Hello people..Introducing YM's  SPACES & PLACES dedicated to Travel & Tourism to feature my trips, travel tips and the fav spots (on my wish and bucket list), and events around the world. 

Enjoy the scenery

I have always wanted to go wine tasting (in a winery) and been putting it up off.  Finally did it last fall and it was amazing. . It is a great relaxed activity..Most if not all wineries have Food & Wine events and tours. Food. wine tasting & winery tour should make a good date (other than the classic dinner..way the people go di form sef..lol),weddings celebrations or part of a corporate retreat...This is definitely a fav one for a romantic  Valentine's getaway!

"IN THE MUSIC": BANYE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL (KAMER ENTERTAINMENT INSIGHT BY ABOKI) #STOPBOKOHARAM EDITION

Hello people..It's another edition of "In The Music". This a guest blogger edition. Aboki interviews  Da BansoBoy, Banye...The 411 of his music, career, insight on the Camer music industry...and wraps up with #StopBakaram 

It’s a new year! *crowd screams* New handles, new faces, new resolutions (many of us wouldn’t keep) and a new interview from me[Aboki of Abokination]. 2014 was quite a year within the 237 ecosystem and I’m anxious to see what this year unveils. So far we've had many songs and an EP released (hmm I need to check the numbers(….. * remembers that this isn't a review*

SWITCH!

Last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Banye Augustine alias Banso Boy. It was more of a conversation and unlike a lot of my pieces, I raised my eye brows at some of the things he had to say. It is always quite refreshing seeing things through the eyes of others. We spoke about everything from music, his influences, Culture and Boko Haram. Just in case you don’t know who Banye is, He released the well-received track Chorkoh in 2012, Ova Sabi with Ngoma in 2013 and has been lurking ever since but it’s safe to say he is one of the most diverse rappers 237 has ever seen. He recently released a song called AMINA with Gee Reign. Banye is known for being vocal about his feelings and always puts up the ghetto attitude in all he does. So needless to say how excited I was when he accepted my request for an interview.

I hope you have fun reading this piece as I did having the conversation.

Aboki:

Thank you for granting this interview…

Banye:

My pleasure

Aboki:

You are well known within Cameroon’s ecosystem … but to those who don’t know you, can you please introduce yourself?

Banye:

I am Banye from Banso. Most people know me as “Bansoboy”. I am a rapper/producer/singer above all hustler.

Who is Ebot Blaise? A brief bio?

My names are Ebot Blaise a.k.a @didiblaise, I am bayangi from Ossing. Am a graphic designer and web developer, worked with AfroVisioN Group, a co-founder of njorku.com. Founder and CEO of Best Music Inc (www.bestmusicinc.com), Kwata TV ( www.kwata.tv) and KamerBorn Awards (www.kamerbornawards.com). I write, produce and direct entertainment content particularly movie, music videos, Tv shows and concerts. I am based in Buea.

The Best Music  Journey…How did it all start? 

I love music and I have a deep passion for it. My friends, Shady V (Wan Man) and Nami Nami Cyrus and I use to rap in secondary school and we were good. We separated after high school because we had different study programs to follow. In 2011, I called Nami Nami Cyrus from Yaounde talk to him about doing something serious with music, he did not hesitate. He came to Buea and we met with Young Bird who was ready for business. We called SLIMBEATZ who was in Douala at that time, he came over, and that’s how we started putting things together came up with a group called L.O.L, with a single called “Tonado” which is a club banger, whose video I directed. And that's how how Best Music Inc started creating its space in the music industry.   

HAVE YOU SAY: THE STATUS QUO OF CAMER FOOTBALL (5Ws & 1H)

Hello people..I know Camers are still trying to get over our dismal performance at AFCON 2015. 

I am generally clueless about sports but at I least know that Finke is the coach, Mbia is the Captain and everyone keep asking why Clinton Njie didn't play any match.

#BringBackClinton Njie has been trending all over social media.

Looking back at Cameroonian football  one cannot help but ask why it is in its current state. 

The Status Quo of Camer Football: What, Why, When, Where, Who and How did we get to this point? 

Some people are attributing it to the coach, others to tribalism and nepotism, others to FECAFOOT..and the reasons continue.
