One aspect of music we all love specially when it comes to our favorite artistes is the aspect of music collaborations between said artistes. For as long as I can remember the idea of  musical collaborations like duets and so on have always got me excited. Whenever we hear of collaborations between big time artiste we just know right away its going to be either a great album or track.  From their incredible vocals to the awesome instrumentals and beats, albums like Beyonces ''The Lion King'' ,  Major Lazer, DJ Snake and Mo's song ''Lean on'' , the song   ''I Dare You' ' by Kelly Clarkson featuring a diverse world artistes and so on, have never failed to impress us.  Sometimes when listening to all these artists vibe together you can't help but wish they'd always collaborate and release more outstanding music.   Speaking of music collaborations lets talk about an important aspect of today's topic;  Musical Ensembles also kn...

   Today on talkish I'll be sharing a few really beautiful poems from some young and incredible poets/writers,  Poems have always been a beautiful way to express ones feelings and ideas, I for one  could read a poem now and the next think I know am deep in thought, feeling the essence of the poem and trying to understand the emotion the writer is conveying,  So many people do not understand the beauty of a poem and how it describes life, love, human nature and so on through beautiful words and rhythms, So today I hope we all learn to feel the true message behind poems.  With all these said, let's get to it, by penspeak. by penspeak. by muna by muna   by flower of mine

INSPIRING-causing you to feel confident about yourself or eager to learn or do something. (Cambridge Dict.)  Many people have inspired us to do the things we felt we could never do or felt were hopeless and so today I'll be looking at some African women who have not only inspired me but have inspired millions of  people across the world. These amazing women have defied stereotypes, stood up for what they believed in, and have gone the extra mile to do what others said they couldn’t. Without further ado, lets dive in to see their amazing stories, Iman elman(left) with sister IIwad Elman (right) Iman Elman, when I first heard of Iman Elman I was beyond inspired not only by her selflessness but the selfless dedication of the entire Elman family. Born in October 1982 in Somalia, Iman and her family fled Somalia to escape the then ongoing civil war, her father Elman Ali Ahmed a social activist stayed behind and was subsequently assassinated, You'd think that such a tragedy would ...

         If I were to ask how we all were doing right now, I'd probably get answers ranging from ''I'm fine'' too ''fine, how was yours?'' and if I should ask how we thought the world was doing today, what then would we say? we might probably say that the world is fine and if we thought it was fine, then let's take a good look at the society we live in or the places we call home. Do they look fine to us? When you look, listen and read carefully on everything happening in the world today, we'd see that there are a lot of problems, we wake up every day to news of more violence, killings, ravaging diseases, war, and more catastrophes than we can keep track of, we hear of thousands dying and suffering all across the globe, sometimes we even become used to hearing such news and on hearing them we shake our heads in pity or in some cases we offer a simple prayer. And when the question of who or what is to be blamed is asked, we quickly point fi...

Hey y'all, thanks for taking time to check out this blog, as said in my  about page , it's for all you wonderful people out there, so without further ado let's begin... I recently became very interested in the AFROBEAT genre, previously I generally thought that AFROBEAT is the present day, catchy tuned, racy and upbeat music from artists like Wizkid, Davido, Shata Wale, Diamond Platnumz and the likes, though I wasn't too far from the truth,  After I had done a little digging around the net and all, I found out that AFROBEAT is the Nigerian-Ghanaian musical style pioneered by Fela Kuti in the 1960s, in fact, Afrobeat which is actually what most of us listen to today is almost if not entirely different from AFROBEAT,  Getting confused?  Simply put Fela's AFROBEAT has no letter "s" at the end while our "new day" music has one. With that said, what then is AFROBEAT? AFROBEAT is a musical genre or form of music with origins in West Africa, it's a ...
