sawubona musicjam

Please take the - FAKENESS - OUT of the Sawubona Music JAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Day to ALL,
oshilli ngaipi ghazzies,

i am a bit confused about this whole Sawubona Music JAM, - please dont get me wrong i support anything for my Home (AFRICA) and what the people are doing to promote african music.

But the music that i hear on this site which is supposed to go onto the final Sawubona Album, is NOT even COLSE to any music that is done in southern Africa, 90% percent of the music on here is reggae music (reggae music is NOT - AFRICAN!! =i t is a style that some of the african people have adopted from JAMAIKA) also the way they talk on the ongs is NOT even close to AFRICAN.

i really support this project, BUT please DONT mess it upü for us AFRICAN musicians, by showing the world the wrong side of african music, by using the NAME - Sawubona for the Project, - or maybe try to intergrate MORE real AFRICAN artist to work with international artist (and not just hav - international artist make songs, they THINK are AFRICAN)

i hope you dont get me wrong on this one, i am not someone who waist precious energy on hate, or anything, THIS was just something that bothered me, like everytime, i got on the site, ana checked it out.

I wish you guys still a lot of success and luck for the future, adn HOPE we can still do great music together for a GOOD cause!

peace na respect

EES

cd review

by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More
