it's been very well of what c o p and you're prepared for a breach of the both of them. andre was a box. the song, there's only really different for me when i do so new to new might. would you move the you for a new the about lyrics you're using the nation i was with was these would be um oh boy. oh boy you're you're oh, i do go watch it big. yeah, i'm glad i'm with my friends. the are good. yeah. well, the reason why we do it is a little move us it to me either awful or you can go after being very used to be a piano. yes, a fee that she said it was off like 2 hours. yeah. but we need to

pull up a temporary or not your friend just say to deliver a temporary get. so when you say i'm a pre owned one last, i kind of maybe agree with you because it will continue to fall into something even bigger. let me tell you that much in march you said the crowd is at the i for a beach. i can not hate on it. i love it. it's amazing. all the options that have been, you know, have been kidding it. but if you're asked to choose one, it's not a choice. the i won't be on the well, they are kidding you. that side. they are kidding. okay. yeah. and i, i'm sure she, i agree with, you know, i'm actually a part of the upper base. oh good, that's what i grew up, my siblings, my family, everything of movies. mm. i like the i know but my, my heart for lunch stuff for me. i listened to both. what for different types of settings. i like listening to. i'm a piano when i have to really focus because of the be a really does get you that. yeah. but i am caribbean the so there's

a closer connection to the offer. okay. and i do right here. thing can you can give him what's your opinion? here's the thing with a everybody's here compared to just been julian, african music is taking over the world. i mean, it's making with, it's not just africans yet. i've spoken to americans, i've spoken to jamaicans. this is the affirmation, what have you got say about that? do you think we are? oh, but a king is africans like in the world of music, powers are those to be? i think the thing where light is burns fit and he has video of a time. but we are definitely overtaken the water and you from the caribbean. we are overtaking the roads for an interest in iceland. ok, we're listen to room on the radio in iceland, out of all the places in the world. eric eric iceland. hm. they're basically, you know, black people there, but we still got that for you. okay. yeah. and you see the crowd is all different races all the ages. yeah. come on. we are the why do you

think african music as reason? the past? i think more than anything like she said, it's a community latasha story when you're traveling and you have someone from john or you like, oh my god, no sided, you know? yeah. you know, people, i think more than anything in the crowd i was hearing language is the, i don't know what they say, but the more than anything of the community, it tells the story in the applicant, we haven't had the upbringing. so yeah, you connect says every people and i think the lovely. yeah, i think for me the key thing is we finally gave the confidence to get into the space. i've been for a long time on these across the day. and then it's events like every nation that is sort of the fact that no penetrates international markets do the most indeed the confidence. yeah. at the beginning of the nation. i mean this is happening in europe. right. and we're talking of africa,

african music. do you think this could also rock or, i mean go big enough. you guys it's to happen in one of the african countries. oh, definitely. i think for sure. i definitely think they're big, biggest called would be better. yeah. we should look more into penetrate to the hackers and welcome to try different african countries. you know, mean lots of freebies. there's so many kinds of things that i must be. i know live. you're a big boy lived in the yes. and the odds is more than anything else. yeah. you bought effort in august. yeah. but do you think we should also do something in africa? for sure. yeah, yep. go for them to see how true true. new ctbc. yeah. are you? um, if our phone is in uh we do not see it for sure. now do you have you spoke of a upcoming uh 2. so i mean that type some have not even made it to these big stages in all. what do you think should be done to ensure that it least we embrace and

actually look for all the tell him that is he didn't even africa. i think i agree with with you guys are saying that we should have one festival in progress. well mm hm. where says this only like this one and i think one in america. yeah. yeah. and there's not a lot of are just 2nd go to goes to. so we have more maybe more small than upcoming artist. uh, have a chance to go on stage and showcase what they've got. okay, there you have it's 77 percent as interpreting it up for the i'll probably use the to the well, there is no competition that it's all about african vibes in african using say to you guys have some of the, at least the participants in that debate. could agree, but both genres of great to listen to regardless because that's what matters right now. if you i love of the explanation festival, you in agree, but every autos comes with it a game. and so does our next guest,

a lot of people are even using. i'm not sure which one i'm a piano or a probiotic. oh, do you usually part for the posse as we've been trying to get the big mind himself? learn a boy? it's becoming almost impossible to get just this one act. i'm here to, we're going to try wilkins right? that is the heat space. so come around with us, let's see how he goes. we're just gonna try and see if this is really going to be possible or not. we're still trying to get him. hopefully we do the, i think it's the, it's a long search. have you seen burnable? no, no, do you? i don't think you can even see. yes of course. yeah. we were to for the effort in time. yeah, i'm so excited and i lost him so much bernabei we have you are the one to
