Rihanna afunguka kwenye jarida la Rolling Stone sababu za kumpa Chris Brown ‘second chance’

Rihanna amefunguka mengi kuhusu uhusiano wake na Chris Brown na kuweka wazi kwanini aliamua kumpa second chance.

“Niliamua ilikuwa muhimu zaidi kwa mimi kuwa na furaha, “ aliliambia jarida lijalo la Rolling Stone. “Sikutaka kuacha mtazamo wa mtu yeyote hata kama ni kosa, ni kosa.”

Katika toleo hilo litakalotoka kesho, Rihanna ameelezea vitu vilivyobadilika kati yao.

“Unatuona tukitembea sehemu, tukiendesha sehemu, tukiwa studio, tukiwa club, na unadhani unajua. Lakini ni tofauti sasa. Hatuna majibizano kama ya zamani tena. Tunaongea kuhusu mambo. Tunathaminiana. Tunajua fika tunachokataka sasa na hatutaki tukipoteze.”

Picha: Uchukuaji video ya wimbo mpya wa MwanaFA ft. Kilimanjaro Band & Mandojo na Domokaya

Uchukuaji picha wa video ya wimbo mpya wa rapper Hamis Mwinjuma aka MwanaFA aliyoishirikisha bendi kongwe ya Kilimanjaro Band aka wananjenje na Mandojo na Domokaya umeanza rasmi leo jijini Dar es Salaam chini ya director Karabani.

“Karabani anaishoot hii video lakini inapelekwa South Africa kama ilivyoripotiwa na watu wa God Father ndio wanaedit hii video na sababu yangu ilikuwa ni kwamba ningekuwa nimefanya peke yangu ningeenda kuifanya South Africa lakini una band, una watu sita, saba una Mandojo na Domo Kaya watu tisa na mimi ni wa kumi, wimbo mmoja ungenitia umaskini hapo hapo, yaani naweza kufanya lakini ningeumwa mpaka mwezi wa sita,” amesema MwanaFA. “Kwa gharama zilivyo tukaona hakuna sababu jamaa wanasema mara nyingi hata sisi tunapata picha nzuri tatizo linakuja kwenye editing. Vitu hivi pia vina politics, watu wanatumia connections walizonazo, Godfather akifanya una uhakika wa kwenda Trace, una uhakika wa kwenda MTV Base una uhakika wa kwenda Channel O kama kawa yaani.”

Akizungumzia sababu za kuichagua band ya Kilimanjaro FA amesema, “ Unajua suala ni kwamba unatafuta angle tofauti, sijakaa kwenye muziki kwa miaka 12 for no good reason yaani kulikuwa na sababu ya mimi kubaki na kwasababu natafuta angle mpya kila siku ya kutokea. Sijawahi kujisikia vizuri kuperform nyimbo yangu kama nilivyojisikia wakati naperform na Njenje kwahiyo nikaona hawa ndio band ambayo nataka kuitumia Plus Njenje ina miaka 42 inafanya muziki kwahiyo kama unataka kutengeneza picha ya ulegendary lazima kila kitu kiwe na picha hiyo, siwezi kuchukua bendi za watoto wadogo wakati bendi ya malegendary ipo.”

Aidha MwanaFA amesema anashow inakuja hivi karibuni aliyoipa jina la The Finest na atakayoshirikiana na bendi hiyo pamoja na wasanii aliowahi kuwashirikisha kwenye nyimbo zake. “The Finest iliripotiwa kama wimbo lakini The Finest actually ni show sio wimbo. Ni show ya mara moja, hatutaki kuifanya sana itakuwa ni kitu kinachozoeleka, sio ya watu wengi ni show wanayohudhuria watu kama 500, corporate show. Tunachojaribu ni kuuvusha muziki, unajua aina ya muziki tunaoufanya mara nyingi unaonekana ni muziki wa watu fulani.

Kilichobaki ni kwamba huu muziki unahitaji hela na unahitaji hela kutoka kwenye corporations na sio hata mauzo ya muziki. Corporations zinatakiwa ziweke hela kwenye muziki na namna ambayo tunatakiwa kuzishawishi kufanya hivyo ni kwa kuwaonesha kwamba muziki wetu una nguvu kiasi gani, muziki wetu ni mzuri kiasi gani na ndio hiyo idea ya The Finest ilipokuja.”

Hizi ni baadhi ya picha za uchukuaji wa video hiyo.

Waziri (Njenje): Muziki wa Tanzania umekua kibiashara lakini unakufa kitaaluma

Muimbaji mkongwe wa Kilimanjaro Band aka Wana Njenje Waziri Ally amesema muziki wa Tanzania umekua sana kibiashara lakini unaendelea kufa kitaaluma.

Akiongea na Bongo5, Mzee Waziri ambaye ni kiongozi wa bendi hiyo kongwe nchini Tanzania amesema kwa sasa muziki unafanyiwa promotion sana na hivyo kuufanya uuzike. “People are making money sasa hivi sio kama sisi tulivyoanza muziki wakati huo,” alisema. “Na ndio maana sasa unaona mfumko wa wanamuziki wapya ni wengi sana kila mmoja anajua akitoa wimbo mpya atapata hela yake atanunua gari, atanununua nyumba nk. Kwahiyo kibiashara unakua lakini sio kitaaluma, taaluma ya muziki inakufa. Kwasababu kila miaka inavyozidi kwenye wanamuziki wanapungua, nikisema wanamuziki naamanisha wale wanaojua taaluma ya muziki, either amekwenda shule kusoma muziki au anapiga tu muziki bila kusoma ama kwa kipaji lakini anapiga muziki kiusahihi.”:

Waziri amesema wanamuziki wa sasa wanapenda njia za mkato kutoka hali inayochangia kwa kiasi kikubwa taaluma ya muziki kushuka ama kufa na kuongeza kuwa Tanzania kwa sasa imeachwa nyuma na nchi zingine za Afrika Mashariki hususan Uganda.

“Music imehamia Uganda, ukisikiliza production za Uganda utasikia kuna watu wametuliza akili zao wamefanya arrangement na kuna music ndani yake, ukisikia uimbaji wa Uganda wanaimba, unajua kabisa hapa kuna waimbaji.”

THE BIG DAD imepata taarifa rasmi kutoka kwa mwenyekiti wa chama cha waigizaji taifa Michael Sangu aliyesema, “Msanii mwenzetu Matumaini anaumwa sana na bado mpaka sasa yupo Msumbiji na kitu ambacho kinamsumbua zaidi ni kuvimba tumbo na miguu na akiwa hana uwezo wa kujitibia wala nauli ya kuweza kurudi nchini”.

Taarifa za awali zinasema kuwa Matumaini aliingia nchini Msumbiji katika ziara ya kisanii akiwa huko alimpata jamaa akaamua kufanya maisha yake huko. Wenzake aliosafiri nao kwenda nchini humo Tanzania na yeye kuanza maisha mapya.
