POETRIVISION: 'AUTOCHTHONOUS' -Visual Poetry by ike chime

The earliest autochthons of the earth lived in Africa and it was from there humans dispersed to other parts of the world. In this visual poem, Ike Chime tries to pip into the mind of the descendants of these forebearers, the way they would react to the present world we occupy today, the way they would assert their autochthonousness being direct descendants of the earliest inhabitants of our world.
"I am the son of the earth, I sprouted from the belly of the earth, I am autochthonous....."

Flavour, iconic Nigerian entertainer coming to Finland for the first time


The iconic Nigerian entertainer, singer, songwriter, and multi/instrumentalist FLAVOUR, who is also the current undisputable 'King of Highlife' will set his foot for the first time in Helsinki Finland.

The date is 15th June 2018. The venue, Teatteri Forum.



The artiste in brief
Real name, Chinedu Izuchukwu Okoli, otherwise known as FLAVOUR N'ABANIA, or simply FAVOUR.
He was born in Enugu on November 23, 1983, and it was in the same city he started his early romance with music at his local church as a drummer. Through the help of his local pastor after noticing his talent, he was sent to study music at a new institute established by a renowned musician and educator, Chris Ordor. It was at this institute, the Sound City Communications that Flavour learned to play other instruments, including the keyboard.
After the training, Flavour had exposures playing local gigs with some bands and also doing solo acts at outdoor Bar/Restaurants in Enugu and the positive reactions from the crowd at these venues encouraged him to push on.
In 2005 he released his first Album, N'abania which became a huge success. This was followed by Uplifted, and much more. From this point, Flavour became unstoppable as he went on to establish himself as a major superstar in Nigeria, and Africa in general.
