Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Ça Ira by Cameroonian singer Nabila.

Although I'm part Cameroonian, I don't listen to much music from Cameroon. I tend to come across more Nigerian and Ghanaian music, occasionally some East African or South African. So, I thought it would be cool to share a Cameroonian song today. :)

Nabila's real name is Fatima Rodriguz and she has a Hispano/Spanish-Moroccan dad and a Cameroonian mum. She is from Bamenda in Northwest Cameroon (where my dad's family is also from!) and i think she's now based in Douala. She made her debut with the single Turn up and was later signed by French record label R.E.G.N. 

Her other singles include Sawa Romance with Locko (cover), Tromper featuring Tzy Panchak, Pardon Pars featuring Tenor and Dis Moi.

Ça Ira is sung mostly in French (one of the official languages of Cameroon)  and translates as "It Will Be Fine" in English. It was Nabila's debut single with R.E.G.N Records and was released back in June 2017.

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
