Remember what I said last week? In the famous words of, well, literally everyone, there is my truth, your truth and the actual truth. I promised that for the next few weeks, this would be our mantra.
Well, it’s another week that comes with a podcast that delivers exactly that. Today’s guest on the podcast edition of #IndustryLoop is Sula Kyababa,
the man behind Ogopa Butterfly. Ogopa Butterfly is a label that has housed and produced some of the biggest moments musically for close to three decades in this country and the continent.
The chat with Sula Kyababa was inspired by a radio conversation Shai_Quan and I had on Fresh FM about the possibility of a Gal Level reunion. It was a four-way conversation between us, as hosts; Sula, the manager of the Oteya brand and Dr Mondo, the manager of the Freeda brand.
Let’s just say there was a lot left unsaid, which prompted the producers of the podcast version of #IndustryLoop and I to offer the platform one at a time to both parties.
So, one half of the truth is officially out today. Remember, there is my truth, your truth and the actual truth. It’s a three-way factor. Visit the New Era Facebook page for the full conversation with Sula about the possibility of a Gal Level reunion and the factors hindering the move.
I will tell you this; whether you like Sula or not, and whether you disagree with his methods or not, one thing’s for sure is that the man is passionate about the Namibian music industry. Being in his presence while he was spitting his truth, I could see how he could’ve been misunderstood.
But again, that’s for you to decide after you consume the podcast. Next week, we will offer the same platform to Dr Mondo, the manager of the Freeda brand. One last thing: there is more to what meets the eye with the Gal Level saga. One way or another, we will get down to the actual truth.
Until the next Loop, we say #GMTM
