More good vibes
Right, good people.We are back with the first edition for this year. We sincerely thank you for the support in 2019.This year, we rededicate ourselves to serve you with the best music, lifestyle and fashion content.
Like most things in this cosmos, 2019 had a fair balance of the good and the bad.
This week, I want to us to take a look at the bad vibes we should definitely leave behind us, and some of the good vibes we want 2020 to emulate.
Before we delve too deep into the topic, I think it is only rightto congratulate the artists who made it into the tjilawards edition! If ever there was a positive springboard you could use to propel your entertainment career in Namibia, it is print media. Which brings me to the first vibe we need more of in 2020.
We need young artists to keep dominating the industry like they did in 2019 with the positive vibes! We saw the likes of Lioness, King Elegant, KpIllest and Top Cheri shift the sound of Namibian music and usher in a youthful energy that had us all proud of Namibian music, while the bitter ones hated on the sidelines. Namibian music has never been this progressive and we need a continuous stream of new artists elevating the industry.
One vibe we definitely need less of in 2020 is the division among musicians. Even though not nearly enough, there are platforms that recognise the work of Namibian entertainers and we need to rally behind them.
Let’s be honest, this conversation of the Namibian Annual Music Awards (NAMAs) not recognising certain artists is exhausted now. We have been subjected to division in the music industry in particular, where the parties who complain about not being recognised by certain platforms can’t even tell us why they are not recognised.
The Namibian production game in 2019 was impressive. From Mr Glo, Slaughter Hauze, DJ Chronic and more. In 2020, we need to elevate those vibes! We have seen the rise of good Namibian producers giving us what I think are beats of a global standard. We talk a lot about wanting to see Namibian musicians on global stages, but I think we need to include our producers into that narrative.
Another bad vibe we need to leave behind is showing up late to events. It does not make you seem cool.
And to my fellow concert-goers, if you know you are tall, move to the back! My fellow short people will feel me on this one. You are selfishly obstructing the view for everyone behind you and it’s not like you paid more for the ticket than we did.
Carrying the good vibes from 2019, in this edition you can look forward to a feature on DJ Spuzza, Lady May Africa, Eagle FM and more. Until, next week, it’s goodbye for now.
