The future is female

Feminism in music videos is alive and well all over the world. Namibia is not an exception as local artists have joined the global movement. The latest feminist anthem by Top Cheri titled Danisa calls on women of all shapes and sizes and careers to just dance. Today she talks to tjil about the song and its music video.The aim was to create a song that would inspire all kinds of women and let them know that they are capable of anything. Top Cheri says women empowerment is something she is passionate about, as we still live in a very unequal society.“I chose this theme because it is a topic that never stops being important to engage,” she said.The song Danisa, which, when loosely translated from Oshiwambo, means dance. It sees a group of ladies leaving their jobs and joining the artist on the road for a dance-off. The catchy lyrics say 'This is for my girls working hard every day, for girls playing mommy and daddy, and for girls pushing big wheels, living big dreams and paying big bills'. The artist says she is a proud feminist and she strongly believes in living in an inclusive society. The video that was published on YouTube on 20 June is currently sitting on 7 733 views. Top Cheri says she worked very closely with a team of people who assisted her in bringing her vision to life. Top Cheri says the video turned out as planned and she is very happy with the outcome. “It was extremely fun working with these women. A lot of them are people I know personally, and I was grateful to have them join me in celebrating ourselves and each other. “With every experience you learn, so the next project will be even better,” she said.Top Cheri is working on her debut album and she says her fans will expect a lot from her. She concluded by saying she is working on something that has never been heard of before and she wants people to get excited about what she referred to as great Namibian music.June Shimuoshili
