Canoe Quarterly Magazine has set sail yet again with the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) edition which celebrates some of Africa's original music icons and legends. The 8th edition of the magazine was recently launched at the African Regent Hotel amidst music and fashion that adequately represented the theme of the new edition.
The edition is spearheaded by a fitting tribute to Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba; the story of the King of Afrobeat, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, and their relevance to today's music culture. Also in the mist of these icons that used their music as weapons for social change and new movements in music, is Ghana's originator of hiplife, Reggie Rockstone. Reggie talks about his musical journey and sounds off on various issues including Payola ad patenting the word 'hiplife'.
The GOAT edition also acknowledges a new generation of flag bearers in the African music renaissance by highlighting the works of Youssou N'dour, Rocky Dawuni, Salif Keita, M3nsah, Sena Dagadu, Nneka, Kaysha and Jozi among others. There is also an interview on Panji Anoff, the head of production house and record label, Pidgen Music, where he talks about the making of a musical titled 'Cos Ov Noni' and starring M3nsa and Wanlov.
Jane Awindor of Stars of the Future and Irene and Jane fame, graces the cover of the magazine as she prepares to launch her solo career as Efyah. She returns to the music scene with more than a new moniker but also a refreshing style and a new musical direction, as was evident in her live performance at release party last Friday.
Canoe Quarterly Magazine is sailing rapidly through the rest of Africa and beyond with distribution in Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia; and a subscription base in the UK, USA, Canada and other parts of Europe. And soon to be introduced in Kenya and Egypt.
Canoe showcases stories on fashion, beauty, home, lifestyles, sports and business; essentially highlighting the various dimensions of Africa's progress, while paying homage to the continent's strong heritage.
