We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, CULTURE IS A BROAD TERM and Dialect Magazine recognizes this. With that said, we will NOT only focus on race and ethnicity BUT we will also delve into the culture that has evolved from the DIGITAL AGE…a.k.a CYBERCULTURE.

We have additional nonconventional cultural ideas for you but we’ll leave this to another blog entry.

Look for timely and interesting CYBERCULTURAL pieces in the print/digital editions and on our Dialect Magazine website.

And check out the very first registered domain EVER, http://symbolics.com/. This is when it all started in the mid ’80s. Who knew?

 

Until then…

Hip hop has taken over the world and the last 4 decades (approx.)! We are working on gaining access to global hip hop, from the birthplace of hip hop (1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the West Bronx) and beyond! We are working hard in the hopes of bringing original photography, interviews and more!

Until then, enjoy this rap (below) by a Czech rapper named Gipzy and let this be a symbol of how far hip hop has gone. While you are at it, take a brief moment to visit www.save1520.org and help make 1520 a landmark.

(Nigerian Films) http://dialectmagazine.com/2010/01/03/its-the-lights-action-nollywood-nigerian-films/ http://dialectmagazine.com/2010/01/03/its-the-lights-action-nollywood-nigerian-films/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 03:55:07 +0000 The Editor http://dialectmagazine.com/?p=201 Stay tuned for an interview via THE DIALECT MAGAZINE RADIO SHOW with leaders in the African television programming and film industry.

The Nigerian film industry is #2 in the entire world.

There are thousands of Nigerian films (and hundreds produced each month). When your hear the name ‘Beyonce’, one person comes to mind, however if you’re a fan of Nollywood films your definition might be a little broader.

The following films are popular Nollywood films starring Ghanaian actor, Nadia Buari:

  • Beyonce: The President’s Daughter
  • The Return of Beyonce
  • Beyonce and Rihanna

These Beyonce films and many others continue to gain increasing popularity amongst an eclectic group of people who are new to Nollywood films.

Check back with us for our future radio show on this subject.

DIALECT MAGAZINE is a mirror of the world through the eyes of America. 

AMERICA IS A NATION OF NATIONS…MADE UP OF A VARIETY OF CULTURES AND SO THE NAME OF THE MAGAZINE WAS CHOSEN AS A SYMBOL FOR DEFINABLE GROUPS REGARDLESS OF GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND ETHNIC BACKGROUND.
