OBAMA ATAJA ORODHA YAKE YA MUZIKI, FILAMU, VITABU KWA MWAKA 2018

 

Kwa mara nyingine tena Rais Mstaafu wa Marekani, Barack Obama ametaja orodha maalumu ya vitabu, filamu na nyimbo ambazo kwa upande wake ameona zimefanya vizuri kwa mwaka 2018.

 

Ameweka orodha hiyo kwenye ukurasa wake wa Facebook na huku akiandika kwamba ni orodha yake ya kawaida anayotoa kila mwisho wa mwaka ambayo inampa muda wa kutulia na kutafakari kwa mwaka mzima kupitia vitabu alivyosoma, filamu na muziki ambavyo vimetokea kumvutia, kushawishi au kuvipenda.

 

Kwa upande wa  vitabu ambavyo vimetoka mwaka huu na amevisoma karibuni ni kikiwemo cha mke wake Michelle Obama, ‘Becoming’ ambacho ni kitabu pendwa kwa Obama kwa mujibu wake.

 

Sio kwa mara ya kwanza Obama kutoa Orodha hii, mwaka 2017 alitoa orodha ya nyimbo bora  zilizofanya vizuri kwa upande wake.
