5:36 pm
what you didn't didn't even match up well, the ideas came from rap music in the 1st place. we had the good fortune of being able to record our selves with home technology for the 1st time when i started out as a raffle. so that was my introduction into what i'm doing now. one of the things a piece of what they even come very well known for is a pull cost and a you'll talk cause has been hugely successful. you go to watch for it. and there was a neighbor where you won't be to celebrate on the out of us. you have to pull costs . well, the pull cost at cheapest, and to do, let's have a listen. see that click when it comes to this beautiful overlooked for them and times community skin. and they came out with 27 years of experience. some of our stories come up in the papers about history,
5:37 pm
happy going to stay dependent single mom. i remember every single 1st on the front wheel. so why is it that we as a community have no control over on our main story to there's a reference for the rep. as of today are facing the same struggles in w way to the round. the time i want to house schools. crime, unemployment is not we now provide dispute for a multi $1000000000.00 store, re send an industry. so we have to show for as new versions of the same story. have you had georges polk costs as to address these things? and so he was smiling. why we use money, do you listening to yourself? cause is there any 1st of all fairly below the things i'll say um on my end the most thoughts and really my hopes and my dreams. so the port costs as low as the
5:38 pm
a vehicle. i used to communicate some of these ideas to as many people as possible this and this, well, i know is as analogies as a create to that they are going to be milestone moments in your career. and then most of people discovery you. if you could name one or 2 way you saw that was, that was a milestone way more people knew about like local, that was a break. felicia, me with some of those milestones. basically, george. well, a few years ago i wrote a poem for the royal wedding between um, mega michael and prentice. i read a lot of people turned on to me from the moment um, a few years before that, i opened the rugby world cup ends in 2015 with my own poem. people might know me from that up in the face of a few global i've campaigns because i write poems in collaboration. ready brands
5:39 pm
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 loved this. if it was like yours. you've got a big family. it 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 14th of january 2021 just a month ago now. and that's the data i'd send. fuzzy is most of the day of the you got them presidential elections this year and both of these are the big moments
5:40 pm
that were on my mind for obvious reasons. and they just the moment gave me a time of reflection. that co incidence allowed me to reflect on 10 years of doors, the power and also what the, the presidential race between the incumbent president was 70 and the opposition need a b, y. 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. does effects and have you done in society whose reaction is angry and violent. 2 quads, time being silent, but then there's another suspect to see. what does it take to government effectively? one school for we say the rules, but no,
5:41 pm
you can't. and still not to give them what the country is going full before tribal persecution and bruce and more 70 came to power in the eighty's and as of 201880 percent of the guns were under. you fired? 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 when he gave a speech and the way he addressed the country was particularly candid, possible to read the grandkids bear in mind, but the lines for the 6 he hasn't really had to in popular use of pop. again, the machine will use and a tricks he's self made and he's well paid. so many jo kits tested him in the mix. these times come the next election was $7076.00. but there was something grand black about him. that's why so many con, imagine that without,
5:42 pm
if he represents the familiar to georgia, i'm going to go straight to some questions as thoughts from you chief for you. this is timothy. as you can to 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 traumatizing headlines within across the gand george thoughts is. i'm sick and it's 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,
5:43 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 film quite a lot and you're going to that was my 2nd time. so let me get you gone to my 1st time was a few years before i created the music video with the director, isaac over and the produce a cameo to continue a very talented people. that was great, but this time this was a direct declared maggi 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 the. ready like this, that wasn't just the song, but it was also based on the coincidence. i said to him, as soon as i wrote the pieces of black killer read the ended up in the film,
5:44 pm
i said to him, we're going to go out to the, i'm, 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 pick up on and you introducing in. but before the sale of black yellow wrath, i would have listened to see that she's in. she's based in uganda and respond to her thoughts a hey, you get this, we'll say, yeah, i'm as the, you know, you were never going to really change
5:45 pm
most him from this room from the, from this year. so the make so i recognize the, the mix between the decisions and the habits on the track record of this regime and 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 continent, but i recognize some parsons, i read, i recognize, consistencies with the gun and political situation in this situation across many countries in africa. so what i see these problems when i see latest staying and power for longer than the people expected longer than they said they would in the
5:46 pm
1st place. but i see them changing the constitution to allow the stipend, when i see young people and becoming increasingly frustrated and even becoming divided because there are people that do support this regime when i see these concepts. why did why, um, well, i 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 empower and how they all maintain instability and the not in the economy to expand. we need to figure out how we're not going to get locked into fruitless arguments with these regimes. and i think we do that already. we might
5:47 pm
not realize we might not recognize it in the way that i'm describing, bought through uh through our film, through our 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 9 and the diaspora 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 or of being in the, the ask for. and i can see it, people say, well, you knowing in you get how, how would you even that and then you had to the, the 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 maybe blanche. how
5:48 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 as related to you and then i think what the criticisms indicate is that it can't be up to one person, one of the for us or one of the frustrating things about our like through the system and about politics in general is that it becomes so focused on personalities . so many of us load all of our hopes inside almost 74. but if you wanna weigh 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 so typical, but we need to be objective about these systems. so if i'm saying i see similarities in the direction of you kind of politics with the way that i don't want to draw a direct comparisons with any particular country. but if i'm saying i see some
5:49 pm
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 dissolution of the response that i will offer is that i am at least an audience at least, and enjoy a few times in 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. do you done this 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 what of a country that they sense with it? so what i'm saying to anyone who feels that i alone can speak for the future if you're going to, i'm saying the i'm here for you. so you support to me,
5:50 pm
what can we work on? what can we develop on the 1st, the 1st honest that 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 5 says what influence has feel free wind has on you george. in the soon black kilo ridge, you all pretty cool to be wine. can you point out that popularity doesn't mean that you could a company the popular it's the alone is 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 we haven't had the opportunity to show we could do as a head of state. however, in terms of how everyone has influence me, he is reminded me of the importance of speaking truth to power. but we,
5:51 pm
why has been someone who is a student 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 our generation 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 taking it to my feelings about your kindness future, hopefully to most of a other people in the diaspora who my also wants to start developing the opinion. and the contribution to uganda. she learns is a student, he's based in uganda. he has a question for you. so how can we include everyone in this cause for social estimate and then the us to map from a leadership standpoint, once we are the leaders,
5:52 pm
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 button on to the next man to advise us 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, this is what i said a bit at the end of my film, black kilo read,
5:53 pm
you've got this future is not just in politics alone, isn't that 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? where well, opportunities do i have to connect with people overseas overseas you kind of lied
5:54 pm
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 is also collect lots of thoughts and lots of sites. do you watch with them? v says that i love george. i flushing 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, a lot have a list and everybody, you know, maybe not with politics, but music even most of the knows the power of music. busy busy busy busy
5:55 pm
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 out 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, of having all of this comes from the streets here. we still kind of save on to as an sounds from the streets. we've got famous part is working with guns on the streets and food still runs the alternate funds in the streets. we want our music to be or 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, he wanted to be able to help is like, how do i help people?
5:56 pm
and what are the ways that he is doing this with he's up with he's work is he's taking a ph. d, and this only give him a ph. d. this topic, the subject, right? he's, he's like a base is going to help you guidance. this is going to help the african diaspora. george, can you, can you make the connections between what your things, your 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 their own country just trying to thank you for asking about this very 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
5:57 pm
the prospect 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 your guns as black people, for as long as we have 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 has been funk, so disco, the grime, african music now we have afro beats now, uh, dogs, sole, 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 all 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 a music scene dies more prominent than other countries with
5:58 pm
