LIVE AFRICAN CONCERT WITH JACOB NGUNI AND ANDRE MARIE TALLA

Thanks to Mbongue Entertainment, two of Cameroon's Legends hit Atlanta Georgia
with Live performance. Jacob Nguni from the Legend Prince Nico's Rocafil Jazz band was in the team of Artists to Perform in Atlanta. Nguni is best known for his finesse on the guitar, one of Africa's best known guitarists of all times demonstrated his skills in Atlanta Georgia to the thrill of many fans who had not seen him in decades.




Cameroon's Very own Legend, often called Cameroon's Steve Wonder also graced the Atlanta Show. Yes I am talking about Andre Marie Talla the creator of the special dance called 'Bend Si kin'. His first show in Atlanta and it sure was a blast for all those who attended. Andre Marie Talla may be blind but he sure has some compensatory skills that no one would ever imagine. He is a great entertainer, his signature is on the guitar, playing it from the front and back of head, something one has never seen before. It was certainly a night to be remembered.




Thos who made it to the show, despite the late start, enjoyed themselves through the night. Its all thanks to Mbongue Entertainment.

Dream Kweens Movie Premiere

The Movie Dream Kweens, a production of Shrine motion pictures was premiered in Atlanta Ga, just over 2 weeks ago. The grand premiere was a celebration marking the successful production of the movie Dream Kweens. As the Executive producer of Dream Kweens, I was simply full of excitement and appreciation and admiration for the entire team without whom this project would never have been completed. Of course Movie production is a passion of mine which i have harbored for a long time and finally I took the bull by the horn. The experience was not plain sailing, in fact it has been the greatest challenge yet for Lady Kate, but as they say 'determination is the key'. It is a matter of staying focused on the goal. I have worked with some wonderful people in my lifetime but the dream team was even more special. Thanks to all who believed in me and trusting me to lead such a major project. I believe that as Africans we can really tell our own stories to the world and educate people about our experiences so that they may better understand us.

This Blog is created to provide instant updates and for me to Blurb about what is to come and a chance to hear from friends and supporters of The Shrine. I really thank God for Blessing me with the energy to be productive and I hope that I can inspire many in live's journey.

Enjoy the Slide show from the premiere. The movie will soon be in the market. We are working out distribution deals while planning more screenings as we wait. So stay tuned.
