To our esteemed Afri-tunes family on Hive, special greetings to you all!

Last week, in an effort to increase community participation, fun, and high-quality content, we asked our fantastic community for feedback, ideas, and suggestions on how to improve Afri-tunes Community.

The feedback we have got has been positive, and this shows that everyone is interested in the development and growth of the Afri-tunes Project.

We want to share the following changes based on suggestions from our supporters and ideas from the community administrators.

Your opinions and responses are much valued.

REVAMPING AFRI-TUNES CONTEST STYLE ✅️


In a bid to make our Afri-tunes Event more interesting and engaging, we've decided to add some new ingredients.

The first and second BEST submissions will get prizes, with consideration for the overall quality of the content shared (music + writing). Additionally, we will award the "Best Engager" or "Engagement Race Winner."

The weekly introduction post is where the prize announcement will appear. The following will serve as the reward for the following week (Week 32):

AFRI-TUNES WEEK 32

1st - 5 Hive + 5 Leo Tokens
2nd - 2 Hive

Winner of Engagement Race - 3 Hive + 50 Ecency points + 2 Leo Tokens

CHOICE OF SONGS ✅️


Everyone is encouraged to take part in the weekly event as usual by performing in any of the African-specific musical genres listed below, including Afro-beat, Afro-Jazz, Highlife, Makossa, Soukous, Sebene, Fuji, Tungba, Juju, Ogené, Apala, and Palm Wine Groove.

We do, however, want to make it simpler for those who find it challenging to select music each week (as well as others who would be interested in joining).

  • Every week, we'll offer song suggestions (1 gospel and 1 secular).
  • We'll also make an effort to post the songs' instrumentals.
  • Additionally, we will provide a RECOMMENDED reference style for you to utilize, making the task both simple and free of plagiarism.
It will be in this format so that you can easily cite the source.

*Song downloaded from [Naijaloaded](www.naijaloaded.com.ng)*

*Instrumental extracted via [Moises App](https://moises.ai/)*

The honor of suggesting a song or songs for the upcoming week will go to the contest winner.

You should always remember that you can sing your own songs in place of the suggested ones. Nevertheless, people who find it challenging to select a music will benefit more from the suggested tunes.

INTRODUCING AFRI-TUNES CURATION TRAIL ✅️


With the goal of curating HIGH-QUALITY AFRICAN MUSIC and TUNES on HIVE, we are happy to announce the creation of the Afri-tunes Curation Trail.

Our Curation Trail will go from the Afri-tunes Community to other Musical Communities on Hive.

Use the tag #afritunes everytime you share your HIGH QUALITY African music in any musical community on Hive (Music, Hive Open Mic, Pukumundo and Q-Inspired).

#afritunes

INTRODUCING AFRI-TUNES MEMBER BADGE ✅️


We value the excellent community involvement we receive. Because we take on the role of their genuine audience, we make every author feel special, joyful, and inspired to produce their best work.

We have all helped to keep up these amazing interactions and engagement. And we are actually a part of this wonderful family. In light of this, we will start awarding our cherished members with the Community "Member" badge. We'll start by highlighting five of our amazing members who have consistently created fantastic entries and actively interacted with other authors. However, we will add more members over time.

The decision was difficult, but we will start by awarding the member badges to @ovey10 @sholex94 @hopestylist @sapphirekay and @magicfingerz.

The member badge, however, does not elevate any particular member over other members in any way. Regardless of our social standing or geographic location, we are all connected by our love and respect of African music.

AFRI-TUNES ON TWITTER ✅️


Screenshot_20221010-040843_Twitter.jpg

We want to contribute to the Hive Blockchain in a variety of ways, one of which is through informing the Web 2 community about Hive and its beauty (especially on Twitter).

In order to share excellent material with the Twitter audience, we set up a Twitter account. We want to attract more fans of African music and provide them a fantastic platform where they can share their beautiful African tunes.

Do you mean onboarding?

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

Twitter account to follow: afri_tunes

We hope that this channel will attract future great Hivians who will share their musical works on Hive as well.

We all play a large role towards the success and growth of this community and I'm glad about this.

Yes, we hope to see more people trooping in, engaging and dropping wonderful entries.

You are welcome bro
Greater heights

Yes boss 🙌🙌

Loading...

I'm so happy about the introduction of song suggestion, gospel and secular, it's going to be really helpful. Cheers to the Mods 🍻

Yea, some people expressed the difficulties with regard to selecting songs every week, and we believe many people are also in the same "WhatsApp Group" (share the same plight).

Gospel and secular will make it easier for lovers of secular and lovers of Gospel. At least, if the suggested song no enter your eyes, it may inspire you to find something better. 😉

Thank you for your back to back support.

This is suweeet..😍😍
We are moving forward and becoming greater, I see greatness...
I'm really excited we use 31 weeks only to come this far, I celebrate the admins for their tireless efforts ooo E didn't easy but you guys are still pushing on and that's how heroes do....
Afritunes to the moon and back 💜💜♥️❤️🎶🎵🎵💯🎸

I see greatness

I see shayo sorry more greatness 😁


True bro, it hasn't been an easy journey. It is one that is burdened with lots of challenges, but we thank God for His constant support, back to back. And we thank everyone for the unique role we have played towards this growth.


and that's how heroes do

If superman dey wear agbada, I for fit relate well with this comment 🤧

But the way things are are, me ayam not understanding oooo 😅

Thanks brother
To the moon and back, then zoom off to another galaxy... hahaha, no time ooo

This is a very big leap towards greatness and establishment of our beautiful community!
Great thanks to the efforts of the Admins team, the sky is just our starting point!

True, it is just our starting point... we are ready to zoom off to the highest point 🥰

Thank you brother for your support

This is a standard initiative. Congratulations to the Afrituners. We miuve ☺

Thank you brother
You too much
Ya doing well

This is so nice, I so much love all the new input, I hope this brings more improvement to the Afri-tunes community.

About the lyrics, is it compulsory to add any part? Because I don't really like adding it to mine at all.

Thank you so much for the Afri-tunes membership badge, I'm honored 🙏💙.

Let's keep growing together 🥰❤️.

Yes, and I am glad that we all contributed to making this possible via our ideas and suggestions. We couldn't do it without everyone's help. Indeed, the progress is 💯 community driven.


For the lyrics, the aim of the lyrics is for your audience to sing along or easily relate with your song.

It won't be bad if you include the two or three lines of the Chorus, right? Surely, it won't... When you do that and cite the source, it doesn't water down the quality of your post.

It is analogous to quoting an author, or quoting "the Bible" and putting book, chapter and verses. Infact, reliance on primary sources help to give more accreditation to a piece, if we take it to the scholarship/institutional way. However, when it is done in excess, that's when it isn't scholarly enough.

So, yes, you need to include the lyrics of the chorus (at least). 🥰


You are highly welcome
You dey try too much Queen of Engagement 🙌🙌

Hmm, thank you so much for taking your time to give a very detailed explanation to my question, I'm so grateful and I understand you perfectly well.

Yeah, we all are doing really well 🥰.

I hope you understand better... even Dreemport accepts few lines.. that's scholarly you know 😉 and they wantu make you a great scholar 😁

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

Yes Sam, I understand it very well 😊.

You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome

Thank you and welcome to Hive.

This is so good to read, improvement is one thing I am always excited about and this is indeed a good one. Thanks for tagging me, afri-tunes to the moon.

It hasn't been an easy ride but we are glad to have you back and we hope to watch your beautiful entries once more. 🥰

Thank You so much

Very well, it is another record of huge updates. I must say the administrators are doing a great job.
I have a question. Concerning the engagement race (prize) above, what about those that do not publish content here but definitely like to vibe to them, are they excluded?

Or do the engagements matter differently from published posts?

Thank you so much brother, we appreciate your support wella.

Thank you for bringing this to our notice, it makes more sense when we get ideas and suggestions from pur wonderful community members.

It will be open for everyone in the community, both those who climb up the stage and those who cheer them on.

We will effect this correction in the introductory post of the new week
Let's all engage 😁

Thank you for bringing this to our notice, it makes more sense when we get ideas and suggestions from our wonderful community members.

Very well, thank you for considering that too. I guess I spoke as a representative of other community members who seldom publish content here but do engage. 😁

It will be open for everyone in the community, both those who climb up the stage and those who cheer them on.

Oh, thank you. Time to go wear my huge engagement shoes! 🚶‍♀

I guess I spoke as a representative of other community members who seldom publish content here but do engage.

Yes you did
And I am glad you did oo 😁

💪

Nice update 🥰
Congrats to the member badge owners, they earned it!

Just Joined the discord group and the curation trail... I hope to be more active from now, I still don't know why I find it hard to come up with an African song to sing.

The new suggestion about songs idea is good, it will help me a lot... Looking forward to next week's own.

Thank you so much for your lovely contribution

Yea, they earned the badge 😁 sumall sumall, we hope to grow higher and better 🥰

Thank you for joining the curation Trail... when you become Whale lasan.... our account go blowwwww

Thanks boss.... really appreciate your kind words

I'm so pleased to be a part of this amazing Community , @afri-tunes
The improvements and added projects are fantastic ideas. I can see this Community soaring higher and higher.
Thank you so much for the beautiful badge, I feel like putting it to my chest and giving it the biggest hug but I'm doing that in my mind. 🤗🤗🤗 I'm ever so grateful.
Congratulations to our stars @ovey10 @sholex94 @hopestylist and @magicfingerz
And to every Afri-tuner, you rock!! Keep shinning & winning.

PS: I'd love to suggest that collabo entries (including the songs and singers or musicians) can be suggested every week. It will also go a long way to improve the community love and togetherness.

Thanks so kindly once again for the opportunity. 😇😇

You are highly welcome and thank you for your constant support and back to back awesome content. You too much haunty 🙌

The improvement is for all of us to enjoy the community more and have excess fun, while we feel at home 😁

I am awwwning for the badge


Collaboration (collabo) entries are opened for those who would love to try it out. You know it can be somehow stressful and a bit technical, so it won't be fair to impose it on people.

Also, not everyone can pair with others. Me dah cannot sing na, if I pair with you I wee just spoil your shine. 😑

It is best when people who are compatible hook up to do it and present to Afri-tunes or any musical group on the chain.

E dey make sense wella sef 😁

Ah now you put it like that, it makes sense.. the collabo combo.
Thanks for clarifying that and thank you for every other beautiful comment you wrote 🤗🤗
PS: You will shiner my shine not spoil it; you that is good abeggg!

You are welcome

Ahh, is Sekani and Olujay that is good abeggg 🤧

Thank you so much dear, congratulations to you too.

Your suggestion is not bad, it can be done but I'm not sure it will be general, individuals can do that by themselves. I'm looking forward to seeing a collaboration from you and somebody 🥰.

Chai
Una two do collaboration?
Una wan kill person??? 🤧🤧🤧

Hahaha boss man, we're looking up to you 🙂🙂

Abi oo, he wan turn table now 😂.

Me ke? 🤧🤧🤧

No oo, I was just encouraging her oo 🙄.

Hiaaan
Hope the Encourager
God when?
When will they encourage me too? 🥺

Yes oo, I'm trying my best 😂.

So you mean I don't encourage you abi? 😒

You're most welcome love. Yes, it can be done by individuals and it'll be great. About the collabo with myself and someone else 😄😄we will see about that later okay 🤗🤗
