Using words as musical instruments.

                 HOW CAN LOVE BE RECKLESS? She heard the sound "Knock knock"...she froze, took a minute... "who is at the door?" A yelling that betrays the mixture of anticipation and this fearfull courage now all up in her face, nothing, no response but this particularly loud silence that feels like a blanket covering the entire room. Determined to stay calm, Debby took to her phone seeking to retry the failed attempts at self-distraction. It came the second time, the third time and went on for hours. The sound was now clearly defined, not at the door to the room but from the fragile organ which is now beating twice as fast. Boom! she wakes up, there is music coming from the neighbour's truck park'd outside:  "there's no shadow you won't light up, mountain you won't climb up coming after me there's no wall you won't kick down, lie you won't tear down coming after me" Feeling relieved she listened again as the s...

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 eve...

You are the word at the beginning One with God the Lord Most High. What a beautiful, powerful, wonderful name it is…the name of Jesus Christ my King …You are Christ Nothing compares to this. You didn’t want heaven without us Jesus you brought heaven down. “Greatest Love.” This song by Hillsong Worship is one powerful song that expressly pours out the glory of God with some kind of force like pleasant spiritual explosives and fireworks. “You have no rival, you have no equal, Now and forever God you reign, Yours is the kingdom, the Glory, the Name above all names.” The human race is salvaged totally from every evil. The salvation of souls is exactly what the name of Jesus Christ stands for. It is a function of trust, faith and a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit to receive the gift of the greatest love. This Love: that a man who is the personification of the most Holy and true God, took the form of humanity and died to give life, conquered de...

The law of mutual benefit provides that meaningful relationship is only possible when respect, honor and value are mutually shared. The quality of any relationship is completely dependent upon the willingness of mutual pursuit. These are the words of Dr. Robb D. Thompson in his book “10 Critical Laws of Relationships” The song I’m particularly excited about here is titled “Bleed the same”. Mandisa has a greatly inspired voice, perfectly pitched with musical precision. The feature of Kirk Franklin and TobyMac gives the track an excellent brilliance that rates the song perfect. “Only love can drive out all the darkness…. We were made to carry one another…” Many people find it difficult to understand the need for the presence and existence of others. Some just have   a twisted understanding of the essence of life. They think that their race or community is super superior and other human beings who cannot speak a particular language or do not subscribe to their...

#AnimateExpressions for the song #Sometin by @omawumi Just love who you love, Life is too short to do anything Else –Omawumi @omawumi dear sister, we @themusopole hereby present to you these multiple awards in words. Yes it is not tangible or physically displayed (for now) but the fact of appreciation and genuine celebration of excellence is what gives this documented plaque its priceless attribute. This article styled #animateExpressions speaks a bit about the impact of your music to us as related in this personal experience. Imperfection is nothing but a classification that has an effect only on the minds of people who need the approval of others before they feel good about what they’ve gat, what they do and who they are. My story is one of perfection as this song fires up the perspective of always seeing and loving the ‘best’ which I know is mine. One remarkable day, the love of my life met me. That day was not particularly a red-letter day, (it was kind o...

#AnimateExpressions #Forgiveness This is a song of hope and determination to live and stay alive. A living dog is better than a dead lion. It is better to be in love and making everyday count than to be hopelessly all by yourself. This song destroys the spirit of depression, reiterates the need to have relationships and it ultimately gives a psychological revival to every person or group of people who care to listen keenly.                          “The meaning of forgiveness, people make mistakes…” Justin Bieber says to not give in. Forgive yourself even when you think you have made the worst of mistakes. You don’t know what the next person is struggling with and even to the “next person”, I say to you that these words are still relevant and important to you, me and us all. “Life is worth living” Contemplating suicide? Don’t even think about it, do...
