PEPE: THE LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE GIANT OF AFRICAN MUSIC
January 14, 2025 - 04:45 PM
PEPE: THE LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE GIANT OF AFRICAN MUSIC. The year is 1991, and Pepe Kalle is visiting Tanzania. He has a scheduled show in Arusha, and the team is traveling around Arusha in a taxi, marveling at the picturesque aura of the town situated at the foot of an inactive volcanic Mt. Meru, a town known for its vibrant nightlife. An enchanted passenger is engaged in a hearty banter about the town, a conversation that happens in Lingala. The driver is female, in itself a rare occurrence, but that's not all. There is something more about her. Ordinarily, Tanzanians don't speak Lingala, although the reverse is true: most Congolese speak Swahili, especially those from Eastern Congo, as......

CHAMELEONE DOWN, BUT NOT OUT!
January 11, 2025 - 05:53 AM
Ugandan musician Joseph Mayanja, known by his stage name Jose Chameleone, was flown to the USA last week for further treatment. He had been rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The musical sensation, with over 13 albums in a career spanning two decades, had been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, a condition often caused by excessive alcoholism. His health has deteriorated significantly in recent months. Guests, including the country's president Yoweri Museveni, fellow musicians, and celebrities, had been visiting the Kampala hospital to express their solidarity with the ailing icon. The state catered for his flight abroad, recognizing his monumental status in the......

OK JAZZ GREATEST COMPOSER OF ALL TIMES
January 08, 2025 - 11:15 AM
'Babotoli ya malili', the air conditioner has been confiscated. This is a line from Franco's hit "Mokolo Tonga," known as "Taileur." The other line is: "Okomi komona pasi ya bangungi, okomibeta mbata na nzoto." The second line, translated, means you will be slapping yourself like everyone else to chase marauding mosquitoes from your face. The song was composed while Franco was incarcerated at Makala prison for composing and recording songs that were considered explicit. He was chiding Kengo Wa Dondo, who had been the country’s attorney but had since been fired from the job. The song is just a tip of the iceberg in a bid to illustrate who was the master composer at OK Jazz.......
