2Face Idibia has been seen as one of Africa's biggest musicians for the last couple of years. He hasn't had a track as big as his debut hit 'African Queen' from the Grass 2 Grace album, but it has not done badly either.

African Queen is undoubtedly a classic and one song that would be played and listened to in many African homes for generations to come. For all you know, Europeans, people in the Carribean, Asians and Polynesians would be singing along too.

This video below just about proves that

Africa meet China.
African music meet Chinese. :-D

A couple of years ago, a friend showed me a video of a Chinese man singing Makossa songs. Zhen Ping Liu, popularly known as Liu de Karmer to his fans was the first ever and lone Chinese Makossa singer.
The name of the song is Assiko chinois, pretty good :-). Some friends joked that he probably wasn't him singing the song and someone else was doing voice over, but who really does that these days?

Chorus 4x
I am young and wise
Thought I have lots of lies
I'm determined to live right
Just because I'm young and wise

Looking around me
The world is running fast and I can't keep the pace
Voices are calling
Come let's blow time, do what feels good

The pressure is on
To do what's wrong
The system's pulling me along
It's hard to wait
And like life straight
Oh!

Nigeria: Reinventing Society Through Gospel Music
- Music has great and many kinds of influence over people. It is water or acid for the soul, depending on what is produced. It is an extremely versatile means of communication. It is capable of exploiting all the acoustic features that are used in verbal communication. Moreover, it does so in an explicit and structured way, which makes it an interesting and useful window into human communication in general. [All Africa.com music]
