discover the. subscribe to the documentary on you tube. these giant monsters are trolling areas around copenhagen and we'll find out why later on in the show. hello and welcome to another funded titian of your own max with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up. capturing the beauty of unique bookstores

. furniture that is full of imagination and yet still functional. but we kick off the show with a balancing act of sorts the sport of slacklining or balancing on a high wire is hard enough and requires a great deal of concentration now add the extra challenge of playing an instrument or performing theatrical now they that may sound impossible but this is what a group of french performers are doing up on high we caught up with them at a church in france for one of their latest shows. acrobatics at dizzying heights on a high line. it leads to the abbey church of cent. and southeastern france. here the group will do so is putting on

a show that combines music dancing acrobatics and puppet theater with extreme sports. we used a fashion which is highly i mean to make a scene india so high and become a sin. yet we just want to bring. in the real space you know assume nobody ever play music before. you are not keeping your balance at such heights is already quite a feat but performing a choreographed routine while making music on top of that now that's showmanship extraordinaire. when you're focused on the music balancing on the line and performing it happens automatically and before i put my end you know i'm like oh it will never be a bird i knew my arm to balance and once i stopped playing i just couldn't do it

and when they play music under 90 forget that i'm underlined. the members of the we do this have been performing together since 2016. the highlight of their career thus far was performing on chan many mountain in china. they also staged a multimedia show in a cave in the south of france. 2 would be do we try to introduce elements inspired by the local culture whenever we can at a concert in china we played a chinese drum on the net. and in the grotto we told a local legend. you see it's. we're always searching for the most interesting places to perform so here to be performing in a church it's a 1st time and to believe performing in the garden like this and in a religious context. it's really special for us to change the pre conceived

ideas about locations like this. to the artists from our say came to sometimes 2 weeks before their show to develop the concept onsite. don't like just kind of. show we do so it means we are also from what we discover here so we're in and we speak with the people of the village and we like to include. the place where we are from and. falling d.m. is sometimes town chronicler. one of her tales which deals with the villages social problems in the last century became the central theme of the performance.

of the i recounted local history but transposed it was making it more martin and accessible to everyone to want playing a musical instrument up there on a line without losing your balance that's impressive. most of the groups performances also feature handmade props created with lots of love and care. we are gifted with this and we used. to make. the french performers are now looking for another unusual place to present their daring concept. after their debut performance on a church they're now dreaming of stringing their high lines between the chips in pyramids. we're all afraid of running into that scary monster in the forests well thanks to danish

artist thomas dumbo coming across a giant troll is a real possibility for the last couple of years dumbo has been building and hiding oversized monsters like little tilda in the countryside around copenhagen and now he's put together a troll treasure hunt but as he sees it there is no reason to be afraid. yeah he's hiding in the forest while state has storm is watching every and long live is enjoying the beach. these mystical giant trolls in denmark. but what is going on and how did they can't hear. i think like anybody else my effects were up on fairy tales and folklore stories so i think that's also why i like to tell them oh and i for me trolls they don't need to be like evil they can also be good and in my favorites trolls they are the protectors of nature.

right now thomas down by one to his team of volunteers have. finished strong. so this one here is called evolve and it's like the little old but very intelligent troll. van is one of 10 trolls taking cover in the countryside the story is a well known danish fairy tale thomas plans to finish the sculpture in 10 days at 4 metres in height is one of the smaller. some of the trails sculptures can reach up to 18 meters high i like them to play with scale and make us feel small compared to them because we are really small compared to nature choosing the right materials is an important part of the princess this one here is made from a pole that i found just around the corner here and it's the from the local fisherman they use them to tie their fishing that's all of course we are in the

harbor. and this one is the inscription stone which is actually made from the same wood that comes from those rolling the weapons that they got a whole bunch of in the workshop. aside from nails and glue thomas only uses discarded wood he collects them tearing him sit in his studio in copenhagen this what infinite used to belong to a shop big. to shut down. and i think that projects such as my art can maybe help alter people's perspective from being something worthless to something with value 1st thomas makes sketches of his ideas. the heads and other details then put together in his studio all the other parts a created out in the. good life some kind of peer group. here that's always the last thing. once completed the heads and ready to set off.

that will go to australia and this one will go to the united states across the globe a total of 70. in places like belgium. south korea when i'm traveling out in the world i need to like find for materials locally because of course i can't bring it from china i just love to go on the treasure hunt to find those things were going to make me really having so it's a combination of like having people helping me organize before i arrive but then also just there going around and looking what is in the dumpsters despite the size spotting you troll isn't as easy as you'd think that thankfully there's now an interactive treasure map to help us on that quest this family from copenhagen is on the look out. and she really likes. and to get her out and about to see a bit of the nature out here and then a treasure hunt is always great fun on the dot com hunters can access

a digital treasure map using this map they need to 1st find metal plaques which then provide them with coordinates to the next clue. and so nice to be to see their people to call them and they use it and that is the whole object of my project is to learn people away from their comfort so finally at the end of the hunt. reward away like kept a noun up until. one of his other troll friends. thomas demos plan to get people out jules and into the nature of random seems to be working. and staying in nature most people consider weeds a pesky nuisance but for germans have paid up front they are the stars of his cuisine now he scours the fields for for wild herbs like a mug war or dandelion and he turns them into all kinds of healthy dishes now

franken knows all about their health benefits and he shared some of this knowledge with us. across germany and europe it's like. wild camel miles. last seen as a new sentenced. they often destroyed and discounted tickets. to chef and wild kind of acts but. that's a terrible waste enough spicing up his dishes with wild heps. the common term as wild herbs. and the more insulting turtle is weeds but that's totally misleading. this behind i think we should celebrate plants and all their positive attributes instead. while she lives a healthy and some even contain more vitamins and minerals than common vegetables

pay to frank a farmer just perhaps in the open fields and meadows surrounding babbin a small town in the region in jim an east northeast. i just loved if you can believe like this and use it in herd as t. shirts or in the bath tub with. the best thing i mean is better. i pay to franchise restaurant and tickle while ted speech or in many of his dishes today into his colleague down the aisle no i like making pesto from stinging nettles instead of just picking out leaves they use the entire plant. just by the when you're cooking with nettles it's important to take the female sees the best and it's a perfect dietary supplement for a seed walnuts or of perfect way to enhance the nothing. to get the right

consistency it will be ingredients and mixed with grape seed oil before being pressured with a pest limb or to while out. to. plenty don't extend lines and weeds to make sound it but the most important ingredient is. ground elders also known as bishop sweet it tastes like kohlrabi carrots and parsley the ship sweet contains 4 times the amount of vitamin c. found in lemon juice it's also known to help me through my tears more to tackle a cold 1st the hips and chopped up into smaller pieces then they mix with grape seed all before adding marigold and tomato is good for my heart and soul into cooking these dishes and taking a pleasure in cooking is really important to get it right working with all these aromas and using all your senses that's the secret ingredient is a success. is a trained herbalist who offers wild her tools in berlin she'd like to pass on her knowledge of hips and greets making others more aware of them and uses. many wild

hips go in big cities like an interior you like these potatoes we use this here contains a lot of iron calcium and magnesium the iron plays an important role in keeping us healthy so i am i. the greatest compliment for us is watching people stare at the ground after a tour looking for wild cards they can all use we think we help preserve our native plants by raising awareness for them. and the more herb's they plant the less their yards look like sterile golf courses so. there are a couple of things to consider when gathering herbst like avoiding areas with heavy traffic and only picking plants that you recognize as the startup makes a run as it says for a while to could dispense with the tour was impressed by this age old knowledge. i think when you grow up in the study the diversity of the wild herbs surrounding you

is something you're not really aware of right on rita site helmeted quote i called ever since i started using wild herbs my mom is so much more impressed by my. cooking it gives my dishes a little extra something special to. pay to franco knows all about the many uses of . not only does he use them for cooking but he will say preserve them by making jam jelly. hopes that yes it is restaurants will pick up on his fascination and love for me to. induce we're living in a consumer society where everything is readily available makes us neglect our own well being that's why wild herbs are so important to keep you healthy and should play a bigger role in our society. john mccain sees. stories. lewsey as. the

interesting bookstores on the planet. now they've been gathered together here in bookstores photography a horse a fried rice homage to books his book is the result of 2 years of traveling to 8 countries. every bookstore you enter is the ultimate feeling of books on shelves. but i wanted to show the shops that distinguish themselves from the rest either through their selection or their concept and concept. in his adopted city of london has also captured images of speciality bookshops like mike's brothers founded in $853.00 it's one of the world's oldest and ticker tarion booksellers the most valuable item currently in stock 2 pages from a 670 year old manuscript about the travels of explorer marco polo the asking price $200000.00 euros even if max now reaches many customers online to him printed books

can you imagine a ping pong table for the dining room or a flying carpet as a chair or these are just some of the designs pfiesteria. now his furniture looks surreal and is full of dream like wonder we caught up with the young designer at his studio on fibrous to hear more about what inspires him. the cityscape of a modern metropolis dotted with skyscrapers in the table. its designer. calls his functional artwork the wave city table. i went to we are restaurant and while i was sitting there i was there during the shape of a rug this interesting shape so i thought oh you know what buildings will be interesting so. i did a rough sketch with buildings and i did the 3 d. model on the computer so when we made the 1st evolute really really good fans of

designer furniture agreed the wave city table has made famous even features in the permanent collection of the louvre. he says surreal furniture has a design language all its own whether it's a comical figure holding a surfboard. chairs inspired by a latin spine carpet. or a mountain wire mesh that props up a ping pong table and doubles as a dining table he's inspired by the natural beauty of his homeland cypress. because if you look at nature he's beautiful in the future look closely or even if you look on their microscope you find all these unique patterns in joe metrical shapes and fascinates me because i think the best art take this nature a glass drop of water that creates a ripple effect. when rockets lifting off carrying glass table tops you can see the mediterranean sea and the clouds above cypress reflected in his work. many of

try. we got it right b. and then the 80 kilograms plates are clad with wood painstakingly and by hand a carpenter joins the maple veneer sheets together he can't afford to make a mistake otherwise the entire work will be ruined the craftsman must glue the thin wooden layer to the curved metal plate precisely to the exact millimeter so that meant something to disability and heaviness and they would it gives you the illusion of it's all wood. for the black version the metal is coated with powder based paint. then attaches the buildings using a special and he says. it's a very very very solid piece is. so you can see there. the table bends but it's not actually coming off a trained model maker. spent some time in london working with the world famous

we're not safe here i'm afraid of retribution i don't know if they'll come back to the school it's logical you put your children 1st ahead of everything else. friday's night attack is the 2nd terrorist incident since the start of a trial related to the 2013 charlie hebdo massacre an attack also sparked by the publication of mohammed cartoons. it's less than 20 days until the u.s. presidential election both campaigns are heading into their last lap focusing on must win swing states democratic contender joe biden has returned a hard fought michigan but she's hoping to flip back to blue in november now if the polls are right trumps the candidate playing catch up in this race and he's been trying to regain ground in georgia holding a larger rally there despite the pandemic earlier he addressed seniors in florida an important demographic that's been hit hard by the coronavirus the president

defended his record with an upbeat message. i'm moving heaven and earth to safeguard our seniors from the china virus to deliver lifesaving therapies in record time and to distribute a safe and effective vaccine before the end of the year and we're really doing it even sure that you see what's going on vaccines getting ready to go seniors will be the 1st in line for the vaccine and we will soon be ending this pandemic terms now in macon georgia and so is our correspondent i mean s. if i'm in georgia their own health officials say 5600 people are in the i.c.u. there are 30000 hospitalizations and they say those are under estimates and here we have a major rally a lot of people gathering where you are how are things going down there. there's certainly some concern in macon our local newspapers were speculating on the

possibility of an outbreak after this event fire all just have said that there's a 98 percent chance that somebody at this rally is coded 1000 positive so there is concern here there is even a billboard on i 75 the highway going toward the event that took a little bit ironically said trump's super spreader event this way but the people who went today at event trump's supporters his fans were not concerned no the coordinators were loading people into buses and massed hundreds of people getting on buses shuttle buses taking them to the event that was the only way to get there not on foot not by personal car and this didn't seem to concern most people although i spoke to one woman who was wearing a mask in line to the bus and i asked her are you not worried about getting on there and she looked hesitant but she said you know what i'm willing to risk it to see trump and i think that's why fire all just are worried about trump's events like this because they see it as him encouraging people who would otherwise socially distance to not do so just to see him before the election he's risks begs

the question i mean why trump is in georgia at all it's a traditionally republican state and they want to in 2016 so what's he doing there . well one biden supporter put it this way he said if trump is in georgia this close to the election his campaign must be in trouble that's because georgia has gone republican since the last time they elected a democrat in 1902 that was bill clinton won by a slim majority but since then it's been firmly in the pocket of the republican party that's trump's party now trump looks like he's in a little bit of trouble here latest polls show biden head or neck and neck with trump which is somewhat unexpected but some pollsters put this down to changing demographics here you have a rising latino population they tend to vote democrat and then black americans who vote overwhelmingly democrat are going to the polls in higher numbers and we're seeing that with early voting so this could turn georgia into a swing state this election and it should be noted where you are in macon that

county actually went for hillary clinton in 2016 and now we're seeing biden consistently ahead in the polls not necessarily in georgia but nationally in many swing states so what effect is that data having on both campaigns as they're looking towards the election just a couple weeks away well i think you can see trump coming to georgia is an indication that some places that he thought he had on lock down he does not have so you're going to see him going to places that might have not been on the bill a few months ago when he thought the swing states certain swing states where his but you know his supporters and he himself don't seem concerned about the polls and they have good reason to doubt that because of what happened in 2016 when clinton was expected to win and she didn't so you see overwhelming enthusiasm on trump's side but the polls say otherwise. don't leave it there i mean s.f. in macon georgia where donald trump is as well thanks very much. turn now to some

. basically there isn't all that they. all that they are far it is the government of general prayuth who is the former clearly to now the prime minister of have said is that they will allow a 2 year process to review certain clauses of the jump to drafted constitutional to which he came to power but they've said that any talk about the role the role families can teach completely off limits they talking does not comment directly on politics but last night in pretty recorded comments that were put on roll television he did address some former communist rebels who once been fighting to overthrow the monarchy and praised them now for that contribution to society who suggested they might be able to teach a thing or 2 to a new younger generation what's happening now these these scenes we're seeing in bangkok it feels like it's part of a cycle of protests against the government new government comes into place then there's more protest why is that an accurate perception why is why is the thing

a new offensive to many questions and no answers. the u.s. is in the final stages of its presidential elections president trump is counting on the support of a large group of voters conservative christians they believe that trunk fights on their side against abortion rights. christian men ring meets fellow activists they are all devoted to the cause kristin found inspiration in the bible which she takes this really they are on their way to an abortion clinic to try to persuade women to keep their pregnancies. when telly calls like her make up 25 percent of u.s. voters most of them share a central goal to ban abortion. we are kind of the the last

stop before that abortion we want to reach them one more time and so that's why we're here it's my duty to do what i can do here to persuade as many people to not have abortions as possible but ultimately that's in god's hands and one day they will have to give an answer to god. she and her fellow activists believe donald trump is as committed as they are to banning abortion. abortion is such an important issue in our time and i cannot trust a president who believes that abortion is ok without the right to life we have nothing so if we're taking away and it's a life no one has right the right to life is so important and i'm seeing that from him and that's why i will be voting for him politics professor laura booth and from the university of indianapolis has been analyzing trump's supporters the evangelical vote is critical to donald trump's reelection they've been essential part of his base since he began running in 2016 and even though sometimes the

president has wavered on policy issues the evangelicals have never wavered on their support for him there's no generation gap in terms of the evangelical bloc you see this with younger voters obviously with older voters in their support as well and you don't see a difference in terms of age christina studying to be a nurse or spare time she's already trying to save lives one way talking with people about abortion another way she says is by voting for truong there's a lot about donald trump that i don't like that i don't agree with but in the areas that he does promote truth and justice i pray that god would bless his administration heavenly father we thank you that you have author of my prayer office crucial support for her and her friends they are also praying for donald trump that is reelected to fight with them against abortion.

in europe the number of corona virus infections continues to soar including in germany concern is growing about the pandemic could spread even further that's why easily accessible testing facilities are in high demand. 12 meters long and growing. that's the length of today's line at a medical practice in berlin. people have come here to get tested for corona. through the window i think it's a really nice option doesn't take so much time and it's made the safer than going to of hospitals and sitting in the close space where patients can be sick but here everything everyone is wearing masks and that's just for the window so i think it's really nice that the doctor's ability cuts and runs the practice she's bracing herself for a harsh corona winter with many more patients to deal with it in twice in the time you have my i don't want to be a prophet of doom and gloom but the numbers are clearly going up we all want to

prevent another lockdown so we don't want to have to close the schools again somehow we've got to get through this winter. to prepare for what's coming germany wants to set up more testing stations they would receive people running at a high temperature or with other corona symptoms additionally the public health office which tracks infected people was promised more personnel but that has yet to materialize. and the politicians have pledged to bolster the health authorities over the next 5 years this requires the creation of 5000 new jobs but now as october and november approach the jobs don't yet exist in the health offices this is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. but instead of relying solely on germany's health care and tracking system dr cuts and would rather make testing at home possible. the most significant will have to be given

the chance to do a test without a doctor to go to the pharmacy and buy a test although they do not guarantee 100 percent accuracy and they provide an excellent indicator and are absolutely adequate from an epidemiological point of view because the swap test involves taking a sample between the nose and mouth it shows the results within 15 minutes without sending the sample to a laboratory in germany though only doctors and pharmacists are allowed to order them should infections start rising sharply in winter they might be an alternative to long lines in the cold. our last stop is belgium the pandemic has already claimed more than 10000 lives in this european country the story of 10 year old lorenzo who lost his grandfather to the virus reflects the tragedy of every single loss. the world has lost

a 1000000 lives. one of them meant the world to 10 year old lorenzo my grandpa was the best his grandpa luke picked him up from school each day and what. we made him work and after that. and he just played and couching just didn't really want to deal. mostly i got snacks. but their hometown st trued and was hit early and hard by the corona virus we had 53 people. who had to enter the hospital and we only had bets for 20 people but luke was already hospitalized failing fast he said if i don't make it the police take good care of the children he didn't make it on march 23rd luke became seen truants 1st corona death jeanine and their daughters nell and lane and

a climate change brags that sex. happiness in 3 books. is the book for you. to get smarter for free or you go on you tube. welcome wherever you're watching from this is a new edition of the 77 percent of the mike a genie it's great to have you with us. on this show we'll be talking a lot about african music how big is it and what is its influence on the rest of the world yes a breakdown of what's coming up. kenya's only professional female to caution for with drumming against all. odds with the median german musician and the

scots wife after pop has become a global sensation. on finally we make moves with gonna dance and all that so. let's get the ball rolling with one of the key components of african music drums they provide melody and rhythm to any song and can be used for trolls and any kind of ceremony but traditionally they are mainly plead by men so it's not easy for mental toll in the drumming business. is one of them she's fighting for her passion and paving the way for more girls and young women in nairobi the stew type of the drum. is a force to be reckoned with she's been a drama for over 13 years and is kenya's only professional female percussionist. i play

a question as an african woman to present african women and that is all i'm having fun at it telling a story. born in a small village in eastern kenya has remained focused on what she loves most traditional percussion sound she's keen on keeping drumming traditions alive. and legendary tanzania. is her ultimate hero this woman was incredible she was a strong courageous you know and a courageous woman and she stood her ground well. that really fired me up you know . but seaver has been criticized for being a female drama in most parts of africa the art is taboo for women.

while. that a festival and a man approached me and asked how do you think you look like you're holding the government between your legs or that statement speaks a lot about how the question is. and the role that question plays and. despite these missile genetic attitudes fame has been getting her requests to mentor young men because she's simply one of the best in the business 16 year olds. is one of them. and i really wanted to meet her and then one day we met at an event we could in a performance. he started playing when he was 13 and today moses is determined to follow in verse footsteps youngsters like moses show her that mindsets are changing i still have to keep working i still have to keep

mentoring i still have to instill that positive attitude i still have to tell the story of that i'm not a rebel i am telling your story my story using this as a tool of expression. 'd 'd beating stereotypes and drumming up a crowd is all in a day's work for perceiver most of all though she's hammering down the notion that women can't use but caution to express themselves. that's beautiful you know i wish i could play drums actually i'm not sure i completely immediate she meant well but let's not talk about me let's talk about another person breaking boundaries with his music eric sell it. he's one of very few white maybe ends producing quite of music now people doubted him

a lot in the past but when he received the now maybe an artist of the year award that was in 2009 he won the respect of his critics east now spends his time in more than the medium capital of india cologne germany. laser them and hi my name is is born raised the 1000000 musician and i would like to take you to my world of never live us to. the next and also known as east is already a star beyond the borders of his home country namibia the artist lyrics are a mix of afrikaans english and german and maybe in slang. words are populated but culturally diverse maybe as a former german colony. the country was ruled by apartheid south africa before achieving independence in 1940 event is music stand for unity and creating an olympian multicultural identity. with

a mix of quite tall afro pop reggae and hip hop each has created a distinct music genre which he called nam flavor. oh then flavor means. everything that happens in a maybe because people used to say as a white every can you're not doing 100 percent quite to cause quite to can only be done by black africans and then to some point i just said ok to those few haters saying that it's fine i do now flavor because all my music or my fashion or my lifestyle or my my language everything i talk is inspired by namibia and i'm a bit has a lot of flavor so it needs its own would memphis. but each has been on the southern african music scene for long it's collaboration with several quite a great has won him awards and respect but that's not enough to eat who wants to bring quite a new 6 the next level. i would love to see quite

a music and the whole effort he'd get more global reach because i feel that the energy and the positivity behind quite a music is something we know we need to share with the rest of the world. and eric zell. is here with us today looking all pumped up. ok let me know your horse and i wouldn't. but hey you doing really cool stuff thank you very much it's meaning quite talk that you do for those of us that don't know much about so what would you describe it quite the music is a mixture of house music music hip hop music all mixed together. during the last stages of apartheid was under apartheid movement and then after apartheid switched into something very celebrating of the african southern african lifestyle

so quite to music it's very positive very energetic you cannot sit still when the music plays so you are not well because you just cannot sit still it's a lot of beads a lot of energy in it what really drove you into quite to music was it just because i saw a white maybe. you want to prove that you'll be successful at it or. usually i just go from the gut feeling if i feel something feels right i just do it so in the beginning people said ok listen but how can you do quite to music as a white african it's not possible and i didn't even i just blocked out everything i just said right now i love quite the music i was born in africa i was raised with quite the music so i can i not do quite so i just block out all the talking or the hate and just did what feels right and yeah and now how's the jenny bins of. and on and on it's an honor to wake up in the morning and to do music it's on the to represent the namibian i call it never flavor style the namibian lifestyle of the

african culture because i feel we have such a rich culture in africa and i want to bring that energy and i want to show to the world that hannity and we laugh seeing what you do it now just to quote something that you've said before you said you want to create unity and i'm all namibian multi cultural identity through your music why is that important to you i just i've seen and i've experienced the power of music i see what music can do when i do shows in africa i see all types of people all types of races or top of colors language all coming to one dancing to one song i think with music we can we can achieve so much more than many other politicians try to do for many years so i think music is something which i'm focusing on too to unite people because we are we are all humans and when the music plays inside a few the same so that's the energy i want i don't know it just feels right we'll be catching up all on that chats but talking about music it's not easy for african

artists to market down music that's all thanks to the internet john has like afrobeat and high life have enjoyed some success on the global music scene now there's a new generation of musicians buddies and high quality marketable music called afro pop. some pretty cool music videos and it seems it's here to stay like this out. afro pop wave of led by artists like nigerian star been a boy who found his fame for his music and has an exploding beetroot following. his national breakthrough came with his 2800 single year followed by collaboration is with storms me and ed sheeran for the song on it we did. that song reached number one in the british charts. another west african superstar dancehall musician shuteye wiley from ghana. writing. his international profile recently

got a boost through his work on the un says single already. under soundtrack for the coronavirus crisis which is getting so many people across the globe pope and entertainment have been a song generally selema. this gem from some african artist masticate set up a global dance craze known as the jerusalem act dance challenge. you. will . you. know you cannot stop that's. your kind of tell me that you've not heard this song and dance to it you know some of our folks on our facebook page sent us some comments on that particular song let me read a couple of them press see girls from cameroon says i love the song should go higher than it already has it's already received quite

a 1000000000 views over 160000000 i should say but i would say our friend also from uganda says music is life and hope. life many thanks for ringback those comments appreciate it back to you i mean you were dancing to it you know i was young so the thing is like i said earlier it's received over 160000000 views on you tube what about the song made it such a big hit. the reason this there wasn't ignace behind that. i've known lost their cages songs for quite some time now and. they have they have the certain things which you you cannot just sit still and i think he made the song where the wood cannot sit still we have to go out and it's just it's a proud moment i think for all of us africans to see a song like that go so big that the rhythm is so typical quite to

a full. bass that's i think as you mentioned you know the beats for it is very key but is there's a lot more to making music a hit than just the beats bad use you somehow have to i don't know cause i don't even a standard language i don't know what you're saying but it's still a vibe that you know what are being greedy and. i couldn't tell you it's mostly a certain energy a certain energy which gets transported via the vocal that's. how the song structures put together and because hits you don't just going to say you make a hit they hit chooses you there's a lot of local artist on the continent that's you that you know if you want to rub shoulders with the $0.50 they have that was a little all those big that is now you you cannot speak english it was the rap it in their setting way in english but that's not it is it it's very sad to see when i went to the m.t.v. africa music awards in kenya and i see that this was some time back now but i see that how they celebrate more american stars than their own stars which i think we

have so much rich culture and and musically i mean the 1st rhythms come from africa so we have it there to really push hard most people have been affected by the pandemic of in 1008 with you and your music how has it hit you if it has very much i've not done one life show this year my whole album which i've been working on for over a year now is on hold it's on ice so i cannot really release it if i don't if i can go out and do shows even though we're sitting here we have a plexiglas tween us which feels a bit weird but it s. but at least we can see. now like this which wasn't also the case 2 weeks ago so yeah it is affected us all by i think we should we should learn from it. and changed as humans a few things the way we we treat nature because this will reoccur if we keep disrespecting nature so yeah it's been definitely great instrument it in you up and

i thank a lot for the time that hopefully you can get back to where do what music talking about overnighting the pandemic has physically cut off artists like himself of course from the our audiences but musicians in uganda are finding a way round it beef partnered with leading television stations to 10 weekends into bachelor dance parties and the funds are the lighted one of them is number quite a high jar of diana. i stay on. the. front seat. in this live t.v. show ugandan pope's desk by staying in the forms for funds across the country. was . she misses the big stage but she remains happy that she can at least keep the funds virtually entertained was bill so good because i know every fund of spice than i've been watching me before because i know they miss me and katie so such a show it's actually keeps them you know is connected just by that that it makes

them feel like we actually together how it's maybe like show somewhere. and that is truthful how fun if number. she enjoys the show and laos to dance along from how blueman compain and thankful about it and frankly think small planes and drinks or go wild and waiting for space camp. it was all sound rather another massive show and the same joy that couldn't icon guys then i sometimes i paused a white. when she's not on t.v. spy stana is mostly busy updating the social media. she sees that the local down as go to more active on the meet to keep her following engaged i think things are going to be more dignity for now because you know the primary has really helped us

feel the value of social media and the value of you know and maybe. the likes of the following because now like i've told you some companies have reached out to me because of my following. despite that diana sees that income has sharply dropped during the pandemic just like for most artists. online platforms like you tube bring in some income but she sees that there's not much ticket sales for live audiences especially in our country where funds rarely buy records. move funds all dutch to well it is time to dance. was. full of spice in the. dance and to our favorite artists from this fund. it is what it is right now let's dance our way to our next destination in our ivory coast where we meet each the
