AfroSoul singer, poet and guitarist Zahara burst onto the South African music scene in 2011, winning scores of accolades and awards for her soulful style and powerful vocals that evoke comparisons with Miriam Makeba, Brenda Fassie, Tracy Chapman and Asa.  Zahara’s debut album "Loliwe" was released in 2011 with the first issue famously selling out within 72 hours; just nineteen days later the album reached double platinum status in South Africa. Performing in Isixhosa and English, Zahara’s repertoire features spiritually uplifting ballads balanced beautifully by her own acoustic guitar playing.

A seamless blend of Kenyan infused hip hop and R&B is the signature sound of Nairobi based Camp Mulla.  The award-winning crew, comprising rapper Taio Tripper, K’Cous(producer) and hype man, Mykie Toni, combine hard hitting jams with funky grooves and velvety smooth vocals. The group’s 2012 album “Funky Town” and hit singles “Party Don’t Stop” and “Fresh All Day” showcase theirhighly individual musical style, which they have dubbed the “2-5-Flow” or “254Low” (pronounced “two five flow”), a play on Kenya’s international dialing code.

Zahara and Camp Mulla join Snoop Lion (@SnoopLion), D’Banj (@iamdbanj), Big Nuz (@BigNuz_Afro), Fally Ipupa (@fallyipupa), Professor (@professorkalawa), 2Face (@2faceidibia), Flavour (@2niteFlavour) and Zakes Bantwini (@ZakesBantwiniSA) on the bill for the all star concert, being staged jointly by MTV Base and KwaZulu-Natal Province.

My Level Has Changed. Ace comic actor, Hafiz Oyetoro spoke with GBENRO ADESINA about the challenges he faced before his breakthrough. How far have you gone with your Ph.D programme at the University of Ibadan (UI)? I am still on it. This is my second year. I am currently doing some field work. I hope to round off the field work by the end of this year. Afterwards, I will start writing. How are you combining it with your tight schedule? Everybody knows what he wants in life. You have to create time to do all the things you want to do and that is why everyone must be good in managing his or her time. Definitely, scale of preference will come in. No one has time to combine many necessary and important things but one has to create time to achieve one’s dream. You did an advert for Etisalat and all of a sudden, you switched over to MTN.
