horizons it was here that she studied singing as well as law for a while and then developed a profile as a human rights activist. after launching her career with african songs and performances that she developed from traditional dances she came to work with such big music industry names as peter gabriel conason tana joss stone and alicia keys. on her travels and on tour she discovered influences of african music all over the world. whenever i was in the u.s. or brazil where ever i was i always discovered something of my continent the club the rhythm that came with the slaves. to cuba. or to the city all these rhythms are based on the weather to quarter 4 quarter or 6 quarter time. when i'm making music i never get out of time if i listen to the club

closers german grandfather worked on ships and hamburg through its ports the city has always been a gateway to the world. what it was sometimes still feels alien and unwelcome it's different when she gets to work here she's surrounded by musicians and dancers from all over the world people of all different skin colors and origins. she spent the 1st 2 years of her life in ghana and other african countries with her

mother a german development aid worker and her canadian father a musician she was 12 when the family moved to hamburg it was hard to adjust to a new culture a new mindset and who had german school where she was the only pupil with dark skin . 87 ish beside him his t.c.k. so i describe myself as a t.c.k. 3rd culture kid. my mother's from hamburg where we're shooting right now. and my father is from ghana. and he was born and raised in eastern gonna so i have an entirely different culture namely in the 3rd culture and that's exactly how i see music music is the personal 3rd culture it's everything that is inside you the output is indefinable for me output is always indefinable because i like artists who work like that i draw inspiration from very different things. for example i

recorded my nephew's heartbeat away i'll show you. i mix that with this. earth. and it's a backyard inside a go in the car and this was the result. of. the sounds of africa a continuous source of inspiration for you caught on. the

continent is abuzz with music it's not a cliché but reality as we discover in the canadian capital accra. in the district of jamestown a different tune reverberates from every street side still. we hear afro pop and i've heard these as well as contemporary hits created on computers just like songs anywhere else in the world and yet there's something quintessentially african about them. oh. africa doesn't just inspire through its music this is an artist and scores where yasser likes to buy fabrics she finds ideas for his stage shows and music video costumes here.

exposed to music. and of course the biggest musical influence was my father who was a high life musician. i got a rehearsal room in our house and rehearsals were always on saturdays at 4 o'clock . am stark's all feel. my my father taught me how to play the john bell little our traditional drum and my mother introduced me to piano. i had piano lessons but it was all very classical i had a very strict piano teacher here in akra. i actually only played mozart and the like with him which i hate it. so when i got home i mostly did my own songs with a few notes or chords that i already knew. but i named either of them are.

today your coaches music is rooted somewhere between africa and europe like millions of people today she's at once adrift and at home in several places at the same time. her world view is all in compassing taking in different languages and cultures but her lifestyle is also complicated. recordings for a video clip with abandon across. the . board to want. freedom is within you is the message of his song diamonds the diamonds of life you'll save the lyrics it's you and nobody else who can crack your code to freedom .
