OF LEVELS AND PISCES : Enter GENERAL KANENE.
By Namakando Nalikando-Sinyama
Granted that,although you would never ordinarily catch me dead lending an ear to his particular Music genre , I however, find General Kanene's latest artistic offering in Big Fish or 'Nsomba Ikulu' , a spot on piece of Social Commentary punctuated with quite Witty and well thought out social intercourse anecdotal renderings. He has carefully Remade or remastered the Nigerian P Square's 2019 hit song 'Nobody Ugly' and hijacked the beat to make it his own and perhaps, more importantly, embued it with irrefutably captivating relevance as regards the goings on in the Zambian social calender circles. The usually not so obvious Class distinction between patrons of public Mingling places is highlighted in this Song. There is a clique of Patrons that have been outted in this song who are seen lurking in the shadows and exude a distinctive aura of genteel sophistry which he urges Women of Easy virtue to try and sniff out or pick up on if ever they were to embark on an Angling Excursion in the cover of the night and were serious about landing Zeb Hogan's Positively 'Moster' Fish.
Kanene's artistic tenacity has come full circle and further goes to prove that , despite his usual bland and witless deafening racket he impregnates the airwaves with, which folks want to allow to pass as music and his now only too familiar Infractions with the Law on account of his randy nature that makes him gravitate and lavish over borderline nubile nymphets, the chap is not such a bad musician sometimes after all. This, even when he is given to persuasions of that Old man in that Book by Vladmir Nabokov, Lolita. He has effectively managed to seemingly recover from having been snabbed and thrown under the proverbial truck by his previous paymasters he used to sing for maybe due to his perceived Political Ethnic Incorrectness and through his repetitive social shenanigans which saw him get jettisoned as unrequired excess buggage and left to languish in gaol.
Lesson Learnt, "In Life ,if you are persistence at what you like doing, You eventually attain some degree of proficiency you hitherto never thought Possible." The end result of which can only sheer financial and spritual sense of abundance and fulfilment that not even Money can give you.
