Buzz Meets Biz – first stop: Berlin

 

Throughout the months of October and November this year, the international workshop program “Buzz Meets Biz” is taking place in Germany, Spain, and Ghana, bringing together young music professionals from the mentioned nations plus the UK. Not only active artists but also promoters, bloggers, label owners, and other professionals in the musical field are involved, covering all kinds of modern genres. Through networking, sharing knowledge and experiences, and participating in educative workshops, these young creatives will be inspired and taught to take confident and smart steps in the tough world of show biz.

PART 1 – BERLIN, GERMANY

October 11 – 19, 2017

The first part of the mobility program took place in Berlin. The main focus of this session was the economic side of music: revenues, licensing, copyright, distribution, etc.

Organisers of the Buzz Meets Biz Berlin were Andrea Goetzke and Sebastian Hoffmann of Music Pool Berlin in cooperation with: iRights, Fundación SGAE, Cooperación Española, Akwaaba Music, Goethe-Institut and the Alliance Française Accra. The programme is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and Goethe-Institut Ghana.

Lala Shishi : Tekno – Rara

Lala Shishi : Tekno – Rara

Rara Means No.

[Verse 1]
My Country people
Them dey talku talku
Them just dey perambulate
So so story, story every year oh ah
Nepa no bring light oh ah (x2)
Generator wan tear my ear (x2) oh oh oh
Plenty greedy men (x2) for there oh
Take project oh, forget na the matter

Tekno is talking about his country people (Nigerians), how they like talking and complaining about things but do nothing to change it. He also makes reference to how they walk about aimlessly and don’t like working (perambulate) . When people ask them why are they not working they complain about electricity . Nepa no bring light oh ah . NEPA -National Electric Power Authority – is the electricity provider in Nigeria. The entire line highlights the persistent power outages Nigerians face, which affect the economic life of people. Generator wan tear my ear – Due to power issues the use of generators is very common in Nigeria . Here he says the generators make noise and are tearing his ears. Plenty greedy men – Talking about politicians who are greedy and corrupt.

[Hook]
Forget about the big things oh
Say make we talk about the small things oh
Eh Aye aye oh, aye o pe meji oh
Forget about the big things oh
Say make we talk about the small things oh
Eh Aye aye oh, aye o pe meji oh

” People should forget about the big things and focus on the small things which is very important.”

[Chorus]
Rara oh, Rara oh yeah
Agbada, jangbaja, gbangban molagbada
Rara oh, Rara oh yeah
Agbada, jangbaja, gbangban molagbada

These ones lack meaning. Agbada is a type of dress worn in Nigeria.

[Verse 2]
Oluwa wey dey bless me “amen”
Shey e go bless you too “amen”
Bless your papa oh “amen”
Bless your mama oh “amen”
Oluwa wey dey bless me “amen”
Shey e go bless you too “amen”
Bless your papa oh “amen”
Bless your mama oh “amen”

Highlights his religious side by saying “Oluwa”, which means God, who blesses him, will bless you too and your family.. Amen..

See me I see you
Gbadura fun mi eh
Loke loke oh, baba adeleke oh
International something
Its a big situation
Them pack our money oh
Take to other nation
Invest for your country oh, make it a better place
Spend money for your country oh, make it a better place

Here he says ” Pray For Me” Gbadura fun mi eh. He also talks about how multinational companies exploit Nigeria to make money and take it back to their countries without investing in Nigeria. He also advices Nigerians to spend the money they make in the country.

[Hook]
Forget about the big things oh
Say make we talk about the small things oh
Eh Aye aye oh, aye o pe meji oh
Forget about the big things oh
Say make we talk about the small things oh
Eh Aye aye oh, aye o pe meji oh

[Chorus]
Rara oh, Rara oh yeah
Agbada, jangbaja, gbangban molagbada
Rara oh, Rara oh yeah
Agbada, jangbaja, gbangban molagbada

[Verse 3]
I go obodo oyibo, I go dey hurry to come back oh
And when I come back oh, I go dey hurry to go back oh
I no get charge oh, my phone don die
No fuel for generator oh, everyday situation
Pem pem pem pem pem pem pem pem pem
Pem pem pem pem pem pem pem pem pem
oh no no no no no no no no
oh no no no no no no no no
My Country people
Them dey talku talku
Perambulation
Story story oh, story everyday

Many people leave the country. While others nurse the desire to, those who come back do not spend much time at home. “I go obodo oyibo, I go dey hurry to come back oh. And when I come back oh, I go dey hurry to go back oh. I no get charge oh, my phone don die. No fuel for generator oh, everyday situation.”

 

 

Lala Shishi – explain the song, in Ga.

Every week, we shed 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 : Ebony – Sponsor

Lala Shishi : Ebony – Sponsor

INTRO by Ebony
Bony pon this

VERSE 1 by Ebony
See I’ve got myself a sponsor
Anything me I ask e dey buy buy
Even though he is older
Well I got to survive in this life
Another one who is younger
When I ask for something e dey cry cry

Ebony talks about the fact that she has two boyfriends. An older man who is married with kids and a younger one around her age. Due to hardships in Ghana some women date older married men to help them get enough cash to look after themselves: pay for school fees, buy clothes, etc. Ebony states how she is aware that the man is older, but she has to survive in this life, pointing out that she knows society in Ghana frowns upon young girls dating men who are old enough to be their parents, but because she has to survive she doesn’t care and will do it anyway. She also talks about the fact that anytime she asks the younger guy for something he complains. “When I ask for something e dey cry cry ” meaning when she asks he cries or complains.

CHORUS by Ebony

Mese papa yi a m’anya no yi deɛ ɔma me bibia [ɔma me bibia]
Nanso ɛduru anadwo a wobɛhwɛ na aka me nkoa [aka me nkoa]
Ɛda a ɔbɛba me nkyɛn me sɔ ne mu a asɛm a ɔka ne sɛ
Cool it for me, slow down
Me sisi yɛ me ya, eeh ya
Cool it for me, slow down
Me nkɔ te a ɛyɛ me ya
Honey, cool it for me, slow down
Me sisi yɛ me ya, eeh ya
Cool it for me, slow down
Me nkɔ te a ɛyɛ me ya
Oh Lord have mercy mercy mercy
These broke guys have lot of energy

” Mese papa yi a m’anya no yi deɛ ɔma me bibia [ɔma me bibia] ” She talks about the fact that anything she asks, the man gives to her.

“Nanso ɛduru anadwo a wobɛhwɛ na aka me nkoa [aka me nkoa]” — Due to the fact that the man is married and has to be with his wife and kids most of the time she feels lonely at night.

” Ɛda a ɔbɛba me nkyɛn me sɔ ne mu a asɛm a ɔka ne sɛ

Cool it for me, slow down

Me sisi yɛ me ya, eeh ya

Cool it for me, slow down

Me nkɔ te a ɛyɛ me ya “

With this particular line she talks about how when she spends the night with her older boyfriend and tries touching him he complains about having waist pains (Me sisi yɛ me ya, eeh ya), so she should cool it for him or take her time. ” Me nkɔ te a ɛyɛ me ya ” — There is a word play in this line. Literally this means “let me hear he is having back pains”, but when spoken it comes out as me koti (penis) ɛyɛ me ya ( hurts). Although Ebony doesn’t say it, this double meaning suggests why she is also involved with the younger man, who evidently fills this other gap 😉

VERSE 2 by Ebony

Inna mi down town hot just like a oven
But when the morning comes mi no have nothing
A boyfriend who cyaan buy you food when you a hungry
Mtcheew is that one too a boyfriend
So I change game move fast switch of the lanes
I got myself a sponsor

In this verse she makes reference to her younger boyfriend who is unable to provide her with money when she needs . She goes ahead to ask: is that one too a boyfriend? This is a line most people use in Ghana to make a point about someone or something being useless. Because her younger boyfriend is unable to provide for her she had to act smart and get herself an older boyfriend (sponsor): “So I change game move fast switch of the lanes I got myself a sponsor”

CHORUS by Ebony
Mese papa yi a m’anya no yi deɛ ɔma me bibia [ɔma me bibia]
Nanso ɛduru anadwo a wobɛhwɛ na aka me nkoa [aka me nkoa]
Ɛda a ɔbɛba me nkyɛn me sɔ ne mu a asɛm a ɔka ne sɛ
Cool it for me, slow down
Me sisi yɛ me ya, eeh ya
Cool it for me, slow down
Me kɔ te a ɛyɛ me ya
Honey, cool it for me, slow down
Me sisi yɛ me ya, eeh ya
Cool it for me, slow down
Me kɔ te a ɛyɛ me ya
Oh Lord have mercy mercy mercy
These broke guys have lot of energy

VERSE 3 by Ebony
Should I leave all these Gucci, Prada
Na which young girl no dey fear hunger
Dilemma I’m in dilemma
Bad gyal Ebony in dilemma
Obi kyerɛ me, me nhu nea me fa

With this verse she talks about her love for designer clothes, shoes and handbags, a passion for elegance which she shares with many women in Ghana. ” Should I leave all these Gucci, Prada , na which young girl no dey fear hunger” – talks about being scared of going hungry or broke.

“Dilemma I’m in dilemma , bad gyal Ebony in dilemma” – She is in a dilemma, she doesn’t know if she should stick to her younger boyfriend who loves her but can’t provide for her, or be with her older boyfriend who can provide everything for her, but she knows she doesn’t have a future with such a person.

Kayso – Your Type No Dey

[:en]

Follow Kayso: Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud | Instagram

Kayso has been making beats for a decade, producing hits for some of Ghana’s most talented artists, ranging from the most commercially successful (Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Becca, Ice Prince from Nigeria) to the most critically hyped (Wanlov the Kubolor, Wiyaala, Dex Kwasi, Ayat).

At the height of his craft, Kayso has decided to focus on his own music, unleashing Your Type No Dey:

“Your Type No Dey represents a growth for me. For a while I have been producing music for so many artists which has been a good ride but I decided to introduce to the world a different side of me which I felt was not being shown: I can also sing, and I love music that’s chill and energetic at the same time.”

“This EP idea came about when I first made the song “Your Type No Dey” at the Ground Up studio in Tema. it’s an afro-electronic song where I was singing about some girls I have come across in my life and how they are special. I performed it to a few people last year and the response was overwhelming. So I decided to make a whole project inspired by my interactions with people, the way of life of people around me and Ghana as a whole, over beats that have that fresh afro-electronic vibe. And so this is it, “Your Type No Dey” , which means you are special, one of a kind.”
