Nneka nailed it!

Jeez guys and gals...my lovers!

Its Friday already ): and I hardly wrote the last post. Forgive me my darlings,all the energies were directed towards this...Nneka in Uganda. Everybody (ok.the few people I know with a good musical ear) was talking about her and so was I.

Well,as we all knew,she did not disappoint. A couple of friends and I headed over to Goethe-Zentrum in Kampala for this much anticipated event.Was it a blast or what???

We had the beautiful Afro-sistah Ife as Mc and she also gave us a few of her songs...little girl from Bavubuka (okI'm just suspecting! who would teach such intelligent rythms other than Babaluku???) anyways,this Bavubuka girl encouraged US! YES US (women) to go higher higher,higher! Sooooo loved!

We had the beautiful Irene...ohhh la la...we love that girl with a sweet voice. She is one to watch out for!

Tshila as usual impressed
THEN!
NNeka!
This Nigerian-German sistah was sooooooo fly we got up and danced a bit and really appreciate her vibes. Good vibes all the way.
Now guys,there's so much to write about the show but ama let the pics do some talking.
Should learn how to handle the camera better na!

Ife the poetess and MC for the Night.

The beautiful and talented Irene.

Genius Tshila doing what she does best.

The star struck gals Esi,Irene and Tanya!

Nneka oh!

Nneka again-beauty!

Of Music

Music...The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.

It is amazing how sounds can create a mood. I love the sweet melodies of flute in the morning and love music in general.

What touches me mostly about a song is the words...words spoken in song.

We are blessed to have one such person,who has the ability to put words together and create a beautiful rhythm that touches the soul.Tshila

She is a dynamic musician with a good cause. Her genre of music is hip-hop and a bit of traditional influences. We all love her.

Tshila sings with a band that she often alters but always gets it right with the musicians.

Recently,she managed to raise a lot of money for the HIV/AIDS victims through the hope and healing through music do.

She ius a multi talented person with a big heart. A poet,writer and painter...oh and a software engineer...she has made an impact on Ugandan youth through her music and collabos together with Bataka squad.

This is she and we are all proud of her.

Oh..this is Tshila!

Gratitude...

I have a lot of time today...guys and gals...

But I have taken time off to say my gratifications for every good thing that has come my way.
See,sometimes we forget to say thank you for even the least that we receive.

My daughter reminded me of this today...she said.."Mom you forgot to say thank you" for something so little that I had just ignored. Now I know that we all ought to take time and be grateful for the little things that we receive...That is how the source of all things will trust us enough to grant us those big things that we so much desire.

Come to think of it. Its just like with the friends or work mates whom we chose to associate with. Being closer to them means that we trust and understand them enough to be around them. In the same way,the source will have to trust us in order to give himself/herself to us unconditionally.
This applies in terms of our roles in society,our ability to look after the underprivileged and the poor and so he will increase in our finances,increase in our social stands,increase in our every thing.

So today,just take a few minutes to say "Thank you" for all that you have...

In all things,give thanks...

Wishing you peace and love,
Esi
