THIS TIME FOR AFRICA
Jun 11th
The WORLD CUP is THE biggest worldwide sporting event. This year it’s being hosted in South Africa. The theme song this year is WAKA WAKA – THIS TIME FOR AFRICA, sung by Shakira. I think this is a beautifully executed video, representing the African culture and the diversity of this event. People are asking WHY not a African singer, but Shakira, is culturally diverse, so why not her? And umm chica . . . CAN MOVE IT!!! Watch it below:

He actually made a special appearance in VA, about 2 years back at Selector Fabulous BDay Bash. When he DJ’d for B-Randi and let me tell you . . . she MASHED up the place on his selection. (I won’t lie, the party was kinda sloooooooow before he played lol) Di yute deh a go hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
