PEACE FROM A KANURI MUSICAL PIECE



Kanuri music has for centuries contained and conveyed a deep desire for love that keeps sharing. The dance steps are very interesting especially when our adorable women and men collective put the color of love on display. While on stage or any venue of performance, Kanuri ladies maintain an appealing smile and so also the men. We are never in a hurry while dancing because we take majestic steps that signify royalty.

The adorable beauty is identified with different colours of dresses like ‘Gida wanga show’ and ‘Fuskar Kura’ among others which consistently evolve because the culture of contemporary dance is not for any particular tribe rather it cuts across all tribes, Bonsuwe (for Babur/Bura), Koroso (from Kano), Tangarno (Fulani dance) and so many other types of dance patterns.

When a collection of troupe do the very technical Shuwa dance steps with their eloquent play of good music, the Shuwa musical instruments just take over the entire atmosphere and it changes everything completely. You could always literally feel the energy of peace all over the place.

Our dancers are always happy because they are good at what they do. The fulfillment that comes with perfecting these cultural realities can be described only by experiencing live performances. One interesting part is that even when the people are not prepared, they still get to present the best because it comes naturally to them.

Two sisters who really poured out so much passion into this music. The track has been on replay for hours now; I don’t cross every T I don’t dot every i  Gat more flaws than a little And I messed up a thousand times I don’t always commit Sometimes I give up way too quick and then I get tired of trying to run away from who I am to who I want to be…🎶🎤 I ask myself “what are your aspirations in life”? it scares me to realize that I may never meet the minutest part of every single one of them-expectations.  My tears are mixed with the rain, my heart rending form the feeling of disappointment because, again, I have fallen back into the addictions that I keep battling for so many years. These days I wouldn’t even chose me for anything good. They say nobody can really know you as much as you do. Yes. The things I know about me are so hurtful that ...
