đ¤ Musical Show Confessions đ¤
So⌠I went to a Zambian music show yesterday, and 'yikes'âwhere do I even start? đ
Iâve heard folks complain about certain artistsâ stage habits before, but 'experiencing' it firsthand? Letâs just say âshockedâ is an understatement.
đ Opening acts? Ear-splitting. I choose to not grade them⌠just 'why'?
â° Start time? Letâs say âfashionably lateâ doesnât cover it. The main act strolled in at 11 PM like it was a royal procession. đ
đ Performance? Letâs call it⌠'creative' (aka 'miming' to tracks). For someone with a decade in the game, Iâd hoped to hear 'live vocals'âor at least their 'own' songs, not just features.
Half the crowd had already dipped by the time the âgrand entranceâ happened. And shoutout to the loyal fans who braved the 'rain' to sing along to⌠a backing track. đŹ
It all circles back to that saying: "You teach people how to treat you.â And honestly? If we keep accepting this, artists will keep delivering it.
Moral of the story? Iâll stick to vibing with Zambian artists through my headphones đ§. Live shows? Hard pass for now.
Anyone else had a similar experience? đ
