I keep seeing a lot of girl groups with really watery music and to make it worse trying to be sexy unsuccessfully in the videos which is very un-african. Our music is full of flavour and our dancing is sensual while maintaining respectability. Sending you an email to hear about the project :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999975598314428644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659757082629783950.post-14192073945451611372011-06-14T14:35:10.610+02:002011-06-14T14:35:10.610+02:00I just love FreshlyGround and Marsha!
It was grea...I just love FreshlyGround and Marsha!<br /><br />It was great to see Waje as well, i've always wondered why there is such disparity in the numbers of male and female artists in much of Africa (not respectable!?)<br /><br />Off topic. I wanted to get in touch with you regarding a project i'm doing.

This is definitely a respite from the Sean Paul Dacehall days of the early part of the last decade. I love the Mr. Vegas' song and video. Nothing touches a parent than to see their child emulating their negative behavior. Also check out other artists such as Morgan Heritage, Queen Ifrica, Itana, Duane Stephenson, Tarrus Riley to start :). For many people across Caribbean, music still has political and social clout. Especially since their is a genre--calypso (mostly in the eastern Caribbean)--for that. For every good sexually charged Soca rhythm, there is another great social commentary from a Calypso musician.
