Zima Awards not people centred...Too Rashed.. Zima awards ignored the people...the music fans. It was just wish wash...just rashed because it had spent 7 years AWOL. It was a Hogwash event. There wasnt even any consultation done ragarding some genres. No pun intended to Cynthia Mare but I had to consult google and ask music analysts at MSU what alternative music is and this is what i found...Alternative rock (also called alternative music, alt rock or simply alternative) is a genre of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular by the 1990s. The alternative definition refers to the genres distinction from mainstream rock music, expressed primarily in a distorted guitar sound, subversive and/or transgressive lyrics and generally a nonchalant, defiant attitude. The terms original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by their collective debt to either the musical style, or simply the independent, D.I.Y. ethos of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music.[2] At times, alternative has been used as a catch-all description for music from underground rock artists that receives mainstream recognition, or for any music, whether rock or not, that is seen to be descended from punk rock (including some examples of punk itself, as well as new wave, and post-punk). Do all the nominees sing punk? Secondly, Since when has Jah Prayzah started singing traditional music or its just how he portrays him himself in videos? Thirdly, I havent heard any song from Audious Mutawarira and Leonard Zhakata for the past two years...have you? hameno kuti vakaendesa chii? Fourthly, some of the outfits who where nominated I dont even know them? Best Engineer of the Year Winner: Obediah Matulana -Isimbazu / Chimbadzo Obediah -Matulana Best Alternative Music Nominees Mzoe7- Mr Gagagugu The Moogunation Yolanda Candice -Yolanda Candice Best Dancehall Music Nominees: Jimmy Wailer -Voice in the Waves Hebron Mash- Chigiyo Roots Revival . I dont know them! HANDIVA ZIVE The fifth aspect is that they were not people driven. People did not have the chance to vote for their favourite musicians. ZImas twitter handle or the facebook page was toggled off otherwise taizowona zvinyadzi zvichinyorwa nekuda kwekusarongeka kwavo. Koperai zvinoitwa nevanhu. I would also want to chide the artistes who sent their works for adjudication. How could they be fooled t the extent of not asking why one should submit for song of the year yet they will be looking at works done two years ago. Musadaro. did you guys see the picture quality of the government controlled ZBC? It was dim. and the ramp could not accomodate the choral group which sang Chinxs cover songs. After all have been said and done, after seeing how the spongy zima awards were, there should be another event of awards where people should VOTE VOTE VOITE VOTE for their winners using platforms such as fb, twitter, email, phone in, smses, etc even throughout the shows. I will find funds to put correct the Zimamistakes... Will make look brighter and audience driven. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to those who walked away empty handed. Alternative Music.... Support Local Music... ndakumboba sass raProphet Pfunde... Loyal to the Game WillSpeak
