Ignorence or Attitude?

welcome to my blog ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls!!

Mixing it up is a blog that is designed to expose the entertainment industry of Zimbabwe as it combines both the music industry as well as the film industry. It is a blog that also talks about anything that is entertaining and interesting to the people. Mixing it up is a blog that seeks to encourage people to support local music and film as well as local artists. Together and united we can raise our Zimbabwe entertainment industry flag up high.

So this is how it came about, I was checking out music on Youtube I noticed that I was busy looking for artists from the U.S, south Africa and Nigeria., the likes of lil wayne,nicki minaj, wizkid, oskido and company. I asked myself why am I not looking for local artists from Zimbabwe and I found out that all this while I wasn’t interested in local music this explains why I only knew a few that artists from my country , the likes of Rocqui, Maskiri, EXQ, Stunner, Jah praiser and Winky dee  because they were and still are the most popular artists, but I wasn’t really enjoying their music. It was when I started hunting for our local artists about who they are and which music they are producing as well as the other upcoming. What I have noticed is that I am not the only one who is not aware of our local artist but we are just too many out there. 

It is so shocking to hear other people say they don’t like local music because they say it is boring. Some people have an attitude towards local production and I have noticed that this attitude is also arising from tribal issues. There are only a few Ndebele people who support Shona artists which is also the same thing with Shona people who are also few in supporting Ndebele artists.  Why are we not supporting our local artists but keep on supporting people who are not even raising our music industry flag up high? Why are we not supporting our music regardless of our tribes just like south Africa for example, people there seem to be in love with their music and they support it  which is why their artists are making it big and some of the are being recognized internationally like the Jazz singer Lira. Zimbabwe has potential artists like “Shinsoman” who sang the song “mawayawaya”, “Winky dee” who sang “biggy man” which seems to be so popular amongst Zimbabweans. I even enjoyed the songs and the videos itself and I think as Zimbabweans we should bring that vibe back here in our country and support our musicians before we support other artists from other countries. so lets all go and like this pagehttps://www.facebook.com/StuNNerZJeremy
