 new From the Soul, Another Talent Emerges
 Nina Simone, Anita Baker, Sarah Vaughn, the unfathomable  serenity of their incredible sounds, all fuse – in morsels – to  create the distinctive, melodic tunes of Jeremiah, a talented  jazz musician whose sophomore album is currently in the  works

 Potential From Despondency: Actress  Ebbe Bassey Exposes her Talent to the World
  If personality were a key casting attribute in the world of   acting many of today’s endowed performers would be at the   center stages of theaters. One can deduce that the sometimes flaky realm of theater only leaves room for the passionate to stand, because without fervor, perseverance would be left on wobbly ground.

 Angelique Kidjo: “My Music, My Vision”
 The nearly perfect, colorful, traditional imageries captured in  her break-through videos were beyond commanding. In  inventive motions Angelique Kidjo set a tone and stage very  foreign to many African women and girls at the time, releasing  an enigmatic sensation that hung loose around passion better  left unexplained

 Jacqueline Kibacha Positions Pretty in Therapeutic Poetry
 
She goes by the name Pretty Poet; she  dexterously creates words that hover around  smooth jazzy notes, and those same words cling to substance than most average poems. Tanzanian-born Jacqueline Kibacha crafts poetry with a purpose far beyond leisurely pursuit – to design art as a form of therapy for women.

 Young "Don" to Change the Face of Hip hop
 To use the word “interesting” in describing a  lawyer-cum -  rapper is mere understatement. To  say there could be some  gain in such a choice is a view well held by Emeka Onyejekwe, former Ohio State University football player, professional model, published author and lawyer, now in ardent pursuit of his music career

  Akosua's Melodies Unravel the Healing Art in Music
  A short hair cut on a black woman, they say, is redolent of   her strength, natural beauty and confidence. Such   an appearance, to some, is indicative of anything but   placidness. Like most stereotypes, however, this flawed   judgment is fallacious. Akosua's music effortlessly moves one into a place of serenity, something most artists have attempted but failed to accomplish. The pacifying rhythms of this San Francisco-based Ghanaian/American are representative of a fresh kind of tone.

  Sali Oyugi: An Adventurous East African Songbird
  
When South African songstress Miriam Makeba jazzed   up the continent with Malaika, Fata Fata and The   Click Song in the 1950s, the world took notice of her   powerful sound. Some decades later, from the historical city of Ouidah , Benin , Angelique Kidjo emerged. With energy as commanding as her predecessor, Kidjo broke through gender barriers and electrified crowds with her performances.
