Local Entrepreneurs Establish Independent Music Charts

Ndeipi Designs and Finto Marketing have come together to establish a weekly music charts, Ndeipi Hot Ten. It has been necessitated to add platforms that help musicians reach out and also assist in getting feedback.

The music industry is growing more and more musicians continue to emerge. Melodious music, social commentary and praise songs make up the mix. Music is intended for the society, it belongs there. A song may carry message of hope to a person who is in the deep valleys of Chimanimani. How to link the hopeless with the song carrying their message is the problem musicians have.

Also musicians want to know if their music is making the grade. So feedback is important to inform future decisions. A lot of music is ending up in cupboards yet it could have helped send messages of hope to our society. With the Ndeipi Hot Ten a musician will know within a week after the release of his song if it is making an impact through the people who will vote. Fred Farai Nyakudanga FFF as he s commonly known shared how the chart works.

"We publish results every week with the number of votes cast

It becomes easy to grow your audiences every week in the Ndeipi Hot Ten. You will also know when to introduce a new song. Some argue that if you do not have broadcasting platforms then how will people know about my song. We give our musicians a link to share with their fans and by so doing the song begin to be requested. The interest fans have to put their musicians on top is so encouraging and in the process the spreads". He ended by saying "We have a few platforms that are still radio attached and many musicians fail to get access as musician population is rising everyday".

Ndeipi Designs is an urban and sports clothing company which was incorporated in 2017. Ndeipi intends to capture the Zimbabwean and African youth identity through clothing. They are based in Harare. Their partners Finto Marketing are Music and Musicians Marketing Consultancy.

Resilience: The Key to Navigating Life's Challenges

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga (FFF) Life's no paradise – resources are scarce, competition's tough, and adversity's constant. But it's how we respond that defines us. Resilience is the ability to bounce back, to sweep away trouble and hold firm to gains. I once had a business in my 20s that did well in the short run, but when I sought support from a wealthy relative to expand, I was labelled lazy. I fought back, true to their word I became unpopular. Later, I realised people look at what you've achieved, not what you promise. I refocused, sought trusted support, and bounced back – refuting allegations of laziness. Each challenge's a battle; each win builds confidence. You don't start winning big battles, but small wins accumulate. Employers seek elasticity; vision falls on resilient people. As I was ridiculed and falsely accused, I gained favour with people in good time. Adversity may conquer, but bouncing back is resilience. Life's short. Elastic...

The Power of Family Influence

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga The African proverb "charity begins at home" takes on a deeper meaning when we consider the profound impact of family on our lives. As I reflect on my own experiences, I realize that the values, beliefs, and behaviors we learn from our families shape us in ways that are both visible and invisible. As a former restaurant manager, I noticed that people's behavior in public spaces was often a reflection of their home environment. Some patrons would leave the toilet spotless, while others would leave it in disarray. The effort we put into maintaining hygiene in our kitchens is often mirrored in our public behavior. This observation led me to realize that our family's influence extends far beyond our childhood years. Our parents' behavior, expectations, and values are imprinted on us from a young age. We mimic their actions, adopt their beliefs, and internalize their criticisms. As we grow older, we begin to make choic...

Unavailability Of An Official Music Distribution System Depriving Upcoming Musicians.

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga FFF Music is important to our lives, I personally would not function well if all the music in the world is quietened. Actually it’s naturally impossible to stop all music playing. Have you ever walked into a thick forest alone. An unknown bird will volunteer to entertain you. Maybe the ability to choose the music you prefer is what can be affected but otherwise music will always play, no one can ever stop music. Singers and musicians get inspired by a lot of societal happenings, with the intention to inform, tell a story and entertain musicians reveal complicated issues that are not easily communicable in public. They make songs out of unpalatable subjects and mitigate their effects to the society in the process. Oliver Mtukudzi sang Tozeza Baba. The song is a narration of children’s perception of their abusive father who beats up their mother. The children express how this vacuums out their happiness. Weather the song has been played ...
