Salut Monsieur Esnest,

J’espère que vous vous portez bien. Suis très deçu de ce qui s’est passé au niveau de la commnication entre votre ancien secretariat aussi bien que du nouveau. J’appelle cela du mépris vis à vis un artiste quand personne ne semble vouloir comprendre ses difficultés. On m’a carrément ignoré malgré les dizaine d’appels que j’ai fait. Sans commpté les centaines d’email. Pourtant l’argent que Kora me doit n’est pas grand chose pour une telle organisation alors que pour moi cela vaut beaucoup. Bref…

Sinon je suis trés content que Kora s’est relévé. j’espère que Kora vivra encore longtemps.Bonne chance monsieur Adjovi. Alain Auriant. Ile maurice. Meilleur artiste de l’afique de l’est. Kora 2005. durban.

Mr Kora president , i like your good works and your vision , its clear that you want to explore african artiste to compete and be on the global scene , thats very good Sir and keep up the good works , am particularly interested in the Best african act awards who take the ultimate 1 million dollars , Mr President , this is first of a kind in africa and am sure you are aware that you want to make History , i have read all the categories and all the acts are wonderful , but i think you shouldnt Judge by politics , connections , and personal views you should Judge on lyrics, people votes , the way the artiste can relate with the world and has related with the world so far , someone that explore africa on the world scene , i dont want to be picky here ,but i was in europe when i heard the sound track of the movie phat girls (african queen)was done by a nigerian in person of 2face idibia ,i listen to the song and i enjoyed it ,Mr president i wish you good luck and congratulations Sir,

it’s a fantastic idea that this year’s kora is going to be at a different venue. i hope that this will bring in new ideas. i hope its not just a change of venue with the same all style of doing things. all the best.

Mr. President of Kora Awards
Erneste Ajovi

I love browsing and watching the KORA AWARDS theprograms because I am passionate about them but as the the Kenyan commented on maybe there are things thst were left out For example, you know thet in most instances,we in our countries do not have major facilities andmaybe big halls and stages to host these events. thet maybe is the reason
KORA AWARDS happens only in south Africa just like other things end up happening there
e.g the 2010 world Cup. what I tink should be done about this is that when somebody is
nominated for a kora awardxtop 5 of africa, it is not a bad position, meaning that they also deserve something out.that can not just be the end of it, and at the one person takes all
at least you could help the remaining four, maybethrouhh exposure and maybe somekind of advertising and promoting these artist.
let the awards continue because they also help other organisations in many ways.
as you know, there are some countries with organizatios and companies that are just there meant to help their artists An example from South Africa, their artists are voted for via text messages television now withaut ignoring our other countries where commmodities like cell phones and television is no accessed by mass numbers,but these countr’s citizens are music lovers too. In developed places, when an artist is nominated it is shown every where on TV posters and even radios this is enough to make to make their suporters aware even through thewebsites and internets do you ignore the fact that not a lot of people know about internrt but love music that is why there are things that need to be changed so that Kora Awards gets to to all of us

Thank very muche for coperation
Cyprien Kagorora
