That is absolutely correct these people don't understand anything only legend can
Dear Artists !!
As you are stuck between thoughts of tribalism or not
I want you to remember this !
1.Any Venue can be filled up by any artist and freedom hall isn’t an exception
2.The trend of filling up freedom hall these days is a Team work,it’s not through a big name anymore
An artist have to get a support of all the artists coming through,a big team to push it on social media ,a crucial person or people to invite the guests who are identified to come and pledge etc,
This seems a new strategy because different times require different strategies (and this style works only in the South Sudanese industry)
3.The narrative of tribalism in the music industry isn’t an imagination ,it’s true but it was engineered by few radio presenters who were denying artists radio play base on ethnicity (a presenter in radio miraya was accused)
I had warned a few years ago of this act escalating and might be hard to control
4.Traditional music is a trend so far ,and it’s a revolution to create South Sudanese sound (not everybody can sing to that)
But the truth remain artists can try to put up their concerts anywhere they suggests including freedom hall ,seek support of all artists from all regions including the “Dinka” in question,
Invite the guests who donate cars etc if that’s the priority
But now look at this
Our industry has lost its direction ,we are being driven by the pocket owner
Imagine these days you have to circulate a poster with a face of anybody in the name of invited guests,special guests etc just to make them happy to come and pledge
so now who is advertising who ?
It’s happening only here ,you can’t have Davido,s concert with unpopular faces thinking they are guests,
Artists have started undermining their power,
The Tradition sounds are very ok 👌
But you can’t have every artists singing to it as suggested by few
Each artist is best in their own style and can be identified with that
I applaud the artists that came out clearly to discuss such topic in public
The Road to growth requires determination and directions and you are great leaders
I love the fact that we are keen in watching and do fast analysis and raise concerns
