Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>To my fellow over 50s \u2013 so you don\u2019t know Ne-Yo? Don\u2019t stress \u2013 many of us do not know him. I first heard about Ne-Yo from a young Zambian friend working abroad who told me, two months ago, that she was coming home for the Stanbic Music Festival.<\/p>\n

Her attractions were Ne-Yo, Sampa the Great, Pompi and James Sakala. Don\u2019t beat yourself if you don\u2019t know Ne-Yo \u2013 even some under 40s that I know, do not know him. These things are about interest, religious inclination, your generation, chance and time.<\/p>\n

In our prime years there was only one hit at a time. Which was why on a periodic basis there would be the latest album or the latest hit single and we would all know it and know the singer. We would even refer to some tracks eg John Secada\u2019s \u2018Just Another Day\u2019 as the \u2018national anthem\u2019. Of course there would be several hits but the highest selling album (or 12\u201d Single) would feature for weeks before another artiste would take the reigns. With no internet, the latest hit would come to Zambia through Lusaka (mainly through Zambia Airways \u2013 QZ or British Airways) and then would be shared with the Copperbelt and other provinces (via cassette tape and Radio).<\/p>\n

Most people in Zambia do not even know our local musicians. When a singer dies most of us ask what song he or she has to their credit. I didn\u2019t know Yo Maps until two years ago, even though I had been listening to some of his music for about two years. One of my sisters (who is even younger than me) can\u2019t tell the difference between Yo Maps and Macky 2., even though she loves \u2018 Finally\u2019 and \u2018Season Yanga\u2019 by Yo Maps Another younger sister, didn\u2019t know until this week that my all-time favourite singer, Whitney Houston had died.<\/p>\n

Last month, I asked a male friend if he had seen any of J Lo\u2019s movies and he asked me who J Lo is. So what am I saying? Don\u2019t stress if there are some singers or actors that you do not know. There is a lot going on and too fast. We are really in the Information Age and are overwhelmed. Google does help. Use it when you are curious. You do not need to know all the musicians. Enjoy what appeals to you. And the Beat Goes On!<\/p>\n
