Ecklas Kawalya is joined by Jane Frances Kiryangokibi aka Hadija Namale on this beautiful 1960s rumba piece.
Ecklas “Sitale” Kawalya was a Ugandan singer, songwriter and actor. He was the main character (“Nyonyitono”) in Byron Kawaddwa’s epic music drama, Amakula ga kulabako. Ecklas started his professional singing career in the late 1950s with Israel Magembe’s Kampala City Six Band. In the early 1960s, he was recruited by the storied Robert Majora into Suzana band, Suzana Nightclub’s resident band. While at Suzana band, he was mentored by Martin Munyenga, a talented multi-instrumentalist, and composer who had just arrived into the country from Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mr. Munyenga, who made Uganda home, is undoubtedly among the most influential forces behind the development of the 1960s/70s dance-band genre. He tutored and mentored many young Ugandan musicians who went on to become household names e.g. Frida Sonko, Hadija Namale etc.
Some of Kawalya’s greatest 1960s hits were sang with Suzana band alumni. He formed a great team singing with some of the leading female musicians of the time. He teamed up with Rose Namere and Yunia Nalwanga on “Omulongo”; Hadija Namale and Mary Nattima feature on “Nsamba.” Mary Nattima joins him on the duets “Rin” and “Fumbira abana.” He enjoyed a close relationship with Hadija Namale. Both Nattima and Hadija saw in Ecklas their role model.
Kawalya would later leave Suzana band, joining his friends Fred Kanyike and Bonnie K. Stephen at Kamulu’s New Life nightclub in Mengo. When Fred Kanyike quit New Life to found the famed but short-lived Rwenzori International in the 1970s, Kawalya was part of the new band’s star-studded line-up. Kawalya had a long career, leaving behind a great body of work with brilliant lyrics and skillful instrumentation, which continues to entertain fans worldwide.
Fan facts about Ecklas Kawalya:
- He was a son of a chief.
- In the 1950s he owned a Vespa scooter, a rarity back then.
- Ecklas was greatly admired by his peers and was often consulted to resolve music-fraternity disputes.
- Two of Kawalya’s daughters are professional musicians. Joanita Kawalya currently sings with Afrigo, Uganda’s powerhouse musical group. Her older sister, Margaret Kawalya, was one of the 2 female vocalists who sang with Afrigo in the early to mid-1980s. The other female vocalist at the time being Harriet Mpagi.
- Elly Wamala, another Ugandan music legend, sang about Ecklas’ child in “Akaana ka Kawalya”. The song was composed and produced by the legendary Edmund Hannington Batte who worked with Paul Kerssemakers on the Philips and latterly the Serenade label.

When people outside of LA think of Angelinos, they assume we are used to seeing celebrities & their cars. They assume that while I’m stuck on PCH, I’m waving at Jennifer Anniston in her 911 Turbo and shortly after, high fiving Jay Leno as he passes me in a Ariel Atom. The truth is, in these parts, a simple rule applies: the more conspicuous the car, the less known the driver. If a guy drives a bright orange Lambo, he’s probably somebody’s accountant. But if he drives a vaguely new F-150 without a ladder or an NRA sticker, he’s probably an A-list actor. Real celebrities drive cars that blend in. And for good reason, here are a few:
1) The paparazzi are real. They’re real a-holes. If you doubt this, Google ‘Lady Diana Paris’.
2) LA is full of tourists that’ll do anything for an autograph (someone once mistook me for Ellen DeGenerous, another time Uma Thurman– they both got my useless signature. Sorry suckers, but thanks for the beer!)
3) Jerks like me will spot the celebrities in their fancy cars and proceed slap that sh*t on social media quicker than you can say ‘opportunist’.
Enter Jared Leto and his completely kick ass Ford Bronco:
(my friend & I spotted this in Malibu, she took the beautiful shot before either of us knew who owned it)
Now, first of all, if you don’t know who Jared Leto is, that’s cool. Here’s a link to his site. He’s an actor/musician/heart throb who played the lovable skinny junkie in drag in Dallas Buyer’s Club & was one of the stars of My So Called Life (which I never watched so I can’t help you with that one). But he’s famous, believe me. Certainly famous enough to be driving a silver Prius with all of the other Hollywood scaredy cats. But he’s not. He’s going balls out with the top down in this attention getting American masterpiece.
Next, you need to understand that the Ford Bronco within itself is killer (all OJ puns intended). For further evidence please see my Dude, Or Douchebag: Bronco Edition here. But for an Academy Award winning hottie to rock an open aired Bronco in royal blue with Matchbox flames, you know he’s got a serious case of the I-Don’t-Give-A-Flying-Carpets. Here’s a closer look:
This is the kind of Hollywood spending that I can completely get behind. I mean, who wants to be rich & famous is you have to drive a hybrid golf cart? Who wants to have the money in the world if you have to hide behind the wheel, that doesn’t seem worth it to me. This guy does plenty of good stuff for the world (see his charity crap here), and his talents are pretty well documented, but as far as I’m concerned, his real contribution to society has four wheels & plenty of flames– you go, Jared Leto!


Dennis Hopper: Photographs from 1961 to 1967
Icon of the counter-culture, Dennis Hopper has already become a living legend, known worldwide for his work as an actor and a director and as a media personality. But, in earlier years, his creativity and singular vision led him to experiment intensively with other media as well. Here are his most striking photographs from the 1960s, images that show his unique hallucinatory vision of the world. Taken during the years between 1961 and 1967, these compelling photographs capture artist friends in dramatic, sometimes unsettling, portraits, brief acquaintances candidly posed, views of urban life, and documentary scenes that predate his later work.

Britain’s Got Talent 2011 kicked off on April the 16th 2011 and overall the first episode was a let down. Hopefully the show will pick up as things progress. There are two changes to the judges this year with Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan being replaced with comedian Michael McIntyre and the legend that is David Hasselhoff. I was sorry to see Simon go, he’s one of the main reasons I watch the show. I have no idea why Piers was on the show to begin with so he’s no loss. As for the new judges, The Hoff is bananas but often good TV and I’m undecided on Michael McIntyre. When I’ve forced myself to watch him he’s funny but there in lies the problem. I have to force myself to watch as there’s just something thoroughly unlikeable about the man. Maybe it’s his hair? Anyway, the Hoff endeared himself to the British public by wearing a Union Jack Coat and apparently some of Amanda Holden’s scenes were reshot to edit out her pregnancy (which she sadly lost) out of the show. I’m not sure if that’s true or not. She looked the part anyway in different dresses and hair styles. Both the white and blue dresses looked stunning.
Mary Sumah-Key kicked off the Liverpool auditions and claimed to be a Royal enthusiast. This was backed up with shots of her reading a book about the Queen Mother. Thanks ITV for spelling it out for us. She seemed like a character and quickly confused Amanda Holden for Joanna Lumley which Michael played along with. Perhaps it was because of her Dallas style hairdo? Mary Sumah-Key did a silly little dance while playing the harmonica. She didn’t get through.
John Courtney came on stage dressed as an Indian/Native American and tried a few rope tricks. Three unhappy judges.
Chunky Christine Fraser came out in her housecoat and claimed to be a comedienne which was evident from her jokes. ITV tried to make the impact of her bad joke look worse that it was with some seriously dodgy editing.
I won’t waste much time on Peter Wakefield. He warbled through a rendition of Yellow Submarine which got the crowd going (it was in Liverpool after all) but didn’t impress the judges.
Off to Birmingham next and David Knight came out in a poorly fitting suit to tell a few jokes. I’ll give the guy a break, he was only 9. He had some good banter with Michael before going into his routine which was a bit too rehearsed but he got through so I’ll look forward to his next audition.
The first of the dreaded dance troupes, Joker came out dressed as…the Joker and did an average dance routine that no one liked.
Steve Stevens (superb name) seemed quite intelligent but then his act was singing I kissed a goat and liked it to the tune of Katy Perry’s mega hit. He held open a bit cardboard love heart with a goats face in the middle.
John Hampson was one of the strangest auditions of this episode. He came out painted in gold and sang Spandau Ballet’s Gold. He wasn’t that bad but when Michael buzzed him off, he stood up and stomped off the stage in a strop. John Hampson ignored Ant and Dec’s requests for an interview and disappeared.
Donelda Guy followed that with a dog routine using her pets Mega and Biba (or was it Bieber?). It was quite impressive and she got through. She claimed that she can’t train her husband this well and he’s her only failure.
Bruce Sistaz were two sisters who do martial arts. I wonder how they came up with the name? They did some chops and kicks which looked like a dance routine and got through.
Dance troupe montage. I hate it. Thankfully ITV didn’t dwell on it but naturally 90% of them get through.
Marawa wore a leopard skin leotard and did some tricks with hula hoops. Boring but she got through.
Then about 10 million kids came on stage for Freeman Dance, did their routine and got through to the next round.
Blair Christie might just be the worst act I have ever seen on BGT. He seemed like a bright guy, works as a financial analyst so I can only assume this whole thing was a joke. He talked up his talent at the start and then came out on stage painted in blue. He then stuck a balloon to his head and held up cardboard waves next to head while making screeching noises. While the audience and judges waited for the act to start, he stared out of them and said “That’s it, I’m a dolphin”. Three buzzers went off.
UFO were terrible and not out of this world.
Bums did some Morris dancing and didn’t get through.
Tongue and Cheek were a boy and girl dance act. The guy was clearly gay and so Michael asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend. That seemed to be the act anyway. Jump around the stage acting really camp. It was awful.
Steven Hall got through but I fear he’s a one trick pony. He came across as really stuffy and dull wearing his suit and tie. Then he started doing some crazy dances to mixed music such as Michael Jackson and Britney Spears. He got through.
We moved on to Cardiff with Antonio ‘Popeye’ Francis who’s routine was to make his eyes pop out to music. I’m not kidding that was it. He also looked a bit like the fat cop from Die Hard.
Nu Era were three kids kind of shouting/rapping/singing hell I don’t know. They got through.
Goldstar Galaxy were yet another dance troupe cheerleader thingy and they got through but not before the Hoff made his first Knight Rider reference.
MKB – dance troupe with a cute kid called Luigi at the front. They also got through, what a surprise.
Michael Collings was up next and he had a lengthy back story basically to show us he was a bit trashy (thanks ITV). He lives in a caravan with his parents, got his girlfriend pregnant by mistake and proposed to her in an all you can eat China buffet. He came out in an orange hoodie and sweatpants which prompted Amanda to say he looked like he was going on a long haul flight. Incidentally, it would be better if the camera man could refrain from a close up of Amanda’s lips they’re starting to look a bit ragged from all the injections. Anyway back to Michael Collings, he sang a song and played the guitar and was excellent. Easily one of the best of the day and got through.
The show finished on a hand bell couple who weren’t nearly as interesting as Michael Collings but they got through anyway. Gay and Allan are married and played hand bells along to the theme from Titanic which got the crowd singing along. I hope next week’s show is a little better.

Emma rock and Andrew Garfield began dating following the two starred into the movie, The Amazing Spider-Man. These people were just together from 2011 to 2015 but, during that right time, the 2 didnвЂ™t talk about their relationship much at all.

Today Gossip Cop has gathered some stories weвЂ™ve corrected about Stone and Garfield and where they stand.
Emma Rock Attempted To Break-Up Andrew Garfield And Susie Abromeit?
Couple of years ago, lifestyle & Style stated Emma rock had been attempting to break-up Andrew Garfield and Susie Abromeit. a so-called insider advertised rock had been вЂњunhappyвЂќ that Garfield managed to move on because of the Jessica Jones celebrity but additionally purported Garfield “wanted to have right right back along with rock.” But, the source that is unnamed, вЂњEmma kept doing offers” and Garfield “got sick and tired of waiting around for their previous gf.” Gossip Cop, but, examined with a friend that is mutual of and StoneвЂ™s to obtain clarification from the tale and had been guaranteed the tale ended up being totally false.
Emma Was Not Thrilled About Rita Ora Either? Or Was Emma Attempting To “Keep An Eye Out” For Andrew?
Months later on, the mag, NW, purported rock ended up beingnвЂ™t pleased about Garfield dating the singer, Rita Ora. During the time, reports had been growing about Garfield and Ora dating each other and a expected supply told the book Ora let slide to pals about her brewing romance utilizing the actor. After that, the socket additionally contended Stone had beennвЂ™t taking the news very well because she hoped to вЂњreuniteвЂќ with Garfield. “the notion of Rita getting her claws into Andrew ended up being so very hard for Emma to just take. She never ever thought Andrew could be with someone therefore opposite of her – it really is caught her off guard,вЂќ added an insider that is dubious. Gossip Cop discovered that there clearly was no truth into the tale therefore we had currently corrected the narrative that rock wished to together get back with Garfield.
Times later on, in contact maintained Emma rock “warned” Andrew Garfield to remain far from Rita Ora. The mag advertised the Easy the star was вЂњshockedвЂќ but the headlines of Garfield dating Ora and “reached away to AndrewвЂќ to offer him some вЂњfriendly advice.вЂќ an expected tipster advertised rock had вЂњnothing againstвЂќ the singer but had been skeptical of her due to the superstars Ora ended up being associated with in the past. First, the tabloids alleged Stone wanted Garfield back but then this report asserted rock ended up being just вЂњlooking outвЂќ for Garfield. Nevertheless, Gossip Cop spoke to a source near the actress whom told us the whole tale ended up being fabricated.

Henry Cavill Enters The Race To Function As Upcoming James Bond
Henry Cavill has recently played the worldвЂ™s best detective therefore the worldвЂ™s strongest superhero. exactly exactly What role could he overcome next? If Cavill has any say, it will be the one and only iconic super-spy James Bond.
In an interview that is recent GQ, Henry Cavill reminisced about their very very early auditions when it comes to part of James Bond. Evidently, Cavill came near to acquiring the part but absolutely nothing ever solidified. Now, Cavill continues to be thinking about the right component and stated which he вЂњwould definitely leap during the possibility.вЂќ
It isn’t difficult to visualize Henry Cavill whilst the strapping and lethal 007, specially after their enjoyable act as August Walker in Mission: Impossible вЂ“ Fallout. Cavill really delivered to life another Ian Fleming character as he played the right section of Napoleon Solo within the 2015 function movie, the person from U.N.C.L.E. It could be deeply poetic to see him move to the programs of FlemingвЂ™s other popular spy character. Also Cavill did a great task as Solo for the reason that movie. There is certainly almost no question which he could be just as exemplary as James Bond.
Hearing that Henry Cavill has tossed their cap in to relax and play James Bond just isn’t astonishing.
The speculation around the franchiseвЂ™s future is at a fever pitch with no Time to Die signaling the end of Daniel CraigвЂ™s tenure as the legendary secret agent. Obviously, the biggest concern is because of casting the following James Bond. You almost certainly will hear responses that are similar other noteworthy actors which may have an attempt during the part. ItвЂ™s a safe bet they all would you like to keep working and a gig like James Bond feels like a pretty hefty payday.
We now have heard other reports that Tom Hardy may have an advantage over Henry Cavill with regards to landing the part of James Bond within the next installment. Another top contender for the part happens to be Idris Elba, with numerous fans petitioning for him to function as the very very first individual of color to try out the part of James Bond. And there are numerous other notable thespians who could have a go at playing the iconic character.
That would function as better James Bond? Is the fact that something contemporary audiences would be thinking about seeing?
With this writerвЂ™s cash, Henry Cavill may seem like a very solid and likable option for the part, but which also makes him type of a bland one also. Area of the explanation Daniel CraigвЂ™s casting ended up being therefore brilliant in Casino Royale had been which he felt such as for instance a James Bond we had yet to actually see flourish in the silver screen. His gruff and demeanor that is rugged in completely with all the more grounded reboot regarding the franchise. Whoever is cast as James Bond after Craig has got to symbolize exactly exactly what the franchise will seem like moving forward.
If Henry Cavill had been cast as James Bond, it could seem to place down an atmosphere of time for an even more classic mode of Bond movie. Or do they require you to definitely carry from the more down-to-earth vibe that the Daniel Craig films established? If we understand one thing for certain, we shall make sure to help keep you updated.

At any time since Salman and Katrina have joined palms for Ali Abbas Zafar’s film, the duo has been teasing enthusiasts with their photographs alongside one another and their amusing conversations on social networking.
It was only after Priyanka’s distasteful opinions on Lopamudra Raut’s character and Manu Punjabi’s deceased mother, that check here Salman couldn't acquire it any longer and requested her to go away the present. Not only this, he even requested the channel Shades that if she will ever appear on any present of colours, he will likely not host Bigg Manager.
It appears, Salman by itself has taken the cost for half the gun struggle we're to witness this December


Sometimes it takes me a little while to piece things together. A few months ago I attended a presentation of jazz film clips. One of them was Jammin’ the Bluesfeaturing an all star list of musicians such as Sid Catlett, Jo Jones, Lester Young, Illinois Jacquet and a host of others. I hadn’t seen the whole thing in such a long time that it wasn’t until that night that I realized that I knew who the vocalist and dancer was.
This was the same reaction I had when I was doing research for my Four Step Brothers post a few months ago. I spotted this same woman in a clip with the aforementioned group dancing along with Harold Nicholas in this scene from the film Carolina Blues.
The female dancer in a black dress pairing off with the legendary Harold Nicholas at 5:15 is Marie Bryant.

This was one too many coincidences, so I decided to do a little research. I was rewarded with a very interesting portrait of a lesser known jazz dancer that I thought I'd share with you.
Marie Bryant was born in 1919 in Meridian, Mississippi. Somehow she made it up to Chicago to make her professional debut with Louis Armstrong at the age of 15. She performed with Lionel Hampton in Los Angeles a year later, and eventually she ended up in New York City where she danced at the famed Cotton Club.
There she met Duke Ellington who once referred to her as “one of the world’s greatest dancers.” After touring with the band as a dancer for three years she landed a role in Ellington’s first full length stage musical entitled Jump For Joy. She eventually went on to sing and dance in an Ellington film short featuring “Bli-Blip,” one of the songs that she performed in that show.
After that experience with the Duke, she landed small roles in several films and also taught dance for movie studios and at various schools including Katherine Dunham’s Dance School where she met and eventually became best friends with Lena Horne. Over the years her students included Marlon Brando, Debbie Reynolds, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Vera-Ellen, Cyd Charisse, Ava Garfener, and Mitzi Gaynor. She also worked with Fred Astaire’s choreographer, Hermes Pan and served as an assistant to Jack Cole. Once, when she was asked what she did for Jack Cole she replied, “I teach Betty Grable to shake her buns.”
After asking her to work with Vera-Ellen on something, Gene Kelly called her “one of the finest dancers I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“I’ve built a dancing style of my own that can best be described as ‘controlled release.’ This consists in finding the natural line in each body and the favorite ways it likes to move about—then controlling these movements.” – Marie Bryant
After the club where she was headlining closed in 1948, she began teaching chorus lines at a burlesque house and then eventually took the stage performing strip teases. In an interview with Ebony in 1950 she said that she wanted “to make the strip more of a dance and less of a come-on, to give the stripper more art and more dignity.”
She eventually moved on to Europe in the early in 1950’s where she appeared in a show called “High Spirits” in London.
It is at this time when she recorded the bulk of her singing catalog. Interestingly enough, she sang mostly calypso music. Despite her association with some of the best in jazz, she only recorded six swing songs, four of which were with The Mike McKenzie Quartet in London.
She had a wonderfully easy going style that’s reminiscent of Billie Holiday which you can hear for yourself in the few recordings that she did. You can find and download them all on the Amazon dot coms. It’s all good stuff, and I’ve been dj'ing her version of “Beale Street Blues” quite a bit recently.
After Marie's stay in London, she toured with various shows around Europe and Southeast Asia. During this time she married the manager of one of those shows, John A.Rajakumar, and honeymooned across India. However, he fell ill and passed away in 1965.
She was back in the states by the 1970’s, splitting her time between Hollywood and Los Vegas and running her own dance studio, the Marie Bryant Dance Studios. She died of cancer in 1978 at the of age 59 leaving a daughter and three grandchildren.
