FUSE ODG ft Tiffany- AZONTO OffIcial Video





FUSE ODG ft Tiffany - Azonto was a hit last year and FINALLY they got an OFFICIAL VIDEO! i must say I like it, because I normally get very disappointed after videos come out and the music is sooooo good, good example is 'KOLOM' which is a very good song yet the video is very disappointing. and Tiffany looked great! i mean man she is SEXY and she showed it in the video. not too much make-up simple and just HOT!! well watch and and tell me honestly what do you think?

Ghana Music Awards

GHANA GHANA GHANA !

Every year in April is the Music Awards, where the artists have their chance to get an award and be nominated.
this year they had 22 nominies including best artist of the year, high life artist of the year, rapper of the year, gospel artist of the year, album of the year and so on.. but best believe SARKODIE took home 4 Awards including Artist of the year, Most popular song of the year, Best rapper of the year and Vodafone song of the year, being nominated 9 times ! He defo deserved it as he took over last year. Sarkodie this is just the beginning we will see more of you this coming years!

Other winning artists included Kwabena Kwabena with High life artist of the year, 4x4 won Best Group of the year and Efya with female vocal of the year.

To be honest I was expecting an award for artists like Keche, Castro and R2Bees as they have done well during the year, but not winning an award should not stop us from listening to their songs. They are doing pretty well and we will be hearing more from them soon.

Sarkodie once again you did great! even though U go kill me video was very dissapointing!
more about the Videos soon.

there were also other great guests in the building to watch the Music Awards such as Mrs Rawlings and her family and friends, Miss Malaika, Miss Ghana UK 2011, Van Vicker, Nana Ama McBrown etc.

news from our beautiful AFRICA.

DROUGHT IN EASTERN AFRICA

As you may watch the news there is a hunger crisis in East Africa;
This has left people in Ethiopia and Somalia to die out of hunger. seeing this on TV and reading about this makes me sick and ofcourse caught my attention because it is happening in myownAFRICA. this has been going on for almost a year and I was recently reading about a 11 year old Ghanaian boy who raised money for Somalia. I was very proud and it made me realise that everyone can support. i mean a little will do. We should always remember that AFRICA may have over 50countries but we all become one, so when one is in trouble we should become one and help.

This little boy named Andrew aimed to raise 20m ghana cedis and got to raise 300pounds he told BBC he can do it and guess what as a 11year old he has done perfect.
all I can say is God bless you  !

RAPE VIDEO IN SOUTH AFRICA

the subheading says it all.. RAPE! a very disgusting word!!
a 17 year old in South Africa (apparently has a mental age of a 5 year old) has been raped by seven men. HORRIBLE! they were recording the rape and this has spread all over. The young girl was gone missing in March 2012 and was found after the video came out. The video is over just 10minutes and the girl was screaming "your forcing me", The goverment has asked everyone who has the video on their mobile phone or anywhere else to delete it or can be charged for the country's sexual offence law.
[sources from bbc website]
8 people have been arrested for kidnap and rape and I just hope the girl is doing fine now.. PLEASE LADIES if you have been RAPED or even sexually HARRASED by any male(s) do not KEEP SILENCE!! speak because there is help..

It may hurt but the quicker you report it the sooner they can get the person behind bars, RAPE is not the way forward!!!!!!!!
if you want to read more about rape or your not so sure if you have been raped please read this:
abuse  and get help because YOUR NOT ALONE!
 


Azonto Movement


AZONTO MOVEMENTS 

If your an african you will surely know what I am talking about. 
for me the azonto dance was regonised after the song 'You go kill me- by Sarkodie' came out. and there was a video posted on youtube where a young lady was doung the azonto dance. since then it was spread accros the world and many started to do the dance and Ghanaian artists made songs where you can show your moves.

In 2011 the azonto dance was everywhere and every african party you attend there was a so called 'Azonto competition' now in 2012 it is still going strong but the question is for how long?
Songs with strong impact in azonto are 'You go kill me -Sarkodie, Obuu Mo- EL, Abodatoii- Gasmilla, Lapaz Toyota- Guru, Yenko Nkoaa- Stay Jay, Kolom- Buk Bak and many more.

In the UK you also have songs relating to the azonto such as Azonto- Fuse ODG ft Tiffany, Wadi mi Sika - Vibesquad ft Mista Silva, Flava and Kwamz  and the recent song by Mista Silva, Skob, Kwamz and flava called BOOMBOOMTAH. surely there will be more 'azonto' songs coming but lets see how long this will last and who comes with some new moves. if you know you can do the azonto post your video on youtube !

one of the first Azonto dance in Ghana 2011

The latest UK azonto song what do you think guys..

 Back to HI-life







The one and only Charles Fosuh also known as Daddy Lumba.

The Ghanaian singer based in Germany has been a great example of the modern hiplife. He was such a success in the late '80s and '90s. with over 25 albums he bought Hi-life into a different level and has hit singles like 'Wo Ho Kyere, Obi Ate Meso Bo, Poison, Pony, Tokrom and many more. And the recent collabo with Sarkodie (Rapper and artist of the year 2012) I dont think its over for mr Lumba we will surely hear from him soon!!
