Soundcity red carpet.


My good friend Denrel invited me to attend the recent Soundcity bash held in the Oceanview compound in VI. On the red carpet I was greeted by his Royal Highness himself dressed as fab as always in a plethora of clothes that made him look like Andre 2007 of Outcast( the picture does it no justice but keep an eye out for the programme to get the full effect). I have never seen so many stylish well dressed beautiful young people in one place. It has never been more official. Nigerians have serious style going on. And as we discussed the merits of my dress done by kfa fashions (me thinking I could have done with something a tad more trendy and young lol) Ruggedman drove up the red carpet in his new 4x4 and screeched to a halt in front of us. You see here in Nigeria we dont just walk onto the red carpet we drive onto it.

I have never been more proud of how far we have come in the entertainment business. I almost passed out with joy as I watched the MTV awards and saw Dbanj receive his award. Nigerian musicians are really beginning to be recognised not just here (I have observed our music is being brought to the forefront at the clubs with the likes of beyonce and co rarely getting played) but as stars with International merit. I almost wished I was ten years younger and could unearth my black spandex mini(as you know eighties clothes are back in fashion!) and bust some dance moves(do these young people still say that?) but I didn't want to break anything. I will save my move busting for me and my age mates at La Casa.

I have been known to be pretty unsympathetic towards the Nigerian hip-hop scene, at least in the past. I belong to that small group that thinks it’s better to be a poor original rather than a poor imitation. There is something no quiet right with some of our ‘top’ hip-hop groups. While most of them show contempt to other people’s intellectual property, others go to such alarming lengths to actually ‘look’ like the people they ‘nick’ from.

I think that is somewhat changing - the music is becoming a bit original, even if the videos, accents and mannerisms still represent poor imitations of their more illustrious American siblings.

Maybe I am still lost in 80s soul/funk music, maybe I am just being unfair, but when I want to delve into African music, I look elsewhere –East and Southern Africa.

Having ranted a bit, I think D’banj is good and I don’t think its late for you to make a comeback. You still have a faithful following…You could remix Taxi Driver for a start.

"Bust some dance moves"! ....lol, not sure what they say these days...

Oh no, not You Mandy! Please don't go into that old mode thing we have in Nigeria that prematurely stymies one's sense of enjoyment and fun because you're approaching your 40s.
Pls allow your natural self and enthusiasm to come out wherever you are. Perhaps spandex minis won't work (lol) but no reason why you can't execute your eighties/nineties mish-mash steps to D'Banj or whomever at gatherings such as the one you describe.
I used to be really embarrased at my mom when she publicly 'danced disco' way back when, but looking back now, I'm fiercely proud that she did and will carry on the embarrassing tradition with my kids. Personally, I refuse to sit on the sidelines for another 50years of my life because I'm approaching 40. Ko s'arugbo ni Ghana. (No oldies in Ghana).
I wish you and your family all happiness this year.
