POEM  – Chasing melodies in the Namibian sands

Shittaa Mushakwa

In Namibian music, it’s tough to thrive,

The industry’s small and hard to survive.

A place where talent can easily get lost,

And dreams can be shattered at a high cost

Many artists try to make it big,

But only a few get the gigs.

And with the limited resources at hand,

Getting ahead is a challenge to withstand.

Music producers are few and far between,

And radio play is a difficult scene.

It takes a lot of grit to get your sound out,

And patience to rise above the drought.
