The Afri-Tunes community is one of the communities on the Hive blockchain that has made me feel like I belong somewhere.
I have been on the Hive blockchain for about a year and a half and now I can say that I have been everywhere and nowhere.
I have explored other communities and I have tried to fit in, but at the end of the day, the connection cuts off. When that happens, I'm usually left to start all over again looking for where I will feel connected.
At the time I joined the Afritunes community, I was camera shy. As time went on, however, I gradually started to feel comfortable.
Here is my testimony about Afri-tunes. I overcame stage fright in real life. In all honesty, I don't really know how the magic happened, but my constant engagement on Afri-tunes helped me overcome stage fright.
Remember I said I used to be camera-shy? I guess I overcame stage fright when I stopped being camera-shy.
That's one thing about being comfortable with the people around you in addition to having a connection with them.
It's Afri-tunes Anniversary and I'm glad the Afri-tunes community that started small and may have had people who had doubts about it is finally a year on the HIVE blockchain and is doing so well.
Some communities may have ideas and have started a community like this, but are not successful in their efforts. I'm happy for Afri-tunes because it keeps growing and is getting the attention of people on the Hive blockchain. It's also a matter of time before people would want to join the Hive blockchain because they like and would love to be a part of the Afri-tunes community.
AFRI-TUNES has made me more interested in learning and scoring African music. I love that I am able to listen to other participants and learn from them.
If there's one thing I wouldn't mind doing no matter what I'm paid, it is signing. This is because I am passionate about music.
I'm grateful to the AFRI-TUNES community, the founder @ksam, and co-founder @starstrings for giving interested participants the chance to express themselves through African music.
In honor of the Afri-Tunes Anniversary, I decided to sing Samsong's song Bianule. Bianule means 'come and see/hear'.
It's a Thanksgiving song to God, so I am using the opportunity to use the song to thank God on behalf of Afri-tunes.
Come and see that the Afri-tunes that started like it wouldn't make it anywhere is growing and doing so well at their own pace.
I'm excited about my Afri-tunes T-shirt and I want to say thank you to everyone who made it possible and a special thank you to @Ksam. Everyone should appreciate him for me. @jesus-son, @gloriaolar, @merit-ahama help me tag somebody to tag somebody to appreciate Ksam for me.
The guy had to cross a desert and a sea to get to me so he could deliver my t-shirt. I felt so bad that I made him go through that stress but he just kept saying no no no, it's fine, it's not a problem at all. Guys, help me thank him. He is amazing 🤗
Other special thanks on this day are to the people who make it a point of duty to make me smile in this community. You guys are amazing @jesus-son, @chidistick, @ovey, @sholex @sleemfit, @sayofunmi @Gloriaolar @maryjacy @ksam and many more. You are all amazing.
I have been daydreaming of having a deep-fried chicken along with fried rice, salad, and a nice drink to celebrate the anniversary, @ksam drop location for us oo lol.
Finally, this won't be the last anniversary we will celebrate. There will be more and we will always have a lot of things to be grateful for.
Thank you everyone. I hope you enjoy listening to this presentation. 💕
The instrumentals of the song was gotten from Moises.ai.
