Have you gotten your Green Card? If you have, then Wanlov!
No, not that one. I am taking about Wanlov's long-awaited debut CD called Green Card. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I have really enjoyed the experience. The album is a masterpiece that has a focus on Ghana, Diasporean issues, Ghanaians abroad, etc. I remember hearing his first single 'Kokonsa' and I immediately realised a fresh new sound then. It has taken Wanlov the Kuborlor about 5 years to work on his LP and it was well worth it. It is a great album for Africans abroad to have.

Boi! Batman Samini wins best African artiste at MOBO's

...the sounds of our time
MOBO's 2006 winners
I was very excited to hear about Batman aka Emmanuel Samini's nomination for best African artiste at the Music of Black Origin (MOBO) awards. I was skeptical about his ability to win the award since he was competing against seasoned African musicians like Lebo Mathosa and Jose Chameleon, as well as the hottest group in Nigeria, P-Square. Batman emerged the winner and this just shows how far he is moving into the international limelight. He got one of the loudest cheers of the night after he said he was from the 'Continent of Black Origin' (COBO).

Efie ne fie - Home Sweet Home
Originally written on November 7, 2005
...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins I was 'shiing imprÉ›' (dozing off) in my international development class as a result of inadequate sleep. When my lecturer mentioned, "now, we shall see a movie about manufacturing in Ghana", I became wide awake. The movie was rolled with highlife playing in the background, and my mind tuned to the memories of riding around Kumasi and hearing Paapa Yankson's music blare through music shops' speakers. Home is where the heart is - Efie ne fie aka Home sweet home.
