The Taponeswa Mavunga Episode
As you know, here on 2 Broke Twimbos we revel in our ability to connect to those who actually have a major influence in the entertainment industry. Few people are a bigger deal than Taponeswa Mavunga, currently working for MTV Africa as the head of talent & music, formerly of Warner Music. Taponeswa is a central cog in the machine behind many international artists' rise to fame, and she has (amazingly) given a cosign to 2BT.
Listen in as she describes her own story, how she started working in the music industry, working with acts like Jay-Z, Ed Sheeran, Rudimental, Estelle, Missy Elliot, Fabolous and more. Also she describes what needs to be done in Zimbabwe to insert ourselves into the world's periphery as well as how to get your music on MTV Base. We end off the episode with Taps' Zimbabwean song of the moment, Come From Far by Natty O of Kenako Music. Enjoy!
By the skin of our teeth we got an episode this week, and you can make it the first podcast you play on your brand new iPhone 13 4th Gen! Dan & Phil remember James Earl Jones, celebrate Learnmore Jonasi and fan out over Lil Wayne, remembering the impact he had, but then explain why they don't believe he was ever an option for the Super Bowl halftime performance. Bring on Kendrick! Also, Mukbang watch? Enjoy!
