KWAIT A STRETCH?

KWAICORE! KWAICORE! KWAICORE!

So how much really, can one say it would take for any random person (or people) to develop an idea, and transform it into something of commercial substance? While some may argue that education is an economic imperative, others go onto insist that all it really takes is vision and the drive to execute that vision. The latter, being an approach that many musicians dare to take on! Musicians like Thembelani Gumede aka Goomza. Noted, Kwaicore is somehwat of a daring move but as a producer, it's one of many small steps that could prove to be surprisingly lucrative for Goomza's business in the long run. A catalyst if you will. After all, Tudor Bismark did say that "being a millionaire is very easy if you do small things consistently!"

At the moment, we're currently trying to exploit the hell out of FREE publicity (because we're Black and it's what we do *shrugs*), but at the same time it would be really interesting to see how far ambition and drive can REALLY take you. Well... in two weeks. As an optimist I'd like to believe a lot of good could actually come from Kwaicore if we take it seriously. So good, in fact, that Kwaicore could become something of a much needed revamp for the music industry as some have said. Not only that but, I'm sure we've all noticed the rapid decline of Kwaito broadcasts on radio and television, yes? My thoughts? Well Kwaito was initially created to serve the interests of Black people. Indian people don't listen to it. White people don't listen to it. Coloured people don't listen to it, and I'm pretty certain neither do Asians and "Others". Even Black people have become too westernized for Kwaito! Essentially, it really has no audience.

On the other hand Hardcore Punk is no Hip Hop either, but say it was slightly more profitable a music genre than Kwaito, could it then be argued that Kwaito is the washed-up musician whose career Hardcore Punk could probably revive? In turn, imagine how many Black people would then take note of Hardcore Punk... and possibly even like it... converting what's left of Kwaito's audience, as well as that of Hardcore Punk, into an even bigger, more receptive audience. Kwait a stretch? I think not! If anything, I think this could turn out to be the start of a very mutually beneficial relationship... and if you'd like to bare witness to baby Kwaicore's first steps, look out for my post this coming week because...

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED!!
