M

id way through the show she asked the audience, “Do you know why I’m here?” Her riposte was music, with a knowing smile on her face. “Everything I do in life, everywhere I go and whatever decisions I make are based on music.” The sentiments of the artiste tallied with those of the owner of the venue Ben Thurairatnam who cited that his mission on behalf of his establishment was, “delivering good entertainment for music aficionados in Zambia.” On 21^st November 2015, The Web delivered a world class Sold Out show. Ladies and gentleman the World Famous soul singer/songwriter sensation… Joss Stone @JossStone

The 550 strong capacity crowd of soul and blues enthusiast jam packed The Web. The multi genre hub of live music was chosen as one of the stops by the Grammy award winning performer and soul songstress on her Total World Tour. After 2 – 3 months of organising, the wait was over. Up first on stage to kick off the gig and move the crowd was Wezi @Wezi_heartsound. The Zambian songbird is the voice you’ve been hearing on award winning hooks and verses on the airwaves, in clubs and performing live of stage. Her rendition of Translate by Zone Fam has been the source of much social media buzz and with just cause. That energy and vibe definitely translated into her captivating

performance.  Her act was enchanting and as natural and beautiful as her voice and smile. She has clearly matured as an artist and her rich tone oozed poise and her deportment showed tones of a budding songbird with promise of yet more melodies in her career as a performer. 

She had played Botswana the night before and Zambia was next to receive the gift of soul on her nonstop global excursion which begun in April 2004 of 204 countries. With an illustrious career that has spun over a decade, the headline act’s set is always causes of debate and difficult to predict. Soon as she stepped onto the brightly lit stage to an ovation of shouts, applause and whistling and began to bellow the first notes of Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin’ on Me), I knew my inner musical Jedi was strong. The three man band of a lead/rhythm guitarist, the rubber band man on bass and the drummer from the ATL, did not miss a beat and the two soul sisters on backing vocals in tow did not miss a wail. Her selection showed depth and an elaborate career, a mix of new material from her 2015 rich reggae and dub laden release Water for Your Soul such as Way Oh and This Ain’t Love, and classic substance such as What We Gonna Do Now (which features rapper Common on the album version). Her aura and everything about her entire proceedings was pure synergy and was in synch with the crowd, so much so such that she even had a quick cup in between notes as any Brit would *laughs*. She signed off with Right to Be Wrong

which was the second single from her critically acclaimed sophomore album Mind, Body and Soul. It was a charged performance which left the crowd chanting for more. An honour to host you in Zambia Miss Stone, keep that soul coming. How did I forget to mention how she did justice with her rendition of I Put a Spell on You by the icon Ray Charles, yes the show was special, something magical and spiritual. 

The Music was far from over for the night, the house band was not done with the entertainment and had an ace up there sleeve. Nexus brought the funk the old school way and kept revelers on the dance floor getting their shuffle and two

step on. Their set kicked off with Shalamar’s Night to Remember, and kept it coming with that Luther classic All My Love, the Kool & The Gang anthem Get Down On It, that Lionel hit All Night Long and finally simmered it down with Chaka’s Can’t Nobody. The lead vocalist Nathalie did not relent neither did the

tight neat ensemble on the beat and tempo, carrying on where Miss Stone had left off. And now for an intermission by Jude (the manager of The Web), who blew the situation to another stratosphere when he brought the house down with the Sexual Chocolate classic You Sexy Thing. Indeed the funk knows no bounds, and he too left it all on stage in that single performance. I could have been at the Apollo in Harlem at a performance of funk and soul grooves,

even Joss’s band members who blended into the crowd approved of the heat that was and is Nexus. It was poignant and out of sight.

Yes Jocelyn showed up and silenced the critics and non believers with a stellar sonic musical performance with her ensemble. During her three day visit of Zambia, Joss also collaborated with Zambian musical virtuoso Mumba Yachi on a

song and visited the Lilayi Elephant Nursery

(Orphanage). The Web and its management did a tremendous job of organizing a flawless event without any incident. This blogger on behalf of the freelance movement nation and worldwide thanks you for accommodating the craft of scribes at this occasion and august musical juncture. This gig is testament that Zambia is more than ready for more international acts, and the Web are on the good foot as a shining example as venue which has the state of the art equipment necessary to host world class events. “As The Web,

our aim is to organize a successful gig. It’s good for the Zambian scene as far as music is concerned.” Applause Ben, Joss brought some Stone cold soul and Nexus brought the funk all night long!

E

t il arriva que le dernier samedi d'Octobre, #FashionDayOut sera un

événement annuel tenu en mon honneur que Zambienne (Zed) Mode à Foxdale Cour. Les suspects habituels Angelika Huwiler, Zila MILUPI, Bwayla Ngoma sont restés au-dessus de l'ensemble de la situation assistée par des bénévoles je salue pour aller la distance. Les soldats de l'effort de la mode et coupables venus en grand nombre, et rencontre également de nouvelles connaissances et les fashionistas, "l'amour vraiment moi," je contemplais comme je l'ai versé une larme. Les Millennias de Y @YMagZambia étaient également dans le méli-mélo avec des caméras et de l'énergie de la jeunesse. Je suis animé pour voir l'idée collective de la Fashion

Council Zambie, MAFASHOW et  @Foxdale burgeon et venir vivant avec brio et panache. L'essence de l'événement était le mode, mais la minutie et de la générosité avec laquelle chaque intervenant a été traité a fait la fête à l'africaine dans la nature avec une perspective universelle. Mon existence que la mode est avant tout la célébration de la façon dont la diversité nous sommes en tant que peuple et à travers ces jamborees explorant comment les diverses facultés de la mode peuvent habiliter et bénéficier du collectif et de renforcer le peuple. Fashion Day Out était nécessaire et ce qui manquait dans l'évolution de l'histoire de la Zambie de la mode, chapeaux.

L'accumulation a été épique, les blogueurs ont occupé, Facebook bourdonnait sur toutes les pages et Larry l'oiseau bleu Twitter a été en tweeting overdrive, #FashionDayOut a été une tendance au moment où le calendrier retourné au 31 Octobre. Foxdale Cour dans leur prévoyance fourni une connexion Wi-Fi pour la durée de l'événement août qui a facilité les activités de blogueur bloc et renforcé l'entreprise de médias sociaux. Ah oui la dame responsable de l'œuvre et de faire mon nom Mode et tout l'événement Day Out air si effervescente et pittoresque était l'incroyable Cathy Fundafunda. Son construal visuelle était une fusion qui englobait la quintessence de l'événement avec une palette déchiquetée et la livraison intemporel, ce badass que @CathyFundafunda! Je voyais sa coiffure venteux autour de la pop up bazars à la place. Quand je passe dans la région, Kahyi & Kii aka @MaFashio sont généralement aussi dans les choses voisinage de style lors d'événements et d'activités, ils étaient en plein effet de me faire une apparence spectaculaire comme ils le font Zed mode avec un tourbillon. Le tableau vivant aurait fait Olga Desmond fiers, ils ont ajouté du

piquant à l'elaborateness de la journée, les modèles Bravo. Prix ​​de la meilleure habillé va à la seule personne dans un costume d'Halloween avec les oreilles félines et tous, très original et sexy effet @Nana_Kalenge. Dj Chiti sur les ou

L'atmosphère @Atmosphere_news collective sur la technologie gardé l'audio et visuelle verbatim stable, ni Pompi @ThePompi ni Evans @EMulwe où le micro, Pompi (en correspondant avec brogues Wifey * rit *) était en fait derrière la lentille capture de la Fashion Think Tank Ambiance . Vlogger, la seule vlogger Je sais en Zambie @MissKundwe a également été tapi, attraper le lien à son Vlog à la fin de ce post. Pour aider à moi d'exprimer ce que je ressentais à propos de cette occasion magnanime, je me suis enrôlé l'aide de mon scribe noble @ZambiazHarshTag (Le Parrain du blogging), qui a également collaboré avec des photographes et autres blogueurs.

Les histoires partagées où authentique et vive avec une sincérité déplacement, les questions où d'engagement qui fait le Think Tank une expérience fascinante et passionnante. L'Association Cercle Winners (WCA) @ WCAlive15 est certainement en train de gagner dans leurs activités centrées communautaires et a frappé un home run sérieux avec escale poignante percutant séances intimes. Assez déjà avec le "devenir millionnaire en un instant ou un raccourci cette façon forums,« Je félicite le panneau Angelika Nyobe Andersen (aka Angelika Huwiler), Nayomi Lintini, Megan Bloemker, Amanda Arnfred, Annely Vihmann, Stanley Kaseka,

Il était le 1ne inaugural, la première coupe dans le tissu, et ce un vêtement magnifique qu'ils ont fait en mon honneur que Mode "Zed Zambienne”. Que laissé une marque dans mon cœur était l'interaction et la participation de la communauté au sens large. Le mode Think Tank, où des discussions franches, le dialogue que l'art est accessible et bien que je suis la mode. Je suis trop diverse pour être mis dans une boîte comme les différentes boutiques de la pop jusqu'à la ruche d'activité me illustrés dans toute ma pompe et la splendeur. @OGOJIII Ogojiii est un texte très

important sur la scène Africaine et à moi comme Élan, mais aussi dans l'articulation de l'esthétique interdépendants de ma fratrie et sujets liés à des réalisations visionnaires sur le continent, plus important encore la publication comble le fossé entre talent et risque. Les salles de lecture Ogojiii étaient une initiative son et le mouvement constructif promotion de l'intellect et de développement personnel.

A

nd so it came to pass that on the last Saturday of October,

#FashionDayOut will be an annual event held in my honour as Zambian (Zed) Fashion at Foxdale Court. The usual suspects Angelika Huwiler, Zila Milupi, Bwayla Ngoma stayed on top of the entire situation aided by volunteers I salute for going the distance.  The soldiers of the great fashion effort and culprits turned out in numbers, and also encountered new acquaintances and fashionistas, “the really love me,” I contemplated as I shed a tear. The Millennias of Y @YMagZambia were also in the hodgepodge with cameras and the energy of youth. I was animated to see the collective idea of the Zambia

Fashion Council, MAFASHOW and Foxdale Court @FoxdaleCourt burgeon and come alive with such gusto and panache. The essence of the event was mode, but the meticulousness and generosity with which each stakeholder was treated made the celebration African in nature with a universal perspective. My existence as fashion primarily is the celebration of how diverse we are as a people and through such

jamborees exploring how the various faculties of fashion can empower and benefit the collective and enhance the people. Fashion Day Out was necessary and what was missing in the evolution of Zambian Fashion story, chapeaux.

The buildup was epic, bloggers got busy, Facebook was buzzing on all pages and Larry the Twitter bluebird was in tweeting overdrive, #FashionDayOut was trending by the time the calendar flipped to October 31^st. Foxdale Court in their foresight provided free Wi-Fi for the duration of the august event which facilitated the blogger bloc activities and enhanced the social media enterprise.  Ah yes the lady responsible for the artwork and making my name Fashion and the entire event Day Out look so effervescent and picturesque was the amazing Cathy Fundafunda. Her visual construal was an amalgamation that encompassed the quintessence of the event with a jagged pallet and timeless delivery, what a badass that @CathyFundafunda! I saw her breezy hairdo around the pop up bazaars in the piazza. When I’m happening in the area, Kahyi & Kii aka @MaFashio are usually also in the vicinity styling things up at events and activities, they were in full effect making me look spectacular as they do Zed Fashion with a whirl. The tableau vivant (live mannequins) would have made Olga

Desmond proud, they added pizzazz to the elaborateness of the day, bravo models. Best dressed award goes to the only person in a Halloween costume with the feline ears and all, very original and sexy indeed @Nana_Kalenge. Dj Chiti on the ones and twos spun tunes for the ages and kept the rhythm and vibe alive. The Atmosphere Nation @Atmosphere_news collective on tech kept the audio and visual verbatim steady, neither Pompi @ThePompi nor Evans @EMulwe where on the mic, Pompi (in matching brogues with Wifey *laughs*) was actually behind the lens capturing the Fashion Think Tank Ambiance. Vlogger, the only vlogger I know

in Zambia @MissKundwe was also lurking, catch the link to her Vlog at the end of this post.   To help me express how I felt about this magnanimous

occasion, I enlisted the help of my noble scribe @ZambiazHarshTag (The Godfather of blogging), who also collaborated with photographers and fellow bloggers.

The stories shared where genuine and vivid with a moving sincerity, the questions where engaging which made the Think Tank a riveting and thrilling experience. The Winners Circle Association (WCA) @WCAlive15 is definitely winning in their community centered activities and hit a serious home run with poignant nonstop hard hitting intimate sessions. Enough already with the “become an instant millionaire or shortcut this way forums,” I applaud the panel Angelika Nyobe Andersen (aka Angelika Huwiler), Nayomi Lintini, Megan Bloemker, Amanda Arnfred, Annely Vihmann, Stanley Kaseka, Deborah Chuma, Elizabeth Mwanza, and Betty Bulongo, who told the masses gathered what they needed to hear and know. Standing ovation for the

key note speakers Christina Kabamba and Donna Mshanga, who wore their hearts on their garments and shared the fascinating story of the Kamanga @kamangawear journey and kept it 1hunnit with the “hard work pays” ethos. The official launch of the WCA – Kamanga Wear collaboration Internship Programme was the 10 that sent the Fashion Think Tank out of the park. It all came together at the seams!                   

    

It was the inaugural 1ne, the first cut in the fabric, and what a beautiful garment

they made in my honour as Zambian “Zed” Fashion. What left a mark in my heart was the interaction and involvement of the wider community. The Fashion Think Tank discussions where candid, the dialogue unguarded as art is and indeed as I am fashion. I am too diverse to be put in a box as the various pop up shops the hive of activity illustrated me in all my pomp and splendor. Ogojiii @OGOJIII is a

very important text to the African arena and to me as Élan but also in articulating my sibling’s interrelated aesthetics and subject matter related to visionary accomplishments on the continent, more importantly the publication bridges the abyss between knack and venture. The Ogojiii reading rooms were a sound initiative and constructive motion promoting intellect and personal development. The fete came together beautifully, pure vista and set delightfully like the Zambian savannah sun under the auspices of The Sky Bar at the after party and fashion show. Dj Ken @vjken_zm jockeyed the night away with serious grooves which included Rabs Vhafuwi & Mizz Count Your Blessing #CYB. I will be back again next year after my Zambia Fashion Week @ZambiaFashionWeek party to celebrate my day with fashionistas of all hues at  an even more flamboyant  #FashionDayOut2.
