One of my earliest childhood memories on my grandmothers 20cm television screen was the fierce beauties of boom shaka.
We didn't really know them by name but back then summer holidays got so much better vibing to the tunes.
Boom Shaka were a pioneering kwaito music group from South Africa, consisting of Junior Sokhela, Lebo Mathosa, Theo Nhlengethwa and Thembi Seete. Their first album was produced in 1994. Boom Shaka's first single "It's About Time" was released in 1993.

Algeria is a country in North Africa bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea. Covering an area of 2,381,741 square kilometers, Algeria is the largest country in Africa and the tenth largest in the world. Its capital is the city of Algiers. Algiers also holds the record for the city with the largest population in the country.
The cover photo in this podcast is of an Algerian teen artist who adopted her style of painting from Picasso and Matisse. In the 1940s, a 16-year-old girl captured the minds of the art world’s elite. The self-taught artist, Baya Mahieddine (1931-1988) — known as Baya — was finally being celebrated in the first North American exhibition of her work, at NYU’s Grey Art Gallery, March 21st 2018. How timely that this Podcast falls on the anniversary of that special launch.

Is it not amazing that some of our most memorable jams are heartbreak or break up related songs? Why does heart break make such beautiful music? I myself am NOT heart broken, but music always takes you there when it sings to the emotion you can't articulate with words.

The mysterious DVSN (pronounced “division”) is a PBR&B act based in Toronto, composed of singer Daniel Daley and producer Nineteen85. The duo is signed to OVO Sound.
DVSN: "The day we made “Between Us”, I think we were in Miami for Art Basel. We had a little pool house that we renovated into like a little studio, little ping-pong set up, and play ping pong. And yeah, we set up in the back. Nineteen85 set up his laptop and he was going through loops. Just going through some guitar things. We originally had written it to guitar and then produced around that later on. I don’t think there’s a set way we do stuff. We kind of just always, whatever the mood or vibe is in the moment, we just go with that."

Dear Boipelo,
It has been a weird time lately. This letter is from 2021.
You've given birth to a healthy baby boy and he is very smart; very chitchatty and energetic.
He's started preschool and is being prepped for grade 1. I know it's been tough but you finally got a job, a car and a home.
You're doing well. Better than you think you're gonna. I just want to reassure you that all your concerns and worries are for nothing.
Things turn out pretty okay; you're okay. You've started new projects for side hustle, and 3 of those are profitable.
I am so proud of you. Wipe the sadness off your face because things are about to get busy.
Put on some lipstick and eyeliner because calls for interviews are about to flood in.
Your spirituality improves too. Trust the process. Trust the thought out decisions.
You're on a good path.
Trust.
Love&Light,
2021 Boipelo.

David Adedeji Adeleke (born November 21, 1992), popularly known as Davido, is a Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is one of the most influential artists in Africa. Like Fela Kuti before them, Davido and his peers are taking their country’s music way beyond its borders, with Nigeria’s Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Burna Boy and Mr Eazi also signed to major international labels.
They and others have created a golden age for Afrobeats, a broad term that threads various African pop styles with R&B, dancehall and more, and differs from Fela Kuti’s polyrhythmic Afrobeat. Collaborations alongside British and American superstars, less common a decade ago, are now normal: Davido’s new album features songs with Nicki Minaj, Nas, Lil Baby and Chris Brown

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, rapper and dancer. He is one of the biggest and most successful African artists.
Heard Burna Boy for the first time on A.K.A's sampled track and he had this quickened way of rapping which reminded me of Shabba. And I realized that art and artists live through other artists. Art is cyclical.

With a lot of challenges we face in our daily lives, it's easy to doubt ourselves.
Sometimes that negative voice comes from people but oftentimes it's an internal station that replays itself every time we are faced with important decisions.
We must always remember that we have the resources to overcome this feeling of doubt.

An introvert is often thought of as a quiet, reserved, and thoughtful individual.
This detour in my self discovery journey has actually helped me unpack a little bit more, especially since I am neither SHY nor reserved.
But I do internalize and feel recharged from being in an "alone setting" with minimum stimulation and maximum satisfaction.
