Second Republic achievements articulated through music
THAT music has long been a powerful tool for shaping communities, inspiring unity and propagating ideologies that connect people and ground them with the struggles or developments of the era is not new, it is historical. In the days of the liberation war in Zimbabwe, songs or music as an art form served as a vital instrument to communicate nationalist goals, rally support and educate communities about the reasons behind the fight for independence. The tunes, often performed during pungwes, became the voice of the people, conveying hopes, aspirations and the collective desire for liberation. It was a soft way of preaching the liberation gospel to a heterogeneous audience in a soft but sometimes emotive way that led to mass mobilisation. Today, that spirit endures as musicians continue to use music not only to celebrate progress but also to inspire development and patriotism.

Dancehall’s missed opportunities: Don Tarz reveals the secret to success
Dancehall musician Don Tarz expressed his disappointment over the challenges facing the Malawian dancehall scene, likening it to the mineral-rich Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where local resources primarily benefit outsiders. He emphasized that, like a flame that attracts but doesn’t warm, many Malawian dancehall artists can energize a crowd but struggle to seize financial opportunities. In light of this, in a post on his official Facebook page, Tarz highlighted the memorial show for the late hip-hop artist Martse as an example of a successful monetization strategy, where attendees were allowed to pay at the door. He elaborated on this by describing the approach as an effective way to support their efforts, noting, “You have to make hay while the sun shines.” Unfortunately, this is not the case for the dancehall community, where events like the memorial show for the late dancehall artist Mafunyeta are consistently organized for free,

Dua Lipa Scores Legal Win as Judge Dismisses "Levitating" Copyright Lawsuit
Dua Lipa scored a legal victory in a copyright lawsuit over her 2020 smash hit “Levitating” after a judge dismissed the case. Lipa was initially hit with a pair of “Levitating” copyright lawsuits in March 2022, one from Florida reggae group named Artikal Sound System that was dismissed in June 2023, and another from L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer. Judge Katherine Polk Failla dismissed the latter in New York court on Monday, explaining that the commonalities between songs were not protectable under copyright law. In their initial suit, Brown and Linzer accused Lipa of copying both their 1979 song “Wiggle and Giggle All Night” and 1980 song “Don Diablo,” two tracks dating from the disco era. They stated that the opening melody of “Levitating” was a “duplicate” of the melody to their songs and claimed that Lipa herself had “admitted that she deliberately emulated prior eras” in the press and “took inspiration” to create a “retro” sound.

'Imararungu' album is a deliberate Gakondo movement--Victor Rukotana
Musician Victor Rukotana has, for the past two to three years, been regarded as a cowling baby in Gakondo music. He is now showing signs of taking over since releasing ‘Imararungu’ album, his first full-length project since launching his career in music in 2018. Rukotana’s 10-track album is not just a “regular release.” “It is a “deliberate movement to preserve and elevate the Gakondo genre,” he told The New Times. According to the artiste, Imararungu album is deeply rooted in Rwandan culture, primarily through the use of traditional instruments and themes. One of the standout aspects of the album is its recurring motif: the cow. In Rwanda, cows are more than just livestock; they symbolize wealth, wisdom, and cultural pride, representing the country’s rich history in selective breeding and traditional values.
