Africa Always Lived Around Fashion. We Just Didnt Know We Did... SHELINA

She says, ''In canada, where I live and persue my career as a fashion designer, i try to use most material from home, inorder to bring that essence of 'Uafrika' in my work.''
 ''Inasikitisha that vitu kama khanga, vitenge, kaniki, mashuka ya kimasai, nk ni vitu ambavyo tumeishi navyo kwa generations nyingi lakini hatukujua umuhimu wake na wala hatukua na muamko wa kuvitumia vitu hivyo kujitangaza kiutamaduni, mpaka miaka ya karibuni ndipo tumekuja kujifunza.''

WASICHANA WAKIBONGO HATUJIAMINI; NDOMAANA HATUPENDANI- Nuru the Light

If I ever decide to move back to Bongo for good, ningeanzisha organization ya kusaidia wasichana between the age of 11 and 18 because during teenage ndo muda wa kujenga self confidence ya mtu. Wasichana wa kibongo tuna hilo tatizo, hatujiamini, tuna uoga wa kufanya vitu ndomana tunachukiana bila sababu. Ukiona mwenzako amefanikiwa katika sekta flani, you get threatened na badala ya kujitahidi ufike pale ulipo, unajaribu kumjengea chuki ili arudi nyuma.

  Hakuna kitu niachochukia kama haters. Sikatai positive criticism, lakini kuna zile ambazo zinatokana na chuki binafsi. Ndomana kwenye blog yangu siruhusu comments za uchochezi na chuki. Siwapi nafasi watu waliokosa kazi, wanaojichukia wenyewe kumaliza stress zao kwa kuandika hateful comments kuhusu watu wengine.

LINEX, ''DONT FAKE IT, WAIT TILL YOU GET IT''

Akiwa anakimbiza na video yake ya Aifola kwenye tv stations nyingi Bongo, right now Linex anasema he is thankful kwa mafanikio ambayo ameyapata so far, hakuwahi kuhisi atafika hapo alipo. Lakini pia anaamini siri kubwa ya kuishi kwa amani, hasa unapokuwa star, ni kuwa humble, kujishusha, kuheshimu mashabiki wako na kuukubali ukweli.

   In our interview, Linex said, ''Heshima na kujitambua ni msingi mzuri unaoweza kumfanya mtu aishi poa kwenye umaarufu wake. Cha msingi ni kufanya kazi yako iwe nzuri na watu waikubali kwanza, hayo mengine yote yatafuata baadae. Ndio, kuna umuhimu wa msanii kuishi maisha tofauti na binadamu wa kawaida ili kujijengea image flani, lakini kama mfuko hauruhusu usilazimishe sana. Kama mambo hayajakaa sawa, hakuna haja ya kufake maisha. Bongo bado wasanii hatutengenezi hela kiivyo kiasi cha kutaka kuishi maisha ya ustar uliopitiliza. Subiri utakapojaaliwa kupata, utafanya fujo za aina zote.

WEKEZENI ZAIDI KWENYE UBORA WA VIDEO -RAQEY

Ukizungumzia bongo fashion events huwezi kuacha kumtaja Raqey, one of the biggest and best photographer there is... But he also makes music videos and to my opinion videos zake are unique and they have a different sense of style.

 When I interviewed raqey about making his videos, here's what he had to say, "I believe in making something of quality and not just a video. And I am happy that bongo flava artists wameamka na kuamua kufanya videos outside Tanzania, because we really lack equipments za kutengeneza good videos. Location pia ni tatizo, sehemu nzuri za kufanyia videos zinakuwa expensive so kwa msanii wa kawaida ni ngumu kuafford. Lakini haohao wasanii wakawaida wasidhani anything comes easily, wasikurupuke na million moja wanasema wanataka video. Msanii anatakiwa ajipange, ili akitoa kitu kitoke cha ukweli. Uchumi ni tatizo letu kubwa, basi tulia na kusanya hela. Halafu jipange ili ukitoa video iwe kidogo na hadhi ya kimataifa"

     ANTONIO AT MANDELA HOUSE, SOWETO, S.A

   10/08/2012 Antonio got an email kutoka Bodi ya Utalii wakimpongeza kwa kupata tuzo hiyo, na kumtaarifu kuwa wanatambua mchango wake katika kutangaza utalii wa Tanzania na kuhamasisha Watanzania kutembelea vivutio vya utalii nchini.  Kwa kutambua mchango wake, wao kama bodi ya utalii nchini wamemtambua rasmi,wamemtunuku cheti na tuzo maalum ambavyo atakabidhiwa rasmi 17 Agosti 2012 pale ofisi za TTB.
   He says tumepewa mdomo ili tujiumbie mema, mimi nilitabiri lakini pia nilijiwekea baraka katika malengo yangu, kwakuwa niliamini ukiweka nia, hakuna linaloshindikana.. so be careful what you wish so, cause you just mght get it!

KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB NUGAZ, YOU DESERVE IT.
 

TUWEKE NGUVU KATIKA KUWASUPPORT UPCOMING PRODUCERS -HERMY B

This is interesting, hivi unajua kwamba kuna baadhi ya kazi mtu hawezi kuendelea kufanya baada umri fulani kupita?? Kazi kama modelling, acting, singing, etc etc etc... Sasa according to Hermy B, ukiifanya kazi inayohitaji ubunifu, after a while unaishiwa creativity, hivyo unatakiwa kutafuta ustarabu mwingine kimaisha.. Lol! But seriosly ifike time wewe km artist ambae uko kwny game miaka zaidi ya 15, fanya kitu advanced zaidi, km kuproduce muziki au kuwa na agency ya kusaidia upcoming artists. Vilevile producers wa muziki ambao mmeshafanya kazi muda mrefu, kwanini msiinvest katika kuwapa uwezo producers wachanga ambao ni wabunifu zaidi, they have the time, they have the spirit, they have the dedication??

Ramadhan kareem... Stay blessed!

KWANINI MANAGERS TUSIFORM CHAMA CHETU?? -MANENO

Alimmanage TID enzi hiizooo, kisha akammanage Diamond na baadae Sam wa Ukweli. he recently just terminated his contract with hit artist Rich mavoko kwa sababu ambazo wote wawili wanazielezea kiutofauti but bottom line is Maneno as a manager played a huge role kwenye mafanikio ya hawa wasanii.
   Tatizo kubwa ambalo tunao kwenye music industry is that msanii anaona yeye ni mjauji zaidi kuliko manager. and that the success anayopata ni kutokana na nguvu zake, which is very wrong. imagine manager ndo anayempika msanii, anamset katika njia ambayo anahisi ni rahisi kuuza kazi zake, anambrand kama product ili aweze kumnadi kwenye market, anahangaika kumtafutia producers, sponsors, shows, deals, etc.. manager ndo ambaye anafikiria maslahi ya wasanii, anayaweka mbele hata kabla ya kwake mwenyewe. Iweje msanii anapofanikiwa kuitwa star na kuingiza shs mbili mfukoni anamdharau manager wake? mtu aliemtoa from the lowest?? hii mbayaaa
   Anyways, maneno anadai kwamba haimsumbui kuhama from one artist to another. infact it makes him proud kwamba Diamond is one of the leading bongo artist tulienaye na anatamani kumuona akifika mbali zaidi.
   Here is what he had to say, ''dhana ya kwamba mi najaribu kuwadidimiza wasanii ambao nimevunja nao mkataba si kweli, mimi nafurahia mafanikio yao. tena natamani sana kuwatengeneza TID wengine kama sita hivi, na Diamond wengine kama watano hivi.. ili bongo flava izidi kukua. Lakini mamanager tunadharaulika sana, kwanini tusiunde chama ambacho kitakua na sheria za kutulinda na kutuongoza? hii itatupa msimamo hata  kwa wasanii ambao tunawasaidia halafu baadae wanatuona si lolote, si chochote.."
    Maneno was inspired to manage artists by Dj Venture whom he admires for his dedication and extra effort in working.. he is currently managing watanashati group...
