Month: January 2013

Man, you won’t believe the opportunity Psys created for guys who have been rather idle (no offence) just before the Gangnam Style viral song came through.

 

We’ve seen the various parodies that guys all over the world have created, all with crazy humor ofcourse (otherwise what’s the point) and there reached a time when it became clear that the parodies are getting old.

 

That did not stop these Kenyan cats to make their own which as it turns out, is really hilarious. Honestly, I expected this to be just another waste of a click but it is actually very funny. I enjoyed every single part of this parody and so will you, as political as it is.

 

Check out ‘Ogwambo Style’ video below.

One of Mali’s greatest singers, Vieux Farka Toure son of legendary singer Faka Toure yesterday graced Kenyan with his presence in what went down as one of the greatest and most soulful concerts ever witnessed at the Alliance Francaise.

 

Check out the photos of the concert below.

Grape Vine’s Anyiko having the time of her life

 

Probably you’ve been wondering how Amani has managed to uphold her hot look ever since she’s been in public for the past 6 years. It now emerges that the Ogopa singer has been attending a beauty and health spa. She recently blogged with Slim Therapy and talked about her experience at Slim Therapy. Here’s the interview;

ST: What made you want to join slim therapy? What part of your body were you trying to tone?

Amani: I had lost weight and was looking to tone my thighs and stomach.

ST: What was your first impression during your first session? Where you well treated by all the staff?

Amani: The first impression I had of the place was great. The customer service was really good the lady explained to me the procedure and how it works and made me feel comfortable. At the end of the session I got a cup of herbal tea that was really nice.

ST: How many sessions did you do and what we’re the results? Have you had any comments from friends or family?

Amani: I did 3 sessions and the results were amazing I feel much more comfortable in a swim suit because my thighs are more toned. At the photo shoot everyone was telling me how toned i looked.

ST: Would you recommend slim therapy as a weight loss and muscle toning solution for your fans?.

Amani: I would definitely recommend it to my fans toning the thighs and waist after weight loss can be very tricky but slim therapy combined with your workout routine will give you amazing results.

ST: What do you think we can improve on in order for our clients to enjoy their slimming experience better?

Amani: It was a great experience but it would be even better if you played some soothing & music during the session.

 

Slim Therapy is a cosmetic beauty and health spa whose goal is to eliminate that unattractive looking cellulite, body fat, giving its clients visible results in weight and inch loss and skin tone improvement.

Most reggae artistes are humble to the core but Jah Cure, his humility is just something else. Dude walked all over Kibera, sat and chatted with the youths and even ate with them. He later boarded a lexus and drove off.

 

During his tour of the Kibera slums, Jah Cure was hosted by Kenya’s Krushal Entertainment Crew. Taking him through Kenya’s, scratch that, Africa’s biggest slum, Jah Cure got to witness first hand what very few international artiste have just heard about.

 

Here is a video of Jah Cure’s tour in Kibera. Check it out below.

Mwafreeka has worked as an MC, radio presenter and most recently as a TV show host but we can’t forget he has also been a freestyle and recording music artiste.

The rapper has now released a new single about his troubled childhood: dropping out of school, disappointing his mother and living with an alcoholic father who found his way to jail among other issues.

Stronga is a dedication to his father, Sospeter Ouma Ogada who  ultimately died in 1996. The track features Penya Africa’s Dela, who has featured in tracks with Sauti Sol and Mzungu Kichaa and is working on her sophomore album following her debut, Paukwa. Check out Stronga below.

What’s up with all the artistes leaving Calif Records? There must be something really messed up in this studio to make all these artistes abandon it a such a shorts spun of time. But as usual, Ghafla will be giving you the whole information about this after hearing both sides.

Meanwhile, the latest artist to leave Calif Records is Si-So and he doesn’t have any regrets judging by what he told Ghafla Kenya.

 

Infact, he was so eager to leave Calif Records that he recorded his new song, ‘Sema Ng’wee’ in another recording studio while still signed at Calif. This was actually part of the beef that brew between the two parties.

 

All Calif Records says is that they don’t work with lazy artistes and as soon as these ‘lazy’ artistes discover this, they opt to leave. Now this is all confusing seeing that immediately artistes leave the stable, they continuously release tracks and videos.

As we get to the bottom of this, check out Si-So’s latest video.

Ladies and gentlemen, what happens when East meets West? When Kenya meets Nigeria? I’ll tell you what happens: musical delectables! A gourmet array of musical delights that you cn’t help but dance to.

Harmony that cannot be refuted! 24 years ago, such a union produced an awesome bouncing little baby boy who you came to know as your uncle. On the 12 of December last year, a melodius, harmony infused track was created by Ma3 and 9con. For those of you who don’t know who 9con is, vacate from the rock you live under and read Ghafla more religiously!

But enough of that inane banter, let’s move to the matter at hand. Ma3 Band has a new face in it’s ranks and she is surely blessed by the gods! Her vocals are simply divine! And then the band was paired (by someone who must have been inspired by the muses) with 9con and magic was created! the song offers such seductive melodies from the lead singer and then 9con joins her to create such harmony! These two are quite the pair honestly! I would personally love to hear more from this pairing.

And the video shot by Enos Olik is also quite the offering! Clarence who? Shove off Clarence Peters, we now have Enos Olik. The video wjile rather reminiscent of Sam and the Womp’s “Bom Bom” but all in all, this is the direction we should head in to gain African recognition for our music: good music and good videos to go with them. If you want someone who can bring your song to life, tap into Enos Olik!

The song gets a straight 5 Ghafla rating and it deserves it! Infact, i would give it a straight 6 but i can’t. This song is strong in every aspect. from the video to the video to the mastering to the melodies to the choreography. This video is simply a touch of class and the song is more than that. I want to here such songs on the radio! Play this song on TV! This na quality music!

After leaving “Angaza” Gospel show on KBC TV in June last year, Gospel DJ Syke alongside Mombasa-based radio presenter Teejay Libanze got a radio show, “Off the Hook Reloaded” on Mombasa’s 95.5 Baraka FM. The show airs every Sunday between 11AM and 3PM and brags being the only Gospel live mix show in Mombasa and the entire Coast region.

With that success two their names, DJ Syke and Teejay Libanze have decided to set up also the first ever Gospel Jam session in Mombasa. Christening it “Katika Gospel Jam Session”, the inaugural show will be held Sunday (13th Jan 2013). Katika Gospel Jam Session will then be held on every other Sunday from 2pm – 8pm. It will be held at the Base in Mombasa town and the entry will be free.

 

DJ Syke is from Nairobi but travels to Mombasa on Weekends for his radio show and now the Jam session.

In an interview with Mambo Mseto’s Willy M. Tuva, Jua Cali gave fans a hint on when his next album will most likely come out when he was asked about his plans for 2013:

“Ku-release album yangu, Genge Yajayo. Kuna ngoma mbili nataka kuongeza hii January. So, labda February ama March (Releasing my new album, Genge Yajayo. There are two songs I want to add this January so it will be ready around February or March.”

He also spoke about how he wants to create an effective distribution system, “Nataka ikitokea hivi, mtu akiwa Mombasa, awe Lodwar aweze kuipata. Nataka ku-make sure Genge Yajayo ikitokea, iko kila mahali (I want for someone who is in Mombasa or Lodwar to get it immediately it’s out. I want to make sure Genge Yajayo is available everywhere.”

Jua Cali has already released Si Siri and Geti Kali as promotion for Genge Yajayo. The two tracks feature gospel artiste Juliani and former collaborator Sanaipei Tande respectively.

Singer Wahu Kagwi is the latest celeb to venture into business as a side hustle. She recently set up a fashionable salon at the Ground Floor of Krishna Centre in Westlands.

Set up in December last year, Afro Siri as it’s called, the salon was created from Wahu’s vision to create a place that understands the African man and woman’s hair and beauty needs and provides her clients with care and advice to look and feel their best, no matter what length or texture of hair, or skin tone.

Afro Siri’s first major assignment was providing hair and beauty services for all the singers and dancers during the “Niko Na Safaricom concert” held at the Impala Grounds late last year. Take at Afro Siri’s interior;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Way to go Wahu!

Cabu Gah released his diss track against gospel artists and the entire gospel industry in general. And i have to say, this track is tight!

As far as the instrumentals i suspect are sampled, they are awesome. The sound engineering is tiptop ensuring the instrumentals don’t drown out his vocals and the vocals don’t overpower the instrumentals. The lyrics are hard hitting and he doesn’t shy away from naming and shaming artists! He goes in hard at Holy Dave and the drinking allegations levelled by Pulse, M.O.G by referencing a rape case that erupted a few years ago. He attacks Kanji Mbugua… You get the drift.
He utilizes puchlines and his delivery is direct. He pulls no punches and he hits at everyone. Willy Paul doesn’t escape the lyrical jabs. I for one am excited to see him use his beef with virtually everyone to churn out creative material. That’s why i’m giving him the time of day on Ghafla. Because i think this song is awesome. No, it’s not a good attempt, it’s awesome.

But just as Tina KAggia said yesterday, hitting out at gospel artists is like kick boxing with a lame man. It isn’t fair because they are handicapped. They can’t respond given the Christian edict of turning the other cheek. It’s time he turns his sights to worthy game: Octopizzo. Hit at the lyrical genius that is Octo and gauge your lyrical prowess aginst his. A hunter is only great depending on the game he hunts. The Pied Piper is no elephant hunter!

But all in all, i give the song a 4 Ghafla Rating!

 

Remember when we told you that Avril was going to be launching her line of earphones? Well, thanks to Pendo(one of Ghafla’s upcoming artists to watch in 2013), we have obtained a picture of the merchandise. It looks like that first consignment has come through, and is going to be in retail soon. For those of you who are curious, take a look at the photo in detail by clicking the image to enlarge.

What do you think of the earphones? Leave your interesting or creative responses in the comment section below:

In what appeared as seemingly innocent jibes at each other, Kenya’s own version of Amber Rose, Huddah Monroe and Gangsta rapper Lyon Cash are currently embroiled in a vicious tweef on Twitter.

Lyon Cash is known to not shy away from controversy as seen recently  when he called out Prezzo via the same social network. Huddah Monroe on the other hand is known to speak her mind and worries about the repurcussions later.

Without further ado;

How it began;

Lyon Cash sends out this innocent tweet: “blond Goliath, i’m this generation king David. @ghaflakenya“

Huddah notices this and replies: “Ati he’s this generations King David…LOOL! You need to take several firm seats n***a- @LyonCash @ghaflakenya“

Lyon Cash becomes agitated he replies: “@HUDDAHMONROE i only talk to b***s talking money…i don’t talk to b***s making a living off p***y h**…get the f*** outta my timeline.”

And it’s all downhill from here. Hera are the rest of tweets;

Huddah Monroe catches a feeling: “N***’s tryin so hard,who knows who this guy is? He’s just tryna ride on other peoples fame #SWERVE– @Braso_smallz @GhaflaKenya @LyonCash“

Lyon Cash now goes on a rant:

Lyon Cash: “@HUDDAHMONROE b***h you think we ain’t straight because we don’t pay h**s like you some mind?!…bitch please, we real n***z. Try me.”

Lyon Cash: @HUDDAHMONROE ask collo, makenna, tamima if there is no reason i’m beefing them…i promise i’m taking you to h***s rehab in Cancun.

Lyon Cash: @HUDDAHMONROE i said i don’t argue wit b***s selling p****y…i got money to get out here…i’m out.

Huddah finally replies:

“Was with yo mother selling,- @LyonCash“

The tweef continues in their respective timelines…

A number of Kenyan artistes were nominated for the KORA Awards 2012. The ceremony took place in Cote D’Ivoire on the 30th of December and not 29th as had earlier been announced.

Kidum was the only winner from Kenya, even though the song that got him nominated, Mulika Mwizi, is credited to his country of birth, Burundi. In the track, he features Sana. He took home the Best Male East Africa award.

The Kenyan citizen by naturalization had to beat out fellow countrymen: Jimmy Gait (Furi Furi with DK), Ali Kiba (Single Boy with Lady Jay Dee), Redsan (Ila Wewe), Chris D (Aisha) and Mulatu Astatke (Ethiopie). Other Kenyan nominees include Marya and Camp Mulla in the Best Female East Africa and Best African Group category.

When you talk about the Kenyan hip hop industry and evolution, it’s hard and just plain silly not to have the name MC Kah or Ukoo Flani in context. Forget Kenya, let’s even talk East Africa.

 

Back then, he was a force to reckon. The type to leave you quite in meditation immediately he drops the mic after a freestyle full of an idealist’s thoughts and ambitions. Deep lyrics, not just the ‘sell music’ type of lyrics.

 

Some of you might have thought that this guys called it quits on music, but no! MC Kah is still going strong. More lyrical than ever. This guy might just save the Kenyan hip hop scene after all these madness.

True hard hip hop heads, worry no more for here is MC Kah’s latest video for the track ‘Hip hop for life’ off the album ‘Afree-Kah’.

The 12th edition of the KORA Awards was held in Abidjan, Ivory Coast a fortnight ago.

Dubbed the “African Grammy Awards”, the event saw Uganda’s and TPF judge, Juliana Kanyomozi, walk away with the ‘Best Female Artist from Eastern Africa’ accolade. Juliana beat our very Marya, Helen Berhe and Asther Aweke from Ethiopia, Saida Karoli of the Wachekekya fame and Ikraan Caraale from Somalia.

Juliana expressed her gratitude to her fans from the region saying; “Thank you all my loving family for the votes. As most of you know by now, we won the Kora award for best female East Africa. Thank u Kora for the recognition. Thank you Esther Naabasa, Michael Fingers, Steve Jean, Kaweesa and Onoh, I thank God for the opportunity to work with such amazing talent, thank you for sharing it with me on ‘I AM UGANDAN’. My God is an amazing God!!!”

“I am Ugandan” is the song that propelled Juliana to win the KORA award. Juliana worked on the song with TPF2 winner, Esther Nabaasa alongside other four Ugandan musicians.

Let’s just call it. I don’t think there was a bigger new year’s eve party than the Smirnoff Party (The Night) 2012 that went down a couple of days ago.

 

The international deejays, the massive, crazy crowd of revellers, everything was just ecstatic and memorable.

 

If you missed it, here is how the new year’s eve party was. Check out the video below.

Hate her or love her, Nigerian pop singer, Goldie Harvey, has her swag on check. She recently posted photos of herself enjoying her first class treatment; sipping some high-end champagne.

Goldie was flying from Lagos to South Africa. Talk about living the life on the fab lane! Take a look at the photos;

Chillin like a bawse

 

Octopizzo released a track on the very first day of 2013 to start off the year with a bang. Being the biggest artiste from last year, there is obviously still a lot of interest in the hitmaker.

The new video for his latest single, Swag, crossed 20,000 views on YouTube less than 10 days after its release. It won’t be the fastest watched YouTube video in Kenya but it’s definitely a milestone for the rapper who did not have a single video out eight months ago.

Swag is now Octo’s second biggest video of all time surpassing Toboa’s 15,000 views. At this rate, the video looks set to beat his biggest video yet, Ivo Ivo Ivo, which has taken four months to garner the 68,000 views it has now.

Award-winning radio presenter Mzazi Willy M. Tuva celebrates an important milestone today. It’s been seven years since he entered the studio to host one of the most acclaimed shows on radio today, Mambo Mseto.

On the special occassion, he explained how he got on air, which was, apparently, not planned:

“Nilikuwa nafanyiwa orientation, ilikuwa siku yangu ya kwanza kuingia kazini hapa. Kuna jamaa mmoja alikuwa ana-host show ya mchana lakini hakukuwa na Mambo Mseto. Patrick Kanyeki ndiye alikuwa mchana. Alijua Tuva anakuja hiyo siku kwa hivyo hakukuja. Basi nikaambiwa niingie na hata sikuwa nimejipanga. Niliingia studio nikashika mic na Mambo Mseto ilizaliwa.”

And on why he created the format the show has used over the years, “Hakukuwa na show ya muziki ya East Afrika, basi nikapata idea ya kuifanya.”

Mambo Mseto has gone on to spawn a television show, Mseto East Africa, which airs from 4:45 every weekday on Citizen TV. Happy birthday, Mambo Mseto. Here’s to many more years supporting the region’s music industries.

People do change and so does the talent. It only grows greater and finer.

This is Juliani back when he was still in the legendary Ukoo flani hip hop group and had just started gospel rap.

Chilling with other gospel artists, it’s hard to imagine how far this guy has come.

Click photo to enlarge.

He is the deejay who stays true to his roots, giving you the best of East African music in mixtapes that you just can’t afford to fast forward.

 

DJ Celeb first launched his first ‘Kenyan Flavor I Mixtape’ which was a favorite among many, and now he has completed the second part of the series, the ‘Kenyan Flavor II Mixtape’ which is now available online for free.

This is strictly Swahili music mix with the likes of Willy Paul and some of the best of Tanzania’s artistes being featured.

 

“This is a follow up to the Kenyan Flavor I Mix-tape but this is a back to back Mix-tape of some of my favorite Swahili jams which i have been listening to lately. It has some Gospel bongo tunes Feat. Willy Paul, Kaberere and Gloria Muliro,” DJ Celeb commented.

Listen to this new mix tape below.

The Jan-Worry heat seems to be getting to people! And the latest victim is Christine Apondi!

She seems to have lost her temper with Grand Pa Records and DNA and has taken to Facebook to express her frustration. She basically feels like they are part of the problem with Kenya’s entertainment scene going as far as alluding to their being the main problem. She used their club banger “Fimbo!” as her example of why Nigeria is miles ahead of the pack.

Personally, i feel that this is a simplification of the mighty nation’s (Nigeria’s) success! Nigerians indeed have superior entertainment but it’s not because Kenyans don’t try! We are just more rofessional and miles ahead of the pack interms of quality control!

Anyway, here’s what she said:

“Nigerians are busy doing collabos with international artists like Rick ross n David Guetta,kenyans are busy singing nye nye nye…“
