<p>We have been out of commission for a few weeks enjoying the holiday with family, friends and foes. Personally I&#8217;ve had mad family around me so its made it difficult to post anything or even stay on top of any details sent over. However the beauty of having a dependable team is knowing that someone somewhere is logging on and looking after the interested of the music enthusiast. Even as one of our contributors and owners (Louis Majanja) is travelling overseas in Bogota he still manages to get a few moments to upload a song or two. Recently he was in Colombia and mentioned that African music is thriving out there &#8211; he was sitting in a bar listening to Mbilia Mbel in Colombia!!! </p>
<p>DJ Dona got back from Kenya and all he had were smiles as he talked about the growing online community we command in East Africa. Its been a blessing to be able to serve the Kenya peeps, DJs and entertainers. With bandwidth costs getting better and internet slowly becoming accessible at homes and mobile phones we believe our future products will be well suited in the East African communities. </p>
<p>Initially i wanted to post a Top Ten GetMziki tracks of the year (which I think I probably will), however I settled for some face time for the crew that actually make this site work. Currently we are 3 main writers, 2 main contributors and about 5 regional music suppliers. As we grow we are developing better systems to update music, to store music, to supply and provide better experience to you guys. There have been recent complains of downloads, browser issues, broken links and other face-lift issues. I assure you we have heard each and every word said on email or text and these are things we are working on slowly. We also have had suggestions about broadening the scope of our music, we cant talk about African hiphop yet we dont really cover each and every African hit track &#8211; we hear you and we are working with all these regional DJs and promoters to ensure once we commit to covering other countries, we have a steady supply of music as we have with Tanzania and Kenya. </p>
<p>For today if you have already ushered in 2010 &#8211; we promise big things this year. A lot of things are going to change and we hope you will stick with us as we engage a much wider audience to promote African Urban music. We appreciate each and everyone of y&#8217;all. Asante na Kheri ya mwaka alfu mbili na kumi. //</p>
<p>ps. We&#8217;ve got some taarab coming this year <img src='http://getmziki.com/beta/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

<p>A Few weeks ago I posted an article on my personal blog that was geared more towards how GetMziki works and what it takes to make it work. If you are interested you can read it here: <a href="http://leofaya.com/2009/08/06/how-we-are-getting-mziki-to-work-in-kenya/">Getting Mziki to work in Kenya</a>. My next post hopefully next year will be Getting Mziki to work in Africa. </p>
<p>However after a few days i realized I didn&#8217;t thank those people in the right forum which is where the magic first happened. So this is an extension of that article and also an acknowledgement of all the people who work relentlessly to make Getmziki what it is today. We are a team of Internet Enthusiast, Music Enthusiast and Content enthusiast. We all came together because we agree music should be readily available and that there is nothing bigger and better to distribute music more effectively than the Internet.  </p>
<p>Officially GetMziki existed in other forms since 2001 but over time and over economical changes the re-emergence of blogging as a vital communication tool, we rested on setting up the service last year January. It wasn&#8217;t until August 10th 2008 that we officially went live and figured that WordPress and Cloud computing would save the day. Today we boast over 500 songs posted and over 5,000 comments/reviews as well as over 7,000 constant users. We thank you &#8211; each one of you who continuously visit the website and continue advocating for hot fresh new sound from the motherland. </p>
<p>None of all this would be possible without Danny Munyi in Kenya, the man works hard for us as we do for him *your sneakers are still on their way <img src='http://getmziki.com/beta/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Chao Tolle at Capital, Steve Kintu &#8211; aka Mista Prime and Andrew Siro &#8211; aka DJ Mista Dru who collectively have made contributions and certain relationships possible for GetMziki. Blackstar Entertainment during our inception and for our long term partnership. Kwafujo Djs in Tanzania. Our Anonymous Naija resources as well as Tru spot in the US we thank you all so much. To all the Kenyan DJs that send me/us emails every week telling us whats hot and whats not hot &#8211; asante sana. To our Mombasa connections and all the new aspiring artists that hit us up from Kenya requesting to be on the site &#8211; thank you so much. To all the US artists who constantly splatter GetMziki links on their facebook pages and their friends lists &#8211; Asante sana. In Canada our connects Ghana Mixtapes &#8211; DJ Julz &#8211; Julz Media and all the West African link big up yourself. </p>
<p>But most importantly I want to say a big thanks to the core team &#8211; Louis Majanja, DJ Dona, Danny and Alvin &#8211; you guys make running this site seem easy. So thank you all for taking the time to review to collect to post and to manage the content of this website. I hope GetMziki version 2 will live up to its expectations (I still cant believe that we are running Beta). </p>
<p>Lastly all your readers and fans &#8211; its a pleasure knowing that if we dont post a new song in a day or two &#8211; people feel as though their lifestyles have been yanked from them. People actually get upset when we go quite for a week. I appreciate all your support, to all the US DJs that depend on this website to get hot new flava &#8211; thank you for all the mixtapes and for the big ups on your websites and on your shows. We look forward to a promising year and hopefully we will not stop&#8230;</p>
<p>We HAVE too many drops for GetMziki however I have never been a firm believer of name dropping my brand to get fame &#8211; I often felt that the quality of my work should allow people to name drop without me asking them to do so. However two particular artists have really inspired me &#8211; and inspired this site as a whole. P-Unit in Kenya who are under Musyokas flagship continuously challenge me to think about their brand differently, my first post on them was semi-negative but I knew I liked their collaborations with Nonini&#8230; So I will post their drop to say a personal thank you to them (and Nonini too). Second is K-Naan, who has been an inspiration and continues to inspire so many African artists &#8211; I have posted a video drop that he did for us (its typical for people to think that artist such as K-naan are not well engraved in the community &#8211; but believe it or not he reads the site from time to time <img src='http://getmziki.com/beta/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you frequent the site you will notice there are certain elements moving around and changing &#8211; the building process is never easy or simple. Waswahili wanasema Ujenzi haushi (or hauishagi). Meaning the building process never stops. </p>
<p>That said we have been trying to migrate our platform to a new more robust tool for a loooooong time. The site has increasingly grown over the last 11 months, so much that its become tasking to manage data, music and content. So please be patient with us as we attempt to move things around again &#8211; temporarily just to stabilize the data and functionality. </p>
<p>We do have major changes coming soon &#8211; but those wont happen today. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>GM Team</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clemo has been busy lately, not only is he busy making tracks, but he has been busy trying to get all his artists engaged with the web. Last week he emailed me and told me to support his new initiative &#8211; <a href="http://www.juacalisdiary.com/">JuaCalis Diary</a> &#8211; I would suggest signing up and seeing if its something you&#8217;d like to utilize to communicate on a one to one with your artists and or get involved in a more localized Social Network. Personally i am overwhelmed with the number of social networks out there so its hard for me to keep up, when Clemo told me to sign up I was like waaaai! another one &#8211; considering Nonini wants me to be a member of noninimusic.com now Juacali has his diary thing, by the end of the year I will be locked in to like 20 social networks from 20 different artists (Thats not even including the Facebooks and Myspace Groups I am a member of)</p>
<p>Is it only me or does anyone else see the problem here? I admire artists who embrace the internet however I think we need to utilize stuff that is already existing. Unless you can put all your artists on one platform which is what I am hoping this JuaCalis Diary will do &#8211; because if you expect me to sign up for Jimwats Diary and then Flexx Diary &#8211; kutakuwa na noma. Either way I support all local initiaves. Strangely with all these internet hoola baloo &#8211; you still cant find information on artists like Q-TAC and Alahola who is part of the Calif Records camp. I hope in future we would be able to Google any of these names and find their pictures, bio&#8217;s and music. Its part of our current strategy at GetMziki although its going to take a while but we are trying. </p>
<p>I have a funnel of new music I need to process so please sit tight &#8211; some new music is coming your way this week. </p>
<p>listen to Ocha here:</p>
<p><a href="http://getmziki.s3.amazonaws.com/qtac_feat_alahola-Ocha.mp3">Download audio file (qtac_feat_alahola-Ocha.mp3)</a></p>
<p>download the track here:</p>
<p><iframe scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" style="width:240px;height:26px;margin:3px;padding:0;border:1px solid #dde5e9;background-color:#ffffff;" src="http://cid-ae85b0166e40c75a.skydrive.live.com/embedrow.aspx/getmziki/qtac%7C_feat%7C_alahola-Ocha.mp3"></iframe></p>
<p>Bonus content &#8211; check out this Alahola Video feat JuaCali (I love this track and video shiiiit) I think its the intro to JuaCali&#8217;s Ngeli ni ya Genge album&#8230; ITS SICK.. Wai wai wai.. </p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1802" title="ken-razy2" src="http://getmziki.com/beta/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ken-razy2.jpg" alt="ken-razy2" />After Ken Razy stormed in the scene with his catchy hit &#8220;Ti Chi&#8221; many people were counting him off as a one hit wonder. After releasing a couple of singles in 08 (<a href="http://getmziki.com/beta/?s=ken+razy" target="_blank"><strong>Click Here for Ken Razy&#8217;s past features On GetMziki</strong></a>), he starts off the year with the banger &#8220;Ashu Kwa Shu&#8221; feat. V6 also signed to Jomino records.</p>
<p>When I first got this track a couple of months ago I immediately wanted to showcase it on the site but the label wanted us to wait until they had officially released the song. I&#8217;m not surprised that the song is on the radio stations top 10 charts after a couple of weeks after its release. This song is one of those songs that will be a dance floor packer for the next couple of months.</p>
<p>There are a couple of 2009 songs from Ken Razy in the streets and from what I&#8217;ve heard so far, his debut album should be something to watch out for. We will be showcasing some of those songs in the next couple of weeks. Lets keep it on the music people!!!!!</p>

<p>After the victory by Obama last year and the song &#8220;Swagger Like Us” by T.I driving the streets crazy at that time, I thought of a way of flipping the script to reflect that historic win. I immediately thought of the basic idea , ran it through a couple of artists, and the ones that came through first were K-Nel and Bamboo. They jumped in the studio to give their take on the 2008 elections “swagger” year and the result is a winner. Immediately the &#8220;Obama Swagger&#8221; song premiered on Homeboyz radio, the calls and comments coming from various sources was that the song had held it&#8217;s own weight as compared to the original version. This is one of those street songs that capture your everyday life and meant for everyone since we all got some type of &#8220;swagger&#8221; in us. Also, Bamboo is in talks to sign to K-Nels Stars limit roster. Enjoy the track!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Albert Mangwair aka Mangwea, Mangwair, Ngwea or Ngwair has been featured on Getmziki before (Click here), so I will just go straight to the songs &#8220;Speed 1-20 and &#8220;Nipe Deal&#8221; / &#8220;Nipe Dili&#8221;.  I&#8217;m sure all my Bongo fans will be happy with this post.</p>
<p>I had started writing the post for the &#8220;Nipe Deal&#8221; song when my Tanzanian contacts emailed me the &#8220;Speed 120&#8243; song which I have been trying to find a good copy for a few weeks now. The song is currently a street anthem in TZ and slowly bubbling to the charts.  On &#8220;Speed 120&#8243;, he enlists the help of Chidi Benz (One of my favourite artists In TZ right now ) for a perfect blend and collabo. &#8220;Nipe deal&#8221; is a song that has been bubbling on the underground for a minute and its now spreading like world fire. Mangwair just recently wrapped up shooting the videos for the songs, which should take the songs to higher heights. I know I will be adding &#8220;speed 120&#8243; on my serato and rocking it at my shows.</p>
<p>Enjoy the tracks!!!!!!!</p>

<em>Prime (Kintu), Cee (Chris), D-Block (Danny), Smallz (Brian), French (Brian), Edu-G (Edward), Nyota (Nyota), Amazing (Alex), Makumbi (Marcus), Zoom (Moses), Dru (Andrew) &#8211; not in order in this pic</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve worked in the Entertainment industry for a while both in the US and in Africa. I worked for a record label in the US for close to 3 years and then moved back to Kenya worked for Entertainment companies for a year, started my own and then eventually ended up on Radio. I guess I am what you can call well rounded &#8211; or gone full circle when it comes to being able to dabble my hands in the Music industry.</p>
<p>While in Kenya I had the opportunity of working with some of the most talented individuals, DJs, promoters and business owners. But by far my greatest experiences were spent working with the local DJs because i got to play a part in feeling the music, feeling the crowd and it reminded me of my tenure at the record label in the US. Its with this same passion that I started this site with my partners and continue to carry the same voice throughout most of my online journeys.</p>
<p>That said every year my partners in Kenya send me music sets of work we had done back in 2005/2006 (thats a long time ago) but whats phenomenal is that the material still sounds so good and so fresh today. So whenever this time of the year arrives we celebrate our existence, our success and failures and most importantly our friendship by sharing this work amongst ourselves.</p>
<p>In 2006 I built a radio show called Prime Time Radio which was to be hosted by DJ Prime and DJ Cee. The show was to be syndicated in Tanzania and Uganda &#8211; the first time these two were ever going to be on radio, the fruits of which are attached below. (They will kill me for sharing this sets but I think its worth knowing these two personalities the way I knew them).</p>

<p>I also grabbed some images a blast from the past you can scheme through &#8211; Most of these were taken during the Chart awards and some during some of our events in Tanzania and in Kenya. But these are all some of my fond memories with my Entertainment posse &#8211; Blackstar Ent. Enjoy. And although many of these people are doing different things today including myself &#8211; its always nice to reminisce and think about how we changed the game in East Africa at one point&#8230; Special shouts to Prime (Kintu), Cee (Chris), D-Block (Danny), Smallz (Brian), French (Brian), Edu-G (Edward), Nyota (Nyota), Amazing (Alex), Makumbi (Marcus), Zoom (Moses), Dru (Andrew)&#8230; Thanks for the years &#8211; Am coming home soon ha ha ha..</p>

<p>Okay the last song  in this new Music Tuesday will have to be something candid and uplifting. So how about this brand new Sanaa. Now normally people have said I am biased towards Sanaa coz I think she is a cake (trophy chile). Uwongo Mbaya &#8211; Sanaa sure enough is a cake but she can also sing, whats intriguing about her she has a tendancy to pick good songs and her swahili is up to my standards of expectations&#8230; wai wai..</p>
<p>Clemo blessed this track with some crazy Coastarian sounds and instruments, listen to the accordions and flutes. I spent a lot of my youth time listening to Taarab, and this song captures a few of those elements it almost feels like I am walking down Malindi. This is definitely not a song I would play at a club but you can bet I will be playing it over and over on my ipod. Awesome track &#8211; BEAT YA CLEMO!!! (Shorty can sing though, dame anaimba jo!! Anaimba kama Chiriku!! jamani lol)</p>
<p>Enjoy the track &#8230;</p>

<p>Its 2009 and my promise to everyone is to world premier some Bongo flava music every couple of weeks. The first exclusive is &#8220;Siwezi&#8221; by TID from his upcoming album &#8220;Prison Voice&#8221;.  A lot of my Bongo fans have been hitting me up for this track for a couple of weeks now and I&#8217;m sure my inbox will take a &#8220;breather&#8221; for a few days now.</p>
<p>After serving four months in jail on assault charges and being pardoned by the president In December, TID is hard at work in the studio crafting hits. The song first single &#8220;Siwezi&#8221; was released while he was in prison in November. TID&#8217;s music catalog is long too mention, but some of TID&#8217;s older songs I still bump today that show his longevity and artistic ability are &#8220;Watasema sana&#8221;, &#8220;Zeze&#8221; and &#8220;Siamini&#8221;.</p>
<p>On this post I&#8217;ll let the music speak for itself but I&#8217;m curious to see what people think of the track.</p>
<p>Enjoy and don&#8217;t forget where you first heard it!!!!!!</p>

Salif Keita (born August 25, 1949) is an internationally recognized afro-pop singer-songwriter from Mali. He is unique not only because of his reputation as the Golden Voice of Africa, but because he is an albino and a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali Empire, Sundiata Keita. This royal heritage meant that he should never have become a singer, which was deemed to be a griot’s role. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salif_Keita" target="_blank">more ..</a>)</p>

<p>The second born of twelve children to Nigerian émigrés in London, Siji spent much of his early childhood in Lagos and London before coming to the US to further pursue his musical ambitions. His own cultural heritage combined with the political and social movements of the age, exposed young Siji to the insurgent, politicized music of the Afrobeat legends Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Tony Allen as well as the soulful grooves of Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and Otis Redding. His parents, in particular, his father, loved music, but like most children of hardworking immigrants, Siji was urged by them to pursue a career in the professional fields of medicine or law. But the lure of the music was too strong. In the nineties, when London was bursting at the seams with new music and groups like Loose Ends, Soul II Soul, and D-Influence dominated the scene, Siji’s attention was captured and he began to follow his passion for making and recording his own music.

<div id="bio-essay-full" style="display: none;">Born and raised in the Central African Republic, Boddhi Satva – real name Armani Kombot-Naguemon – was raised on an eclectic diet of Jazz, R&amp;B, Hip-Hop and Funk as well as traditional African music including Soukous, Makossa and Ndombolo. A move to Brussels in 2000 saw him begin to develop his production talents as he was slowly seduced by the sounds of House and most notably the productions of Kevin Yost and Alton Miller.</p>
<p>A meeting with Miller in 2005 resulted in the two collaborating on the well-received Prelude To A Motion EP, released on trail-blazing Paris-based Atal Music. Several more excellent productions have followed on the imprint including last year’s ‘Moina Ya Mokili’ featuring Abel Tabu.</p>
<p>Satva’s Afro-beat productions have also caught the attention of world-renowned Afro-beat and world music tastemaker Osunlade, on whose Yoruba Records imprint he released Satva’s four track EP ‘Satva Varti’ in mid 2007. Satva has since contributed several other remixes to the label and will shortly release a full-length album showcasing his ever-evolving talents.</p>
<p>2008 has seen him continue his winning run. Along with establishing his own Offerings Recordings imprint, Bubble Soul, Seasons Limited, Offering, Seed and Ocha have all been clamoring to release his now well-known ‘Ancestral Healing’ mixes and productions this year. Now, with ‘Punch Koko’ set to drop on Vega Records, his profile is set to rise further.<br />

<p>We promised in the begining of the week that we would have some heat and some fire from Amani. Attached is her new hit sing called 2nite (Tonight). I totally like this song, these are the kind of songs that remind me of Kenya &#8211; I like the whole English and sheng integration with swahili. I personally like Amani&#8217;s style she sticks to her roots and keeps it real with what she knows how to do best.</p>
<p>This song reminds me of some maasai sounds and some kitui sounds &#8211; Am not sure who the production is by but none the less its a good tune. The first time Ive listend to a whole song and no Ulopa has been dropped or Ogopa in the whole song&#8230;  &#8220;Tonight am letting go&#8221; GOOD TUNE, BIG TUNE&#8230;</p>
<p>Enjoy the track</p>

<em>image courtesy of Didge &#8211; Facebook</em></p>
<p>A few years ago marketers and record labels came up with the term Neo-soul to define What they called Nu-soul which was a sub genre for contemporary urban r&#038;b music. The Music was a hybrid for the 70&#8242;s influenced soul music fused with the current jazz, latin, African, hiphop, house and sometimes funk music. With time this genre phased out as the artists denounced its ownership and often didn&#8217;t want to be classified as Neo Soul artists because it restricted their growth or their breadth of music.</p>
<p>Often we would listen to people like Fantasia and classify them as Neo Soul, while all along she considers herself an R&#038;B singer. So came with the fall the death of Neo Soul as we knew it then&#8230;(Am not saying the music is dead but the terms of definition have changed over the years). Today we are faced with a similar dilemma as marketers as entertainment proffessionals and as music enthusiast. We are struggling to classify the new sound coming from Africa as a whole and the sub genre coming from Kenya in particular. At GetMziki we have been having a constant dialog about where to bucket these new sounds we have been collecting and its increasingly becoming a daunting task. We therefore have decided to open up the forum to our user base and hopefully something will strike a cord.</p>
<p>Some Kenyan artists classify their music as Afro-fusion, some classify their new sound as Afro-Soul, personally I have always called this new sound Kenyan Urban Soul. Some call it Urban Benga &#8211; or Kapuka Soul&#8230; The truth of the matter is we have to come up with one word or one term that will stick and provide the benchmark for Kenyan Urban Soul music. It gets more complicated when you compare these sounds with other similar sounds within the region&#8230; (I have attached a TID and Wyre ballad that will throw you off completely). That said &#8211; please listen to the following songs, these are the new sounds of AFRICA, this is AFRICA/ Kenya reinventing itself to compete and collaborate in the on going onslaught for the Global R&#038;B Market. I personally love and adore these types of music, because they demonstrate the vocal capabilities of our artists, they stretch the music and the instruments to the core &#8211; the allow our language to be heard in different ways&#8230; So to me I call this &#8211; Kenyan urban Soul &#8211; KUS Music ha ha ha &#8230; // please help us define what this sound is.. What do you think this should be?</p>
