Chameleon Feat Kelly Rowland, 2face, Samini, Krotal, Awadi, Rola, Jozi – Everywhere You Go (GetMziki Exclusive)
With only 44 days to go before the start of the 2010 world cup in SA, tons of artists and companies are releasing various songs and commercials to showcase the event considering its gonna be a month long soccer madness showcase. One of the companies, MTN just released this World Cup song “Everywhere You Go” by Dr. Chameleon featuring an all star cast from across Africa and the US. The cast is Kelly Rowland from the US, Nigeria’s 2face Idibia, Ghana’s Samini, Cameroon’s Krotal, Senegal’s Awadi, Rola, South Africa’s Jozi, Zuluboy, and Kwesta, Slikour.
The song is a fusion of modern day R & B that is featured on the first part of the song while the second part incorporates traditional reggae-tone kicks and snares. My own personal opinion of the track is that they tried to have a “best of both worlds” track that resulted in a song that you would hear on your favorite urban radio show. I believe the song would have been great if they had incorporated some African sounds and vibe to it, considering that tons of African artists were going to jump on the track.
Enjoy!!!!!

Zamouna – Dj Awadi

Didier Awadi also Known as Dj Awadi is one of the pioneers of African Hip Hop. hailing from Senegal Awadi is or was a part of the group PBS which got alot of attention and helped put African HipHop on the map.He has collaborated variously with KRS-1 and performed at events such as reggae on the river. Zamouna sounds like a remake of an old African song which i cant quite place.
One of the thing we are trying to do with getMziki is to expand the market and the possibilities for African music within Africa, to us it doesnt make senes that an artist in Kenya,Nigeria or Tanzania struggles to sell 2000 CD’s in a country of 40 million and a continent of more than 700 million people.
