My Favorite Pancocojams Posts (2013)

Compiled by Azizi Powell

Traditions are important anytime, but are particularly important at the end of the year. In 2012 I started this blog tradition of listing my favorite pancocojams video post for the year. And although there's almost two weeks left in 2013, I feel it's time to share my favorite video posts for this year.

I've compiled this list of my ten favorite pancocojams posts of 2013 to provide an opportunity to share links to some pancocojams posts that you might have missed or that you may want to revisit.

Also, placing these links and videos in one post makes it easier for me to enjoy these posts again.

Amaryoni EPK



LeboMoliki, Uploaded on May 5, 2011

Amaryoni has become one of South Africa's finest Mbube vocal groups. The group's music is strongly influenced by the Is'cathamiya style, but Amaryoni also arrived at their special and unique sound by adding plenty of Township vibes, along with some "Bandit" music, and strong Gospel influences. Amaryoni ("The Lions") have been charming audiences around the country for years, and have grown into a strong, stable and harmonious musical unit.

My Favorite Pancocojams Blog Posts (2011)

Compiled by Azizi Powell

Traditions are important anytime, but are particularly important at the end of the year. And since this Pancocojams blog is one and one half years old, and I didn't start this tradition till now, I've decided to backtrack, and share a hyperlinked list of my favorite Pancocojams blog posts for 2011 along with a featured video from each of those posts.

I'm only featuring five posts for 2011 because the first Pancocojams post was published on 8/29/2011. Only 99 Pancocojam post were published in 2011. For 2012 and subsequent years, I'll share ten of my favorite Pancocojams blog post.

I'm sharing a list of my favorite posts from 2011 as a way of encouraging blog visitors to check out those posts.

Enjoy!

This list of favorite posts isn't the same as a list of posts that are the most popular - have the most visitor views - since Pancocojams has been online (launch date 8/29/2011). In a list of the 10 most viewed posts, nine of those posts were published in 2012. The only post in 2011 which made that list is The Funga Alafia (Fanga) Song - Part 2 (Lyrics), November 11, 2011 http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2011/11/funga-alafia-fanga-song-part-2-lyrics.html. I grouped all of the posts in that three part series together, and those posts did make my "favorite Pancocojams posts" list.

In case you're curious, as of 12/24/2012, the Pancocojams post that has received the most views is "The Right Rhyming Pattern For Shabooya Roll Call Verses" Monday, January 30, 2012 http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/01/right-rhyming-pattern-for-shabooya-roll.html (4992 views).
