A week long series in which we uncover some facts about this year's Oscar nominated films that you didn't know.

Fader had the best line about Mulatu Astatke, I hate to say it. It was something along the lines of "Mulatu Astatke seems like the kind of guy who is so cool that when he gets home he changes from the suit he's wearing into another suit." And that's true, no doubt -- look at the cover photo of an impossibly crisp Astatke chilling in front of a ...

Anyone searching for entertainment on a Tuesday night will be amazed to find the bag of surprises GTV has to offer viewers on Tuesdays between 9pm and 10pm.

The tussle to get the most attention in the music reality show competitions seems at the moment to be drifting in the direction of TV3.

The news that hiplife musician Kwaw Kesse also known as ‘King of the Streets’ had a 30-minute meeting with President Bush while he was visiting Ghana has turned out to be false.

The music industry in Ghana for the past two decades has recorded low patronage of musical albums due to the increasing rate of piracy.

If the fiasco that characterised the Inter-Participating Nations Jamboree that followed the Ghana 2008 draw last October had any lessons for the Local Organising Committee, those lessons did not have any effect on the gentlemen whose job it is the activities related to the 20-day football fiesta.

IT is indisputable fact that music is life and it is the food for the soul, for that matter. Music can therefore positively transform a society for progress and development; or on the other hand, it can be used negatively to destroy the moral fibre of a society and ultimately lead that society to degeneration and ruin!

Until the Ghanaian born music star, A-Plus started releasing political songs as another means of focusing attention on problems some politicians are creating in this country, no musician in the country had thought that such songs could be lucrative, gain popularity and educate the populace of their rights.

A-Plus is buoyant, sure-footed and full of himself on the release of his latest single. He is quick to retort about his exercise of freedom of speech whenever he’s called upon to answer questions on this not-so-wowing song.

Everyone agrees we are in the twenty first century, a new age of human thinking and understanding science, technology, business and the arts have become areas molded with sophistication of such ever changing time and milieu.

Of late, folks Hiplife has come under strong criticism that the man everybody believe, started it all has also added his voice to this self-destructive game play. It is very sad to hear people so called connoisseurs to say all sorts of things about the current rejuvenated genre called Hiplife as if it is the bane of the industry’s woes.

It was not too long ago folks that I had been to Monrovia the capital city of the war torn country, Liberia but my return to the once prosperous and loving country last week I realized that a lot had change on the entertainment scene over the period. The music and movie industry has started picking up even though in a slow pace, a multiple of Radio and TV stations it is a clear indication of how determined the people are to rebuild their country and the entertainment industry

Stage performance or stagecraft is crucial if not imperative, to the career of any musician. It is definitely not enough to have that velvet voice, not enough to command the number one hit song or album.

Hi folks, time up again for the flight you all been waiting for this week on my space jumbo, WFET-105, which travels with the speed of sounds on this high frequency above sea level.

Time on the radar is 6am sharp. Hi everybody time is up for the smooth take off of your reliable jumbo 105, your number of space rockets, WFET-105 for another rollicking journey to the Entertainment world where the bad news is that that…Lucky Dube is gone. God is your co-pilot.

Folks, for those of you who are a little bit older and could remember the great curfew in the 80s at the same time mobile spinning with groups like Sky Hawks led by Young Joe, Mec Sounds led by Precious Jingles, Willie Chii, AFC Sounds and the later day saints like Zayaa, Vee Jay’s Moon Dogs among others.

Review: Vampire Weekend Contra Mar 1, 2010 12:44 PM, By Blair Jackson TalkBack The New York band Vampire Weekend came out of nowhere a couple of years ago with a quirky and infectious debut album that combined African and other influences with spare electronica and intelligent lyrics in surprisingly appealing ways.

Za mwizi arobaini. Bila shaka ushausikia msemo huo.Sina uhakika sana na idadi ya siku (40) lakini nina uhakika kwamba msemo huo humaanisha kwamba uovu una kikomo.Ipo siku utakamatwa.Inaweza kuwa sio ndani ya siku arobaini(40) lakini ipo siku tu!

Lakini inakuwaje siku ukimfumania mtu ambaye haibi kunde na choroko zako shambani bali anaiba penzi au mpenzi wako? Utapigana au utamuacha aende zake.Yaani namaanisha utayamaliza kistaarabu tu au mtaani patakuwa hapatoshi kwa vurumai au songombingo utakalolianzisha?

Sijui utafanyaje…lakini Hussein Machozi(pichani) anasimulia jinsi siku za mwizi(wa penzi,mali au hali) zinavyofikia ukingoni.Baada ya siku arobaini mambo yanawekwa hadharani.Tyler Perry,yule muongoza sinema maarufu kutoka nchini Marekani,anao mchezo(play) unaoitwa What is Done In The Dark…Must Come Out to Light. Labda Hussein Machozi anamaanisha hivyo pia.

Wimbo unaitwa Za Mwizi 40,unapatikana katika album yake ya Kwa Ajili Yako. Hii ni single yake ya 3 kutoka katika album hiyo, single mbili zilizotangulia ni pamoja na Kwa Ajili Yako na Utaipenda.Usikilize hapo chini;
