Fancy and funny monikers

Forget the conventional wisdom that a great pseudonym is critical for a musician looking for a big break as some ohangla stars call themselves weird stage names, writes CAROLINE NYANGA

It is said that a great stage name fits like a great pair of well-worn jeans offering an opportunity to convey your music and image as well as protect your privacy. But there are many musicians world over whose names does not ring a bell. Perharps following Shakesperean qoute: What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Locally, the weird name bug seems to have caught mostly ohangla musicians whose great music does not match their monikers.
