well, i've been meaning to blog about two recent discoveries that I have been all over as of recent. I couldn't choose between the two, so i decided to post both here.
Celebrating Ndi-Igbo: Acclaiming People of Igbo Descent
I am so on this blog...literally a daily post on big things members of the Igbo Diaspora have accomplished both past and present. Kudos to Ababoy for this initiative.
K'Naan
This guy has been in my head for the longest ever since I picked up his 2009 CD, Troubadour. I thought this CD was incredible, with tracks like Wavin' Flag and Take a Minute, until I checked out his earlier CD, The Dusty Foot Philosopher - a more reflective, somber version of K'Naan.
Excited about Mogadishu and Ndi Igbo.....but as for what I am not excited about....
my zune which decided to die on me like a month after i got it....i guess it's back to Apple (i tried, Bill Gates, i tried....)

I've known about Knaan for a couple years. It is exciting to see an African artist shine internationally. Good luck to him.
Will check out Ndi Igbo and actually should let Sugabelly know about it as well...

hi I have a zune and the same thing sort of happened to me. It's not dead yet, try getting a different charger, I now have a wall charger. I got a set - wall charger, car charger and the usb cable for like 7.99 from amazon.
Don't give up on the zune just yet!
