I have been a lazy blogger for many years. Especially after posting 233 blog posts in 2013. After my mum transitioned on on June 6, 2022, I told myself I needed to write a book. I'd get back to the book bit later. I promised to write lots of blog posts in 2023 too. It has not gone too well until now.
I (feel I) have a special relationship with music. It is what led me to Museke. As 2023 ends and I hit 40 years of age, I would like to share some of my all-time favorite music. I was going to do one blog post about some all-time favorite songs and how they impact me. I realised the number of songs were increasing as I thought about them. I also realized some of the same musicians were making these songs, and their songs have special places in my heart, head and body, etc for different reasons.
So I present to you the starting eleven of artistes who make music I dey feel waa.
In order of when they started making impact on me.
The years might not be 100% correct, but circa those times.
Obrafour: From 1999
Kojo Antwi: From the 20th Century
Beyonce: From 2001
Kirk Franklin: From 2005
Kaysha: From 2004
R2Bees: From 2011

Lira: From 2009
Perola: From 2017

Actually, scratch that the idea of just the starting eleven. We are having a tournament squad of 23 musicians.
The next set of 12 - bench - is loading.
From this shortlist - Wutah, Bruna, Sarkodie, Ne-yo, Samini, Akwaboah, Alikiba, Fireboy DML, Soweto Gospel Choir, Okyeame Kwame, Viviane Ndour, Ralph Anselmo/Suzanna Lubrano/Black Coffee, etc
Ima keep some of these songs in this playlist for me, and you, and others :-)
