Lala Shishi :Gasmilla – Telemo

Lala Shishi :Gasmilla – Telemo

Lets throwback to 2015. Telemo was one of the biggest afrobeats song from Ghana in 2015. The song was played on every radio and every party/event. This song is still relevant today because of its interesting message, it talks about how the struggles of young men in Ghana with respect to women. We would love to explain it to you on Lala Shishi.

According to Gasmilla “Telemo” has two meanings; the amusing side and the meaningful side. The amusing side being “Oyawo kakla yoo, aafↄlↄ bo tamo shito loo, telemo”, meaning you have gone in for a “knife lady” and she’s cutting you up like grilled tilapia, carry it’’ and the meaningful side is “esani ole, Nyↄↄŋmↄ gbeↄ ni ayeↄ meaning you should know, Its God who kills, for us to eat. Even this large sea, is able to overflow its boundaries. In the end my fans should remember that you can do all things through  God, hard work and determination.

sane f33 sane ni baaba naabu ak3 wye) djee kakla ak3 fo)This translates ; when an issue comes we dont use a knife to solve it instead we talk it out. Gasmilla is implying instead of war and fighting we should resort to peaceful dialogue to settle issues. 

“oya wo kakla yoo, aafolo bo tam) shit) loo telemo af) shit) eha bo, agben33 asha bo tam) ada nngoo, telemo onn33 blowman, oofu chichi oonaa eko oma, telemoThis translates ; you’ve gone for an iron woman now she is “grinding” you like shrimp , You’ve gone for an iron woman now she is grinding you like fish from Ada ( Fishing Town In Accra) .

onye egbo, ost3 egbo aana bo tam) abotia koo y3 k)l)ko, y3 koliko abuu bo 3ha nyafua ko sani ole nyungb) gbe) ni aye), nyungb) gbe) ni aye) yinsh)) gadjaa n33 po 3faa ni 3yi), 3faa ni 3yi) ooo ” Your father is dead , your mother is dead.. You are seen as a goat , you have no respect in this community yet you dont humble yourself.

Lala Shishi – explain the song, in Ga.

Every week, we will shed some light on the meaning of current hits in and out of Ghana: many bangers have an underlying message or social commentary, carried out using sophisticated and ever evolving wordplay – an aspect that is vastly lost in translation. The music videos don’t always unlock the true meaning or intricacies of hit songs, and lyrics alone are not always enough to understand the numerous double entendre and wordplays, so… here we go!

Lala Shishi :Victor AD – Wetin We Gain

Lala Shishi :Victor AD – Wetin We Gain

This is a street anthem!! Gaining waves in Nigeria, Ghana and Africa Beyond. This song is loved by the huslters(Fraud Boys , Scammers and Etc) . Victor Ad talks about his struggles to make it in life . He asks the question ” Wetin We Gain ? ”  to say ; after all his struggles in life if he gets money and doesn’t buy a Benz … What has he gained ?? Nothing!!.

Oluwa magbegbe mi “ Lord Dont Forget Me , I want all this money I no wan take the same step wey I take last year wey no work for me oh (Wey no work for me) He prays ; Lord Dont Forget Me i dont what to follow the same steps i took last year that didnt work . Lead me to something new (finding a new hustle ) which will make him loads of money.

(Phone rings) Phone dey ring
Na family dey call oh
If no be billing, na something dey sup oh
Anyhow e be, omo money is involve oh  ; Anytime his phone rings its his family calling asking for money or there is an issue at home that will involve money he doesn’t have.

Oluwa bless me ’cause I no fit dull oh
So much pressure on a male figure
I say in dollar, I still want that 10 figure
I need the kind money wey go make Dangote say
“Who be this black skin man wey dey worry am?” ; God Should bless him because he is tired , there is too much pressure on him and he wants 10 figures in dollars in his account. He needs money to make Dangote (Richest Man in Africa) ask questions about him .

Wetin We Gain basically talks about a young-man street hustling and doing anything possible to make it in life to buy a car and a house. He says if he fails to buy a benz he hasn’t gained anything in Life!!

He says they usually post nice pictures on instagram but when you meet them they’re nothing like how they look on the internet. He also advices that if you’d make it in this life you have to follow 3 things. Be truthful , hard work and the fear of God. }

{Verse 2}
Hmm Wo ye ajoma w) ECG

{ Sarkodie takes on ECG(Electricity Company of Ghana the main distributors of electricity in ghana) he talks about their workers who engage in illegal connection , he also mentions police men who work with armed robbers to rob innocent people( in recent times some policemen have been exposed in working with armed robbers ), he also talks about hypocritical pastors who go to Atwea Mountains ( popular place for prayer ) and come back to engage in sinful acts , he also talks about the surge in ” Slay Queens” a term used to describe women who do not have a wealthy background but appear as if they do. He says they usually post nice pictures on instagram but when you meet them they’re nothing like how they look on the internet. He also advices that if you’d make it in this life you have to follow 3 things. Be truthful , hard work and the fear of God. }

 

{Chorus}

{Outro}

Here he talks about corrupt government officials , church people who steal church money , thieves, cocoa farmers who cheat (adjust their scales below the minimum requirement) , witches in the extended family who torment their family with the aim of destroying their lives and a pastor who preaches lies, they are all warned because they will be exposed * Ye Be Pa Wo *

 

 

Lala Shishi – explain the song, in Ga.

Every week, we will shed some light on the meaning of current hits in and out of Ghana: many bangers have an underlying message or social commentary, carried out using sophisticated and ever evolving wordplay – an aspect that is vastly lost in translation. The music videos don’t always unlock the true meaning or intricacies of hit songs, and lyrics alone are not always enough to understand the numerous double entendre and wordplays, so… here we go!

DJ Spotlight: DJ Fro (Ghana)

DJ Spotlight: DJ Fro (Ghana)

Music, especially of the loud, danceable kind, is ubiquitous in most of Africa. Yet DJs, the artisans behind the walls of sound, often remain in the shadow. This is not how we roll: we want you to find out who is pushing the envelope throughout the continent.

This week we feature DJ Fro from Accra, Ghana.

 

When did you start DJing – and what or who were your early passions and influences?

It all started in 2012, at the University of Cape Coast where I had my tertiary education. I was in my hall of residence, Kwame Nkrumah Hall one evening and I didn’t like the music that was being played via the hall’s radio so I called the request line to ask them to play something better. They said, “If you can do a better job come downstairs to the studio then” so I went over and played a few songs using Virtual DJ, soon they had a lot of hall mates calling in to say they were enjoying the songs. I was told to come play every Friday evening and that’s where my unprofessional career as a DJ started. Soon after, my professional career as a DJ also started when I started my internship as IT Support at Xfm and was given the opportunity to DJ live on air.

 

What type of DJ are you and how do you fit into the industry in Ghana ?

I believe a “Mobile DJ” best categorizes me currently. I mostly play Afrobeats, Hiphop (both new school and old school), Funk, Afrohouse, Deephouse, Funky House, Reggae/Dancehall, Moombahton, Grime and Afroswing. However, I’ve always loved to DJ on radio to promote Afrobeats and Ghanaian music. I currently still promote Afrobeats and Ghanaian music, so I guess that’s how I fit into the entertainment industry in Ghana as a DJ.

 

What single night out has been the most memorable for you? As a DJ? As an attendee?

Well, this question is golden! There has definitely been many memorable nights but the most memorable one for me as a DJ and an attendee was when I DJ’ed at an event by Xfm where I met my girlfriend 5 years ago. There were many DJ’s on rotation that night so I was able to have a dance with her and that was the start of something magical for me.

 

What is your goal as a DJ, and what are the next steps for you to get there?

As a DJ, I aim to own a radio station someday so I can share my love for music with Africa and the entire world.

 

Can you tell us a bit about this mix, what it represents and means to you? Does it reflect what you sound like when djing live? 

I made this mix to illustrate how songs from “some unsung” music artists in Africa also fit in the mainstream Afrobeats scene. Yes, we can mix it up not always music from the popular artists. This mix mostly has new music from Africa for the period of July to the start of August with your favorite unsung artist also in mind.
