ASA, SOULFUL WISDOM

I have been digging this soulful sister for a long time and I thought it'd be far out to share it with blog folks.Asa is a throwback from an era when music was truthful,sincere and heartfelt.She is a talented singer,song writer,guitarist and poet.

Asa is one of the few Nigerian musicians I listen to and I wish other Naija artiste will take after her.One gets tired of all the senseless 'Yahoozees','Gongo asos','Timayas' etc (I wonder where the musicianship is or what the the hell they talking about).

My favorite cuts on the album are-No one knows,Fire on the mountain,and the other beautiful Yoruba folksy songs.

Asa reminds me of Billie holiday,Nina Simone,Rita Marley,Fela and other Nigerian Afro Rock groups of the 70s.More power to her soul!

LONG TIME NO BLOG!

This is a belated apology to all bloggers and friends for a long break from blogsville.I've been so overwhelmed with my post graduate thesis,the problems of the Hausa film industry,making ends meet and all the usual angst,plus I've not really been interested in anything recently.I dont want to believe am having writers block but methinks my muse has taken a long vacation or something.
Meanwhile inbetween waiting for my muse('yar fulani) and other problems,I will try to chip in a quip or two now and then.Cheers!
