The Phiona Okumu Episode
Much like a mangy stray dust-coloured dog that gobbled up the piece of pie you mistakenly dropped to the ground after stealing it, 2 Broke Twimbos keeps coming back. And today we bring you some pearls, nuggets, gems and mealie kernels of wisdom from someone who knows a lot about the entertainment business in Africa. Her name is Phiona Okumu, and attached to her name is the influence associated with being the Editor of AfriPOP! Magazine and African music curator for The Guardian among many other things.
In this episode, Dan & Phil unlock secrets on how to make their hot fire mixtape successful, we analyze some African artists and their journeys towards (and away from) success. Look out for lessons from Ice Prince, K'naan, Tumi Molekane and others. Also, a look at ZimDancehall and bribery methods that Dan & Phil will accept. We close off the show with Tocky Vybz' high flying single Toti Toti.
Early drop to make up for the missed week! The Twimbos are back with a fresh new episode, featuring frontline accounts from Nitefreak at Hinde, in-depth reports from Kigali, expert analysis of Sakhile Dube and Chidimma Adetshina's performances at Miss Universe, and shrewd diplomacy in their takes on the South African Mining standoff and El Salvador's gang prison. Enjoy!
