THE MOROCCAN LOVE POT: Couscous

" Can I call you on Saturday ?", he asked. That sounded like a good idea that no matter what, I had no tangible reason to turn it down — it's the weekend! This was the first time I actually got an open invitation to a Moroccan home to taste Moroccan cuisine, home-prepared  with lots of love.  (who doesn't love some  " home cho "? ) . I thought to myself that it was a good opportunity for me to immerse myself in the culture, at the very least reveling in it. It's  11 o'clock in the morning,  I'm still in bed half-awake when the call from an unknown number came through. I figured it might be Marwan since I hardly receive phone calls from my number. This was not far from truth as the person at the other end of the phone bellowed " weeeesh ". " Oh yeah what's up ? How's it going ? You already had breakfast ? " Breakfast you said?  I don't recall the very last time I made time to eat a hearty breakfast; It's just...

Shatta Wale Explains Why He Doesn’t Want To Collaborate With Yemi Alade At Coke Studio Africa


Shatta Wale 
<strong>was interviewed on Sammy Baah’s AM Pluzz today and the dance hall artiste addressed</strong> several issues arising from his CokeStudioAfrica deal. His publicist Chris Koney revealed to the press that Shatta Wale is the highest paid artiste among all of the other artistes who have been to the Coke Studio for some studio sessions.Shatta  
Yemi Alade 
As part of arrangements, Shatta Wale was scheduled to record a song with Nigeria’s Yemi Alade but it seems the dancehall king is not interested in recording a song with the ‘Johnny’ hitmaker. He dislcosed that he respects Yemi Alade so much but he’s not interested in recording a song with her because they are both doing different style of music. 
“I respect Yemi Alade too much but its not that i don’t want to do that thing (record) with her.Am not into Yemi Alade’s kind of music because we are both doing different style of music and i wouldn’t be comfortable doing any song with her. My team are still having a meeting with coke to see if there can be a change of things.

You know someone who cultivates yam has a different way of cultivation his crop from someone who cultivates pineapples. For me and Yemi Alade we are just like that and we cant do this record together.” He said.

Daddy-Long-Legs at the Rabat Medina

I call him "Daddy-long-legs" because of his tall, slender frame with long legs. Just a few inches taller than I am. I was overwhelmed  in a positive way that fateful Saturday. I mean the reception itself was beyond comprehension. They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and I think that might be fairly true. " Would you like to go to Rabat with us? " Hajia Latifa   asked after the sumptuous meal of couscous had settled. Although I looked confused, probably because I did not understand what was being said, I just nodded. Rabat, okay let's go. There's no harm in that. She was already dressed in a beautiful djallabia laced with embroidery on the front. All right, that was so typical. Oh how can I forget Haj Abdelrahim (It's pronounced a certain way). I prefer to call him Alhaji Rahim since I couldn't bear with the twisting of my delicate tongue (I'm smiling in old negro spiritual). " Yo quiero", "je t...
