry that we Africans are known for.He lambasts(forgive my big words and pardon my honest excitement  for this review )his verses with an acute performance from the flashy setting and the lively not to say exquisite performers who back up the song.

It has been time coming before we witnessed Tanzanians whose humility and satisfaction for little or simply satisfying so to speak rose up to the occasion and showed us that they can as well embrace
 bounty and well this man doesn't hide a thing from his pocket in this masterpiece of a poem shouting out loud how we Africans have also got to the map through our music.

This is just more than prove that we Africans are here to fly and that this Man Diamond,he is just starting!!!

What a good voice!

Diamond has a very good voice that captures even the inattentive person. Wah! he is really gifted. I believe he has not done some panel beating on the voice but he has it naturally from God.

Mariam Makeba Song: Mbube (Lion).

I can't control myself when I hear this song.But I have nothing to do with Africa... Nor me not my ancestors...I'm going insane when I hear African songs - I start dancing even if I'm sitting in the office or lying in a bed.. I close my eyes and my body starts moving itself...  Am I crazy...? What is happening to me...?

 This are exact words of my British Friend who over heard me listen to this song in my car and he went crazy and openned up about what Makeba makes her feel whenever he wise mouth opens up.

Miriam Makeba, also known as "Mama Africa," was a popular South-African singer who introduced Xhosa and Zulu songs to Western audiences. She is best known for the songs "Pata Pata," "The Click Song" and "Malaika."

Miriam Makeba was born in South Africa in 1932. Her singing appearance in the documentary film Come Back, Africa (1959) attracted the interest of Harry Belafonte. With his help, Makeba settled in the United States, where she embarked on a successful singing and recording career. In 1965, she and Belafonte won a Grammy Award for best folk recording. She received renewed attention in the mid-1980s, after she met Paul Simon and joined Simon's history-making Graceland tour,her singing career rose up till she met her death in the year 2008.May God Rest Her Soul in Eternal Peace but her music never rests neverthless.

MAMA AFRICA

In 1962, Makeba performed at the birthday celebration of President John F. Kennedy. In 1965, she and Belafonte released the album An Evening with Belafonte & Makeba, which includes two duos by the musicians: "Train Song" and "Cannon." The album earned Makeba and Belafonte a Grammy Award for best folk recording in 1966.

Sorry for me going on and on about the life of this woman who i adore passionately though who activism but what i want you not to forget his her creativity to speak to you instead of her singing.
Her chosen genre  of afro lounge and soul music serenades her vocals well and drives all her music to desirability which is no wonder even the best movies around keep using her music to date.

The likes of Makeba are the reason why most of Africans can even dream of singing to be heard by other audiences leave alone the inspiration to talk about issues while entreratining.
