MUSIC VIDEO (Mozambique): Skalled's Favorite Song

Skalled is even hotter in My Favorite Song, which was published earlier than Hitsakile, on March 5, 2015. The frenzy in this song is not diminished at all by the fact that it runs for just (for all of) 2:49 (precious) minutes, which is a little more than one minute shorter than the typical single, by my reckoning.

Skalled is both teasing and naughty here, and full of zest. Her act is high-grade. She's just so super talented, and so bubbly and so self-confident. A true African Diva, if you ask me. But, with only 7,182 views so far, she's obviously not getting the attention she deserves from mostly parochial audiences whose tastes continue to be reinforced by equally parochial TV channels in Sub-Sahara.

Seeing her act (seeing her art) is believing it:


MUSIC (Mozambique): Skalled's Fabulous HITSAKILE


Here's a not-so-easy-to-come-by 'find', as far as the African pop music scene goes. Skalled is Mozambican -- a country that's off the beaten path, so to speak -- which just goes to show that talent is sprouting all over the continent, even as most of us remain firmly 'local' (and ironically 'foreign' as well) -- in our musical tastes.

HITSAKILE (which features Zico and Uhuru) is a super hit, is what I'm saying. Skalled's is a captivating, endearing voice. I think I see that it'll endure. She'll be around 'sum'. The dancing, by all who dance here, is a treat to the discerning eye. All that sure-footed, quick-foot maneuvering!

The video was released only on November 20, 2015. It has 5,500 views so far.
