10:38 pm
thoughts. and really my hopes of my dreams. so the port cost is always the a vehicle i use to communicate some of these ideas to as many people as possible. there's some movie as well. i know is as analogies as a create to that they are going to be milestone moments in your career. and then by, that's what people discovery you. if you could name one or 2 way you. so that was, that was a milestone way more people knew about like local. that was a break. felicia, me. what would some of those milestones be for you george? well a few years ago i wrote a poem for the royal wedding between um making a mock. ready and prentice, i read a lot of people turned on to me from that moment um a few years before that, i opened the rugby world cup in 2015 with my own poem. people might know
10:39 pm
me from that up in the face of a few global ad campaigns, because i write poems and collaborations with brands. and um, you know, fortunately many of those problems get broad costs across the world. so there's been a few moments, i guess there's some comments here on youtube. i, i really love to say if it was like your, you've got a big family of finds out that we've got gabrielle. hi joel, shut out from dining m u k. born and raised in uganda, very proud of you. i want to play here eclipse from black kilo right before we do that. explain what these new short film is about and the significance of the day. okay, well black killer ripples released on the 14 from january 2021 just a month ago now. and that's the data i'd send. fuzzy is most of the day of the you
10:40 pm
got them presidential elections this year. and both of these are the big moments that were on my mind for obvious reasons. and they just the moment gave me a time over selection. that co incidence allowed me to reflect on 10 years of doors, the power and also what um the, the presidential race between the incumbent president was 70 and the opposition leader will be why? well, that taught me what that reinforced for me about politics and the role of art in creating change was done, stands out to me and what stood out for me was how you talked about leadership in uganda in a very memorable way. to listen. let's have a look at the effects and have you gotten in society whose reaction is angry and violent to cost? i'm being silent,
10:41 pm
but then there's another suspect to see what does it take to govern effectively? one schools always say the rules, but no, you can't. and still i that give them what the country is going full before travel persecution, of bruce and more well 70 came to power in the eighty's and as of 201880 percent of you gotten into under the e file. you heard me right. you 5, they've never experienced another leader and whoever that could be called back to the prove they've got the requisite experience to govern eva. in fact, the other thing was so many gave a speech and the way you addressed the country was particularly candid, possible to really grandkids bear in mind, bobby williams, but you 6, he hasn't really had to in popular use of pop. i've gotten the machine or using a tricks he's self made and he's well paid. so many jo. kids tested him in the mix . these times come the next election was $7076.00. but there was something grand
10:42 pm
deadlock about him. that's why so many con, imagine that without, if he represents the familiar to georgia, i'm going to go straight to some questions as thoughts from youtube for you. this is timothy, as you can and the adage, black yellow, red seems not to resonate with a mass s given the current state in uganda. it is sickening having to wake up the tool with ties in headlines was in on, across the gun to george thoughts is i'm sick and it is disturbing across the task for as well, which is why so the, through my platform um i can provide space for all who are interested in the future, have you gone to, to reflect them to take stock of both sides of the argument and what the opportunities for us, my little clack moving forward and look, and move and looking beyond politics. frankly,
10:43 pm
what was your experience and this is for me to begin shooting the visuals in uganda song for shutting uganda. someone not explain the filming process. great question. so. ready we actually did um, so i'm quite low and you're going to that was my 2nd time. so let me get you gone to the 1st time was a few years before i created that music video with the direct to isaac over and then produce a cameo to continue a very talented people. that was great. but this time, this was with a direct include medi lobby, which is the british nigerian, he does like for the big eye for these videos, music videos. but he's also a friend of mine and a bias for us to have my interest in creating material. ready like this, that wasn't just a song, but it was also based on the coincidence. i said to him,
10:44 pm
as soon as i wrote the pieces of black kilo read, they ended up in the film. i said to him, we're going to go out to you down the and we're just gonna do whatever we can when we get there. and that's what we did. fortunately, we were well taken care of in the community of come with uh, what we did most of the show me as i saw it is excellent and the rest of the team. but yeah, people are very supportive, corporate, too excited. and it was a great experience there, couple of big issues that you pay comp on. and you introducing in the before the sale of black yellow raft. i would have listened to the scene a she's in us. she's based in uganda and respond to her thoughts. the the new, the single say add ons as the, you know, she, she does, she's never going to really change. ringback
10:45 pm
most tim from the street from the from this year the make so i recognize the, the link between the decisions and the habits. and. ready track record of this regime on the lack of progress in some areas of public concern, whether that's health care, infrastructure, etc. well, i also recognize that i really want to be respectful here because i'm not on the african coincidence, but i recognize some parsons, i read. i recognize consistencies with the gun and political situation and this the situation across many countries in, in africa. now when i see these problems, when i see the latest thing and paul for longer than the people expected longer
10:46 pm
than they said they would in the 1st place. but i see them changing the constitution to a lot of stop. and what i see young people becoming increasingly frustrated and even becoming divided because there are people that do support this regime when i see these patents. why? why? um, why take from these plans? is that to africa needs to needs a way of rethinking change, re thinking social change, re thinking development. we as young africans who often find ourselves at odds with all the leaders and older regimes. who always talk to us about how things work before they. ringback impala and how they all maintain stability and the not in the economy to expand. we need to figure out how we're not gonna get logged into fruitless arguments with these regimes. and i think we do that already. we might
10:47 pm
not realize we might not recognize it in the way that i'm describing, bought through uh through our film, to music, through our culture, which plugs us into audiences across the world and creates commercial opportunities as well as broad costing our experiences between the home, the mobile line on the dash bro, through our culture we have created the biggest opportunity for change that we can imagine. and if we really and vicious about the opportunity we can achieve a lot of what we hope part of the politics will take care of c o u, a cautiousness in your voice. and this is the cautiousness of being in the, the ask for. and i can hear people say, well, you knowing in you get how, how would you even know? and then you had an early education, so it's okay so you can speak about it. i don't, i, i, i know that the of those criticisms that come back to may be blank sheet. how
10:48 pm
did you respond to that isn't i think it's important to respect these criticisms because even though i might not want to hear them, there's validity in them. and i think what the criticisms indicate is that it cannot be up to one person, one of the, for us to one of the frustrating things about our let through the system. and about politics in general is that it becomes so focused on personalities. so many of us load all the hopes inside them was $74.00, but we want to wear, in reality, there is a system. i play this when i talk about pounds across the continent. the systems that we just need to be scientific about. we need to be objective about the systems . so if i'm saying that i see similarities in the direction that you've gotten in politics with the, the way that i don't want to draw
10:49 pm
a direct comparisons with any particular country. but if i'm saying i see some similarities well, well i have the opportunity to do is try and figure out where i sit in those problems. and from a task for perspective, the solution of the response that i will offer is that i am at least an audience at least, and enjoy a few guns and culture. at least a young person who participates in uganda from overseas. and in the you have an opportunity, i guess what, i'm the only one. there are many, many young uganda is an old event as across the diaspora who are passionate about the country's future. who wants to make the best contribution they can otherwise they will just not be engaging with the future africa. well, um commit one of the tenants and their resources. so whatever country that they sense with it. so what i'm saying to anyone who feels that i alone can speak for
10:50 pm
the future if you're gone to i'm saying the i'm here for you. so you support to me, what can we work on? what can we develop on the 1st of the 1st honestly, i could think of is the sharing the broad costing the recording, the promotion of our culture. that's what we do in the us here and youtube pop by. and so i've says what influence has feel free wind has on you george, in the soon black killer. right. you all pretty cool. well the wine can you point out that popularity doesn't mean that you're good at company? yeah, popularity alone is not the same as being good, a governor and i have had to recognize that you know, we don't, we haven't necessarily had evidence but he hasn't had the opportunity to show where he could do as a head of state. however, in terms of how everyone has influenced me,
10:51 pm
he is reminded me of the importance of speaking truth to power. but we, why has been someone who is stood by his police and he has stood by his criticisms, you know, many of them very valid criticisms of the way things are before. but the way that role, there was no one from an in college and a ration who we knew who we necessarily identified with know almost ready to in the way the way to stop. so that really pushed me to start thinking, i think my feelings about your kindness future, hopefully to motivate other people in the diaspora who my also wants to start developing the opinion. and the contribution to uganda. she finds, is a student case based in uganda. he has a question for you. how can we include everyone in this cause for social estimate
10:52 pm
and then the us to math from a leadership standpoint. once we are the latest, we started this race and included everyone once we get to that point, how do we ensure that we do not confuse long term progress for no progress when we insure the change is progressive and that we keep an open mind and that we are willing to pass the bus and on to the next man. savannah, is this a great question? and in the question of so many things that we need to ask individuals, we need to continue to apply on energy to thinking about these programs. so one of the things that you've identified as the, you know, when we do see change and when times move on, how we're going to ensure that we have a system of understanding each other and share in panama and responsibility. and the answer is there is no single answer on an individual level. every uganda,
10:53 pm
this is what i said a bit at the end of my phone, black kilo read, you've got this future is not just in politics alone. it isn't the destiny of every uganda. so as individuals, we need to 1st of all accept our social responsibility. okay. unfortunately, or fortunately, we don't have sexual powell. we don't have central authority as young your guns. there is no us across the dice pro. and for many people who do not identify with the current leadership, we do not relate to the current leadership. we don't have a single way of communicating. we don't have a single agenda of priorities that we're going to work through. however, we will have a shared passion for you, then as future. so what that means is that you as an individual shipment, you need to start thinking to yourself, what can i do for my country? where do my skills lie?
10:54 pm
where, what opportunities do i have to connect with people overseas overseas? you kind of lab george and everyone else that he represents. how can i offer my services, my skills, my know, my knowledge to these people. ready in a way that we can build anything, any opportunity, any commercial arrangement, any trade between us, that we can control. that's the big project for our generation to them i'm looking to do to to is also committed to lots of thoughts and lots of sites for you. what, what to do, says that i love george, i to let you in since school i took some big decisions in my life, based on his id is one of the big powerful ideas that were next with, with black, yellow, red is the impact on the effectiveness of music as a source for change. how, how does this and everybody, you know,
10:55 pm
maybe not with politics but music even most of the knows the power of music. busy busy busy busy busy busy come on these, these agree we're making a sprinkler, it's given us so many ways of making a drink. we got, did you send it? and we will start producing it. just honestly, it's because it's going over the world on us all over the world is the most common and very rich. and that's giving us a lot of leverage of privilege. a lot of hiring all of this comes from the streets here. we still can say about do isn't someone's from the streets. we've got a famous fight, as will can with guns on the streets and food still runs the alternate funds in the streets. we want our music to be all save you from all it is self destructive behavior. but it's just a sound chart to us really happening to the issues that we're not really talking to in georgia. and i read or chatting about this i, it was really of us,
10:56 pm
he wanted to be able to help is like, how do i help people? and what are the ways that he is doing this with he's all with these work is he's taking a ph. d, and the solely give our ph. d, this toby at the subject, right? he's, he's like a piece is going to help you guidance. this is going to help the african diaspora. george, can you, can you make the connections between what you think you'll ph d and how you feel you can help the asking to ask for and young people around the world who are struggling with how can i help the wrong country just trying to thank you for asking about this for me. well, ultimately, what i'm trying to understand with my research is how young black people for 100 years, from all corners of the world to come up with their own ways of making music. but i have gone on to be really commercially successful without changing
10:57 pm
the prospects of the communities that they come from. i don't see how it is possible. i don't see how we can have, you know, young black people and not just you've done that as black people for as long as we've had access to recording equipment. that's been jazz. there's been rock'n'roll . desmond, barnes, b, there's been reggae. that's been hip hop desmond funk. so disco, grime, african music now we have afro beats now docile, reggae. all of these things came from young, black people in very similar situations to what i grew up in. and so what many young uganda is on currently growing up in? so real innovation came from the music and real change came from the music and real money was made from that music. now, uganda is one of those countries that has
10:58 pm
a music scene that is more prominent than other countries with a big population on the clinton. right? so there's only one issue and it's either just, it's been a pleasure talking to you and showing you without the chief audience and out it's around the available multiple platforms. one more thing i have to have looked at my laptop, everybody. black, yellow, right, is currently available for you to watch on youtube. you can also, as well as george depended on twitter. and of course have you had to just pull cost . if you haven't, you can do it where you find, oh good. gosh george the time. thanks for joining us. the,
10:59 pm
[000:00:00;00] the, we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get to places that others can know as far as instead of going on. the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. freezing wins and rugged terrain and at times seem impossible. but for ask on traders,
