MTVbase launched a series of themed night events a few months ago in different venues around the country where local talent is showcased, in support of the network's objectives. These parties/shows take place every first Friday of the month.
This past Friday MTVbase did it large as we ushered in the new season, Spring. The MTVbase Nights last Friday only featured 2 artists that were nominated in this year's MAMA's as MTV Africa's Road To The MAMA's. When the awards were launched last month, I asked MTV Africa's Communications Director if this project would happen this year in the build up to the actual event. She confirmed it will, but in a small scale with smaller events in clubs; and this past Friday just paid testimony to her response.
It was a great night filled with great music in the form of performances from MAMA nominees HHP and Gang Of Instrumentals (who featured super hip hop producer Omen in their first song), as well as hip hop deejays C-Live, Dimplez, Master M and Jay Music. Siya a.k.a. Slikour was the MC for the night and he did a great job getting the crowds hyped up. There was also a snippet where Proverb coached a young lady who wanted to face her MC'eeing fears as part of the Airwick Challenges that Airwick and MTVbase are doing.
Great music, great conversations with great individuals like HHP, Slikour, Melanie Ramjee and Sizwe Dhlomo, what else can a party-goer ask for. Oh, there were also some NBA players in the house.
Keep it locked here for next part of the MTVbase Nights taking place next month.
