MUSIC SPOTLIGHT, THE LEGACY OF THE BHUNDU BOYS FROM ZIMBABWE

The Bhundu Boys are a Zimbabwean band that played a mixture of chimurenga music with American rock and roll, disco and pop influences. Their style became known as jit, and is quite popular across Africa, with some international success.

Bhundu was the name given to the young boys who used to aid resistance fighters in the 1970s war against the white minority government. Lead singer Biggie Tembo was a Bhundu boy.

The Bhundu Boys reached the top of the Zimbabwean music scene, with four number one hits (“Baba Munini Francis”, “Wenhamo Haaneti”, “Hastisitose”, and “Ndimboze”) between 1981 and 1984. They attracted the attention of Owen Elias and his colleague Gordon Muir, a Scottish concert promoter , musician Champion Doug Veitch, who released an EP by the band in the UK in 1985. This attracted the attention of DJ’s John Peel and Andy Kershaw who tirelessly promoted the band. Their album Shabini was released in 1986 and was one of the major independent sellers of the year, and one of Peel’s all time favourite albums.

After touring the UK for a year, the band appeared to be on the brink of a major commercial breakthrough. They were feted by Eric Clapton and Elvis Costello and Madonna asked them to be her support act at Wembley Stadium where they played to 240,000 people over three nights.

The Bhundu Boys signed to Warner Brothers International, but 1987’s Robin Millar produced True Jit was unfavourably received and the band began to fall apart. Leader Biggie Tembo was asked to leave the band in 1990. The band continued in the 1990s but David Mankaba, his replacement Shepherd Munyama, and Shakespeare Kangwena, all died of AIDS. Biggie Tembo hanged himself in 1995 after a spell in psychiatric hospital.

He had his diploma in mechanical engineering and diploma in music and sight reading. Embarked on his career in the year 2009, shortly after his graduation. In 2010 he started his community youth engagement program and online mentorship initiatives

In 2012 he became the first African youth role model with an outstanding achievement award from Africa4u awards UK. In 2014 he started working with some international bodies that are into youth empowerments in Africa and got another outstanding achievement award which introduced him to start working with AFRICA4U , an organization that is into male and female black people around the world

Gain speed was initially known as Creative Empowerment Foundation which started operating on Facebook as a fan page in the same year 2014.

In 2015 Creative Empowerment foundation was changed to GAIN SPEED and started operating offline in different states and countries .

In 2016, Mr IfeanyiChukwu was invited to Maryland USA for an award for his youth engagement in Nigeria from DeeDee Entertainment Humanitarian award USA, same year Mr IfeanyiChukwu decided to train and raise mentees so they can partner with him in youth empowerment, after a short period of time he set up Gain Speed Coordinators in different states in Nigeria and across the globe to enable the organization reach out to other young people in different countries with the help of Humble Blessing Foundation.

Mr IfeanyiChukwu recently became a partner and radio host with some international media to talk about Youth initiatives in Nigeria and Africa, about Gain speed, how it all started and about his local and international awards.

Within the space of three years Gain speed has given birth to so many organizations and has mentored many  people around the world.

Gain speed has come to stay and will continue to impact and change Lives for good. We plead for your maximum support and encouragement to keep the dream alive. what matters is the lives we have impacted while we are still living and ability to make Nigeria and Africa a better place for our children, to the ongoing and upcoming generation.

Its also important to note that Gain speed is a platform where people with different views can relate or share their ideas.

Change starts local. Even global changes start small. With people like us in our generation, the struggle of whether we connect more, whether we achieve our biggest opportunities, comes down to this , your ability to build communities and create a world where every single person has a sense of purpose. But its not enough to have purpose yourself, you have to create a sense of purpose for others.

 

Long live Gospel Defenders Ministry, long live Gain speed, Long live Zlass company limited, long live Revive African leadership Foundation, long live Gathering of Mentors, Long live Benin City

Long live Nigeria and Long live Africa. God bless everyone. Thanks

 

PETWISE

INTRODUCING FOCUS ORGANIZATION – ONE OF OUR MEDIA PARTNERS FOR OUR BLACK HISTORY EVENT AT PARLIAMENT

INTRODUCING FOCUS ORGANIZATION – ONE OF OUR MEDIA PARTNERS FOR OUR BLACK HISTORY EVENT AT PARLIAMENT

Born out of a passion for Africa, sound, music, culture and tradition, Focus Organization was founded by Kouassi Atta (Cote d’Ivoire) in 2010. His aim was simple, to bring good music to the masses – music with soul, power, difference, honesty and heritage.

It wasn’t long before Atta’s focused energy took him to every corner of London, searching high and low for venues, partners and willing individuals to help host his ambitious music events.

Mingling among artists, afropolitans and music enthusiasts, Atta soon found himself at Passing Clouds, celebrating one of his very first events with the hypnotic rhythms of theSoukous kings, Kasai Masai. It was here that Atta met Victoria Blackshaw, a young gig-goer ready to take on all things focused. Together, they embarked on a journey of no return, working with incredible artists, learning about new genres and dance moves, and connecting with scores of other great promoters around town. Severa Adou, fellow Ivorian and budding musician, moved to London from Paris soon after and joined the Focus team, helping organise gigs all over the capital.

Launching in East London (Cargo, Passing Clouds, Favela Chic, Open the Gate), Focus moved across to West London (Mau Mau, Notting Hill Arts Club), popped down to South London for a while (CLF Art Café, Mango Landin’), ran a night in central (MoMo’s) and finally moved back East to host a couple of a residencies (Rich Mix, Charlie Wrights, Bedroom Bar).

Focus grew, spreading its roots in the London music scene and earning the respect and partnership of organisations like Joyful Noise (London African Music Festival), Wormfood, AGMP, Target Live, Continental Drifts, 2 For The Road.
