Vote for Bright Phase!
Ernest Kanjo / ••Friday•, 02 •April• 2010 04:14•

Brigh_PhaseMore than ever, Bright Phase needs you votes now! The Cameroonian group who are finalists of the 2008 KORA Awards have smelled victory and would be declared best Arican musicians, if those votes keep coming (text Bright Phase and send to 00248984000 or get to www.koraawards.org).

Bright Phase is among 20 musicians, qualified for the final. Through voting, four contestants are going to be selected for the final . The four will go in for a live stage performance and the one that seduces the jury will automatically crown its author as best African musician.

"That's our target. We're very close to it and are sure to emerge victorious," Sylva Bright, on his way to Burkina Faso where the KORA concert will take place on the night of 4 April told me. Said Sylva during a chat with him in Yaounde. "We've come a long way and are convinced many people love us. That's why we were able to have up to 5000 votes in the last round. All we need is for this same love and confidence to be demonstrated and we are the winners out fans desire."

On it parts, the Cameroonian Ministry of Culture (MINCULT) has encouraged the singers and prayed that they bring back the trophy coverted KORA trophy to Cameroon. MINCULT is sponsoring their flight to the Burkinabe capital, it should be noted.

The winner of KORA Awards 2008 will bag home a prestigious One million US Dolars. The second will have 100.000 US Dollars while the third will be 50 thousand US Dollars richer. The musician that occupies the fourth position will smile with a sum of 25 thousand US Dollars.

It should be noted that KORA is the most prestigious and credible music awards in Africa.
