| Award-winning RNB star, John Legend |
We have just started an awesome month, August, which means a lot to the people of this country. Women's month is all about love, music and all things nice. We have a lot to celebrate as women and as South Africans. It is at this time of year where women of South Africa are celebrated and should be celebrated and shown major respect. Women are usually celebrated through music and as usual, celebrations are in order for this year's Women's day.
There are a lot of celebrations to look out for this month, but one that I am excited about is the John Legend one. With the cold weather we're having in Johanneburg, John Legend is what every woman needs right now. He has songs that will keep us warm for days! Supporting acts for this show are Mi Casa and the lovely Metro Fm presenter and SA Idol judge, Unathi Msengana. Let's go and support this event. Also look out for him as he makes an appearence on SA Idol this week. www.myspace.com/John Legend
I am a hard core John Legend fan, I love the guy. It is a total blessing to be listening to "Tonight" while just chilling indoors having some coffee or hot chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIts is amazing how people are so overwhelmed by overseas celebrities over our own south African celebrities.
ReplyDeletewe're excited because their music is what we get to hear most and they are not locals. we won't bump into them shopping at Southgate. we have evry right to be excited about their visits.
DeleteIt's great when these guys pay us a visit, but why is it that our local artists don't get the same reception in other countries? Are we producing low standard music maybe?
ReplyDeletewith our artisit it depends really on the country they visit.. they do receive warm receptions in other countries, but i'm guessing it's in countries our media does not focus on.
DeleteWe have amazing music in our country. They are loved in Europe and the rest of Africa. We just don't get to hear about it. Think of people like Hugh Masekela, Letta Mbulu, Thandiswa, the late Miriam Makeba, Soweto Gospel choir and many others.
