Best sounds from the East !!

In 2010, Sierra Leone producer and
director Jimmy Bangura had this to say
about the Sierra Leonean movie
industry: “In few years, people won’t be
talking about Hollywood, Bollywood or
Nollywood. People will be talking about Sollywood in Sierra Leone”. The experienced film maker has
successfully produced and directed a few
movies that have been screened on
Africa’s popular television stations like
DSTV and MNET. His films have also been
screened on Sky Television. He was also at one time reported to have lured A-List
Nollywood actor Ramsey Nouah to
partake in a Sollywood movie. He has
also reached out to other African
countries’ film stars to help grow
Sollywood, casting them in roles in his films.
Also for a long while now, there have
been questions raised about why the
South African film industry has not join
the big movie-making business with
their own South African stories and movie industry. But finally in the same year 2010, Actor
and Director Tiro Venter and producer)
Inda Khumalo, decided to take on the
challenge. They succeeded in making a
huge budget movie. To avoid piracy, the
movie was available exclusively at www.sollywood.co.za, Hence the
creation and registration of South
Africa’s Sollywood.
Since then not much has been heard of
both film industries, and non has been
able to meet or measure up to the standards of Nigeria's Nollywood nor
Ghana’s Ghollywood. But the question
remains which of these is recognized as
the legitimate Sollywood
internationally? Jimmy Bangura, Sierra Leonean Producer Tiro Venter, South African Producer. Source - Celebrity Buzz.

speedyboi: Yes i am









at SPECTATORS' section

Ok oo....

vanstanzy: This is arrant madness! What insanity!

My broda i weak oo!! Lmaoooo!!!

speedyboi: @Op, why should it be moved to frontpage? . So you can get more people to start bashing them too abi? Don't you guys get tired of bashing?

Yea...I can guess your reply, but I can differentiate between a person who is really concerned and a person who just wants to badmouth

Aahh ahh nah, my broda nawa for u oo. Am not bashing them oo, am just shocked. Why would i bash dem? I love my African countries soo much oo. I just posted dis thread for fun, no bashing or personal issue. Speedyboi, for a moment i tot u are the moderator sef....

VillageBoi: Why e go surprise you? Ever since Oyinbo people drop mirror & church for our shores we can't get enough of copying EVERY single thing they do - All apart from any good & sensible ones.
Go ya Fillage sef, I can bet not ONE sigle big man house get bed made by a local carpenter - all na Dubai & Italy. No be only we Nigerians dey very stupid... other Africans follow too hahahaha.

Abi oo

I was shocked the day i came across these ''Woods'' that exists in Africa!!! Lmaoo!! I mean, i taught we have only Nollywood in Africa, i know of Ghollywood from Ghana too. But u cant imagine my shock when i discovered dat Sierra Leone calls their movie industry ''Sollywood'', Cameroon calls their own ''Collywood'', Tanzania calls theirs ''Tollywood'', Malawi ''Mollywood'' & Kenya ''Riverwood''. Wahala dey oo. It was not even Nigerians dat named our movie industry ''Nollywood''. It was named by some Americans doing a research on the Nigerian Movie Industry back in the day. They said dat it is the African version of Hollywood & they started calling it ''Nollywood'' and that was how the name stuck. So Nairalanders, what do u guys think of the names of these African Movie Industries? .... Over to una... Plz Moderators, frontpage!!!

Well..... Since the Federal Govt has refused to build a Nollywood Film City in Enugu or Lagos, then the Nollywood dat we see is located in 3 different parts of Nigeria.... 1)51 Iweka Road, Onitsha. Dat place is the peak of Nollywood in Nigeria, talking about marketing & distribution of movies. 2)1/3 Pound Road Aba & 3)Ebinpejo Lane, Idumota Lagos. So anytime u travel out of Nigeria and people ask u where Nollywood is located in Nigeria, just tell dem any of these places in Onitsha, Aba & Lagos cos they are d hubs for movie marketing in Nigeria!! Maybe soon, d govt will build a standard Nollywood Film City in Enugu or Lagos just like they have in Mumbai India.

Dis is one of d best Hiphop joints i have heard in Africa!!!! Yes i said it!! D-Black & Waje are on a crayyy mode!!! Dis is a beautiful blend of Hiphop soul & the video is gooooood. D-Black killed his verses and Waje killed d chorus... What an awesome voice Waje has!!! I love dat chic... For those that dont know, D-Black is a top-flight Ghanaian Rapper & he's one of my best rappers from there. Download the mp3 & watch the video here http://www.notjustok.com/2013/06/28/video-d-black-ft-waje-black-clouds/

D'banj dey make me laff sha.... Kai! N2,000 gini? For which album? Go and ask Styl Plus what happened to dem in 2006 with their Imagine Dat album. They put the price at N500 then, but due to d fact dat d album was HOT & in hot demand, Alaba boiz had to pirate it shaparly cos guys no wan pay N500 to buy d album. Before u know it, d pirated copies of d Imagine Dat album were selling like pure water everywhere in Naija for N100!! Styl plus dem were even surprised!! U no trust Alaba people? Now D'banj wants to sell a N2,000 album in Nigeria dat guys are not even ready to buy at N100 sef.... Kpata Kpata, na for only all those highbrow malls for V.I, Abuja, PH & Enugu u go see am. Which am sure most people wont buy.

Spanking New Jam..... Stormrex is on her way to Super Stardom!!! Started from Enugu, now she's getting there.... Just like Flavour Nabania!!!!

Stormrex the Enugu First Lady in Music is back with the remix to her Hit single Kerenke. But dis time she featured the Ebgeripapa 1 of Bayelsa!! Just imagine what Stormrex & Timaya can do a korrect beat. I like the way they changed the beat but still retains the sweetness of d original song. Dis is how a remix should be done. Download - http://www.notjustok.com/2013/06/27/storm-rex-ft-timaya-kerenke-remix/

Dubemkelly: 'Do me' was tight tho Kukere rocked arnd d globe,wit d twist of etighi dance n swag...Am settlin 4 'All ma ladies.....' was on point lik full stop.

Ok.

I have ''finally'' & his other songs, so i wont download dis one till i hear it on Radio Lagos Tiwan Tiwan (joking). from the beginning am not a fan of all the Mohits artistes except Wande Coal. And i started liking his songs cos of Ololufe. But people should know dat Dbanj is not a singer nor rapper, so u guys shouldnt expect more frm him.

4 Davido

5 Iyanya

6 Flavour Nabania

Like I said, this rating is unbiased. However, I understand that individual choices is different but don't bring in tribalism or personal favoritism to this thread. Base your judgment on quality works of the artistes because some upcoming artistes out there might come across this thread and it may give them hint on who they should look up to.

OP are u for real? 2face for number 9 & D'banj number 1? Hmmmm, my list is 1)2Face. 2)Asa. 3)P Square. 4)D'banj. 5)Wizkid. 6)Flavour Nabania. 6)Davido & the list goes on.....

omar22: Kukere is heard WORLDWIDE!!!

Ok, noted.

Uyi Iredia: 'Do Me' kills and buries 'Kukere' visually and audio-wise.

Ok noted. Datz a good one.

Ok Nairalanders, make we yarn. P Square's Do Me or Iyanya's Kukere, which of these 2 songs was a bigger Hit both in Nigeria & across Africa.. Keep yo views coming...

Are these guys P Square's competition? I see similarities between them and i also see TALENT !!!

Dis girl's voice serenades my soul.... Good music breaks boundaries.... Ugandan Urban music right here...

Dis song is still rocking radio stations and the clubs.... Wrecking damages on the dancefloor!! Nani Boi on the verses, Stormrex on the chorus & Dekumzy murdered the beat!!

Still feeling dis Nwakezi song!!!! Talent no dey hide himself.....

mikeapollo: Go and watch the Kukere video again.....most of the dance steps in the video(apart from Iyanya's video crew members) were Ghanaians(including the small boy) dancing Azonto which Iyanya copied/downloaded directly from Youtube.

The Coupe de Cale dance is different.!

#SMH for you... E be like say dem really swear for you with dis Azonto tin. How Azonto take com enta dis thread again oo,hmmm see gobe oo. Plz Sir i know u love ur country Ghana so much, but can u please take ur contribution to GhanaWeb cos dis is Nairaland. Or better still, if it will make u sleep better dis nite, yes Iyanya's Kukere is copied from Azonto infact the whole Nigerian music is copied from Azonto.. Kele Kele love, aboki, bad guy p, olamide's voice of the street, banky w's yes/no are all copied from Azonto!! Lmao!! Shey dis go make u feel better? @Abagworo my broda plz dont waste ur time replying dis boy. If u go all thru his posts, its always about dis Azonto thing, abt who copied who. Dont bother with him.

Put on your dancing shoes & dance away your sorrows!!! Dis song is doing damages in the Clubs.... Dis is a very catchy Naija pop song or Afro Beat as Oyinbo dem go call am. K-Deep is an Enugu artiste & he featured the best of Enugu musicians in dis massive remix to his Odogwu song. The artistes featured are Selebobo, Veecko Kyngz, Iloks Shady, Effect MC & Peace Maker. All of dem killed dis very catchy party track!!! Download http://mizsunshine.com/2013/06/13/music-k-deep-ft-coall-city-allstars-odogwu-remix/

mikeapollo: The beat underneath the song is clearly AZONTO beat....which is basically a fast-tempo Highlife with funkified rhythms. The so called 'Kukere beat' itself is was adapted from Azonto....Iyanya used a lot of Azonto stuff ( e.g the beat, dance, online youtube video clips etc) in his Kukere song and video.

I just hope our Nigerian musicians will also create an indigenous style and promote it globally instead of just copying and repeating the Azonto beats/dance in all their songs.

And how did Azonto come enter dis discussion? Dis boy u really need help, na real wa for you oo. We are talking PERSONALLY, u are talking Azonto. Abeg no derail dis thread if u no get anything to say.

I cant help laughing at the comments... Lol Well different strokes for different folks... The song is good, it will definitely grow on many people but the video is da bomb!! Big ups to P Square & all the top artistes reppin Naija...

See as Viviane dey flow from English to French in dis song so flawlessly.... Her voice dey kill me oo...
