Hello friends of the #openmic community, I'm @samuelstifen. Welcome back to all who have participated in this hive open mic event. Hopefully our performance can provide warmth to everyone, including me. and also my audio recording is too noisy because today it was accompanied by heavy rain, and I am very grateful that it rained, because it was a blessing. even though it is too noisy accompanied by rain, I hope my friends enjoy hearing what I present.

theme for the of Hive Open Mic week 231 "afritunes".

This week's theme is quite impressive, because it is themed "Afritunes" which is the name for African culture, that Africa is the second largest continent in the world, the number of countries on the African continent is 54 countries. Countries in Africa are spread across five regions, namely North Africa, West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and South Africa.

and African culture is very interesting because it is very diverse, depending on which country we visit. This continent is inhabited by various populations, most of which are influenced by external factors. Each country has its own tribe, language, and cultural differences. And also many rare animals such as giraffes, zebras, gorillas, hippos, chimpanzees, and wildebeests are unique animals that are only found in Africa and are not found in the wild on any other continent on Earth. Africa has more than 25 percent of the world's bird species.

with all this beauty of Africa, that the life of music from many countries on the African continent, that Musically, Africans are known for their good and quality music ranging from traditional music (tribal) to afro juju, afro beats, gospel music, and other forms of music. and also the quality of their music is very high and also many great musicians are famous from 54 countries on the African continent.

and the opportunity of week 231, I bring a song called right now (na na na) which was popularized by akon.

Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam or better known as Akon is an American R&B singer and rapper of Senegalese descent. He became famous when he sang his main song like "Locked Up" from his first album Trouble. He has had a career in the music world since 1996. In 2009, Akon became famous when he sang his main song like "Right Now (Na Na Na)" from the album Freedom.

he is not just a singer, but he is a very extraordinary songwriter and record producer and also an actor. I am very impressed with him from his career and until he had a very successful career until now and was able to master four jobs in his life. although this is not easy to achieve, hopefully we can achieve our dreams in music and hopefully we can be successful like him.

and the song right now (na na na) tells the story of two people who have broken up but still miss each other. They want to get back together even though they are not in a relationship.

and this song is very often played in my country, the song went viral again after being released a long time ago in 2008. This song is a song that accompanies sadness because it provides a deep meaning to the song and beautiful rnb music. Hopefully my cover version, friends, can enjoy it. Sorry if my recording sounds like very heavy rain, hopefully with conditions like that you can enjoy it.

and maybe that's all I can say about the theme and explanation of the song that I sang this week, and thank you to Openmic and the organizing team of this event. who have taken a lot of free time for this event. This week's event is extraordinary, that we can inspire our work with freedom in this theme. Hopefully this event runs smoothly and continues to be successful. Maybe that's all I can say, I say thank you

LYRICH-RIGHT NOW(NA NA NA)

It's been so long
That I haven't seen your face
I'm tryna be strong
But the strength I have is washing away
It won't be long
Before I get you by my side
And just hold you, tease you, squeeze you
Tell you what's been on my mind

Girl, I know
Mistakes were made between us two
And we showed our ass that night
Even said some things weren't true
Watched you go
And haven't seen my girl since then
Why can't it be the way it was
'Cause you were my homie, lover and friend

I wanna make up right now, na, na
I wanna make up right now, na, na

Watchin' every day that goes by (I miss you much)

Just wish you could dine with me (wish you could dine with me)
The one that'll grind with me (said the one that'll grind with me)
I want you to fly with me (want you to fly)
