On Board_ernestkanjo


The best learning experience is traveling, there is little doubt about that. Traveling across the world, as a hobby, could be a very expensive venture, yet, it is amazingly rewarding. Better put, it is worth it. Gwendoline Ashu lives her life traveling across the world, not necessarily for work, but because it is her hobby. She is on the road, in the skies, in the water, discovering different parts of the world. What an exciting experience! Well, how much has she seen and heard in the process? Who does she meet during her trips? Where has she been to so far? By the way, what motivates her to keep moving round the world? At the verge of her visit to Gwendoline’s 50th country, she comes on radio to paint the picture of these travels. The Germany-based traveler is a rare guest we are having this time and will be speaking on ON BOARD WITH ERNEST KANJO this Sunday. The show starts at 11am EST (5pm in Germany).

MADE IN AFRICA
News / Latest / ??Ernest Kanjo??

thidWhen Africa hosted its maiden World Cup in South Africa in 2010, Shakira's "Waka Waka" shined as the tournament's theme song. "Waka Waka", from a keen observer point of view, was one of the best World Cup hits in the history of the tournament. The track's original version was sung by Les Zangalewa in 1986, a music band extraction from the Cameroonian military. Understandably so, that the world music star could only pick an African song to package the anthem for South Africa 2010, Shakira's choice turned out to be a success. The world loved and still adore the song. Upscore for Africa!

To prove "Waka Waka" wasn't mere luck, Africa has shined doubly in these competitive times where technology reigns supreme in a world that has been reduced to a village. In 2018, Master KG's "Jerusalem" landed on the world's music/dance taste bud and began making sense. Then, like strong currents on the Atlantic Ocean, it swept across the world like nothing ever did. India, like China and Japan, danced "Jerusalem" like that was the last dance in the world. America, France, Brazil, just like Argentina and Spain, drowned themselves in the stupor of Master KG's masterpiece. The world shook.

Hardly had dust settled on "Jerusalem" than another bulldozer came calling - "Love Nwatiti". Like "Jerusalem", "Love Nwantiti" by Nigerian Ckay, occupied the first spot on the TikTok soundtrack leadership table for a considerable amount of time, infecting dancers from all divides of the world. Arguably, "Love Nwantiti" has been one of the most celebrated tracks on the popular social media platform since its creation.

As though African has vowed to stay on top, Jay Hover's (Ghanaian) "One Leg" dance and Kizz Daniel's "Buga" ft Tekno, (Nigerians) have come to seal the deal. They have not only attracted enormous attention, but have colonized the TikTok and Reels spaces. "One Leg" for instance, has sunk so deep and gradually turning into a religion on the social media space.

Meanwhile, the "Buga" opium has caught up with leaders who participate in its flurry like it was some political obligation. George Weah of Liberia is an example. Just three hours into the Wednesday, June the 22nd release the track's video counted more than 500 thousand views. As we write, views are loading up geometrically.

From all indications, it is Africa's time to shine and the continent is indeed shinning. Let the music play on - let the legs move!

Apex Snapshot: SHOW OPENER BLACK IMMIGRANTS & AMERICA
News / Latest / ??TTS??

SHOW OPENER

According to the Migration Policy Institute, MPI, there are 2.1 million sub-saharan African immigrants in the United States of America. They constitute 5 per cent of the total population of immigrations in the country. Of course, there are 44.9 million immigrants in all. The number of Black immigrants continues to grow from lips and bounds and in the years to come, the numbers will be very significant.

Let us Black immigrants in the United States to Africans and say that this population, as relatively small as it could be, is socially and economically important to the host country. These people are a great contribution to America’s workforce, fielding in from blue collar to white collar jobs. African immigrants have continuously ground in business over the years and are being lined up are important economic operators in their various cities and States across the country.

Speaking at the New Americans Awards in Columbus in July 2019, the Mayor of Columbus, Andrew Ginther acknowledged the great role immigrants were playing and are still doing so in the economic growth of his city. Ginther is definitely not the only public and policy official who has made this acknowledgment – scores of others would have done so. This is positive and may create the impression that all is rosy.

However, as every good thing has a little dark cloud blowing around it, immigrants have their own challenges that look them straight in the face.

The question would be how green is the pasture which they all came to seek? Well, how green the pasture is, can only be determined by the adventurer. The truth is that immigrants from African countries, plus those from places such as Haiti, the Caribbean Island, Jamaica, and other places where Blacks live, must hustle hard and harder to make it in America. Even at that, making it is relative. You may be successful in career and pulling the dollars, yet, faced by challenges that weigh you down like nothing ever did. Just the fact that in certain places, words and actions brutally remind you of where you’re coming from, is ground-breeding for stress and why not depression. In his new book, ALIEN AT HOME, Antoine Gnintedem exploits this topic and possibly charts a way forward. The USA-based Cameroonian author who doubles as an educator brings his book, his perspective on Black immigrants and his solutions on radio this Friday, June 17, 2022. The author of DOOM, GLOOM AND THE PERSUIT OF THE SUN (his previous book), is guest on APEX SNAPSHOT (Literature version). Antoine will be throwing more light on the book and inviting us to procure our copies, now available on Amazon.

APEX MOVIE_HALL_-_June_2022
Before spotting as Best Actress at the 2022 edition of the Cameroon International Film Festival (CAMIFF) in April this year, Ndamo Damarise had had other recognitions, based on her spectacular performance in movies. The actress’ selfless nature would have motivated her to prepare younger aspiring ones for future good work and why not recognitions. She would later give back by passing on knowledge and skills to a maiden group at a two-week online acting masterclass which just rounded off. Accompanied by some participants/beneficiaries of the workshop, she explains how the session went, plus her expectations from this initiative. They will be guests on APEX MOVIE HALL this Friday, June 3, 2022, beginning at 8am EST (1pm gmt+1).

As a whole piece, the seventh art is an interesting form of art and known to be one of the strongest and very impactful. Specifically, and for some reason, acting is the most conspicuous area in the art. It would be said without any fear of contradiction that acting makes the seventh art what is has been since creation. It is thanks to acting that the seventh art is one of the most sought-after disciplines. Many film lovers first get moved by movies because of the FACES – the actors.

The actors carry some strength that is unimaginable. Movie actors have inspired people more than any other kind of artist, there is little doubt about that. Some because their gestural prowess – others because they articulate excellently – some because their costumes are always attractive and others because they are telegenic.

All of these put together, make actors the people running the show in the seventh art. Now, actors to stay relevant, acting must be improved upon, if not perfected. This definitely would be the thought in the mind of every experienced movie actor and acting coach.

As scores of young people aspire to becomes actors, what can be done to make the practice more and more attractive? That is the question renowned actress Ndamo Damarise has been asking herself. The award-winning actress has an answer to the question – adding her voice to other acting coaches to pass on knowledge and skills to others.

On the heels of her recognition as Best Actress at the 2022 edition of the Cameroon International Film Festival CAMIFF, she organized a two-week online acting masterclass during which she shared knowledge to some young people. The masterclass just ended is said to have been successful and, accompanied by some participants, Ndamo Damarise comes on radio to talk about it. She and the trainees are guest on this fresh edition of Apex Movie Hall.
