a city hall and is trying to help partisans municipal government grapple with the rising numbers of homelessness every day he says the toll it takes on the city's destitute bosy war is that the economy fallout from kovac 900 pandemic could push more people into the streets. according to the u.s. census bureau some 9000000 americans are behind on the rent and at risk of a victualling many now depend on help from places like this community kitchen. the eviction moratorium has protected them from landing on the streets during the pandemic but it is due to run out by the end of march. from a good 4 months behind you know i didn't pay my rent horribly and left for nothing not a dollar probably the worst possible thing that could happen to anyone is to be

homeless because there's some people who never were home don't know how to handle me i wouldn't have a handle on things despite idea approaching deadline new rental assistance has still not been approved by congress which is currently fighting over to new stimulus package. on the streets of paterson edwards bosy hopes that the money arrives on time and compromise on back rent too right i have people way behind on rent. and they're never going to get out. and if i a victim i would just getting it probably was behind. you know if somebody came to me as a landlord and say i'll give you half the rent i'd be i'd be happy for that without help soon many more people could be left out in the cold. in the siberian town of kissel us residents have been complaining of breathing problems for years they live in what's known as the black heart of russia where

legendary recognitions like bob marley alpha blondie and lucky to be as his main influences but he's also cut his own musical meech he often blends jamaican reggae with local african languages and sounds. a lot of african people want to do reggae music but they have the iran not. idea the wrong idea of the fact that if you cannot speak jamaican patois but you cannot do reggae music jamaican people which they speak some african languages are far beyond the what do to market a reggae music with african language. black crossed as part of the rest of foreign community a religious movement striving for unity amongst africans and the african diaspora. leaders of ghana 1st affair in movements a reggae music house arrest a foreign connect to the spiritual side. but music is like.

narratives. in the bible and i don't know all of books so this is what if i would. have it which i am embarrassed unprompted. but rest of parents aren't the only ones who love reggae music around here. because it is bush not to tell you. this. even if you want to learn about the bible. the lyrics of the songs that does what sometimes when i'm depressed i used to listen to a good music then i'll be ok in the afternoon black raster heads to the radio studio to host his prime time reggae show. he believes its popularity just goes to show how important reggae is to many people in ghana your right it's not because it is just reggae but it is because the message that rig

superstar out of marley long after his death from bob marley and reggae music remains widely popular globally but particularly across the african continent so what made africa fall in love with. me. personally to me is the most full consent that music on the planet to me it's uncompromising. politically. culturally really should be spiritually. whatever. when i was growing up in tanzania my parents had this book molly because i had to use to listen to for hours in the car i still know the lyrics to some of the songs by heart.

but back then i didn't know that i was listening to a legend today reggae still has millions of fans across africa i have no money listening to read every day. talk to me. first place i don't know how. nobody taught me not to get their money in front of. bob marley when you come to africa you talk about the late lucky debate that made me curious about why we africans still love reggae so much and why many fans identify with this type of music before we move on here's a brief history of reggae. music genre was born in the 1960 s.

in the caribbean island of jamaica in the early seventy's it was popularized across the globe by artists like bob marley bitter top bunny wailer johnny nash and burning spear reggae became so popular in africa that it even made a huge political impact in $1800.00 for example bob marley performed at the celebration for his involved with independents. had the kinds of messages that were relevant to the time they were relevant. in a very universal and global way the issues of struggle the issues all defeating oppression the situation in zimbabwe. and the the war the ongoing civil conflicts there that he lays it on his $979.00 album survival which i do believe is molly's best album the sound of reggae seems to be one secret

to why it's so well loved in africa they can claim hi i'm a special connection between africa and reggae in jamaica has history obviously thing. i reckon music is like was made hope you line up by the jamaican. africans who lived in germany because. it's like they clearly found all of africa. and they started to improvise you know like use what you know it's in the i tunes like that and create this sound it called. so when we. listen for it is like north but they know the song and you know its orbit and it's quoting that comes with the sound and the milloy d. and many influential to make an reggae stars i rastafari pressed the foreign ism is

a religion and a movement that originated in ethiopia and in fact many jamaican rest revere of the format if you open emperor haile selassie and consider him a prophet or a deity of russia. his majesty is jesus he is that christ. the redeemer. so it's more than just him being the emperor because they will link everything biblically right to that line of state. now what i've often noticed in my home country tanzania is that people don't seem to have a problem with reggae but they do have a problem with what some call the rock the lifestyle the dreadlocks the songs that praise marijuana arrest as are often met with prejudices across african societies thereafter catches him and blessed by. university kids and on and through the smoking of weed not for the for not for its activism not for.

its approach. of peace and unity but mostly for smoking weed in western countries the criticism of dancehall in particular has sometimes been that some of the lyrics are calling for discrimination and violence against members of the l g b t community this homophobia is often believed to stem from the artist's deep religious belief that homo sexual relationships are a sin there is a company named murder music that calls for reggae and dancehall artists to abstain from using hateful language and from calling for violence against gays and lesbians while many african fans have conservative views on homosexuality homophobic lyrics are not the reason why they would choose to listen to reggae reggae may have evolved a lot since the 1960 s.

and right now many young african fans prefer listening to dancehall because it's more upbeat but the message remains the same. said many young people into types of music many reggae be it. lucky to be. actually older or hobby. even passed on so is rigor still relevant to. be asked around in lagos nigeria. to me personally i like pretty good music most people saying going to news is a. talent so i like them i love to get me through work not simply because some my shares some on old big amusing. one i love

very good music right i don't know why people. really like to listen to me but one largely of these kids are beginning to get it but you know what's actually really news just the 0 people on our food music reviews boards if you really like before. there were guests evolved into dancehall and reget and but a core message to emancipate self or mental slavery remains the same that is also the aim of south africa and songwriter. she grew up in a society that is still equal and that is something she wants to change the songs question how soccer fan history is taught in school and she hopes that one day all south africa will be treated equally. ok good day good morning sun when i'm eating chinese halloween summonings misspelling the real. young people

skin happens because who knows it keeps. the likes of me help someone to the bank. for you know medically getting it out because. my heart it's the horn of africa it's whole continent it's just it's pumping. if you look at my completion you won't see it. i look like i could be from anywhere in the world and i just feel like my my black god this is. they have a deeper saddle going on and if i can lose my light privilege i'm going to use it. 25 years after the past 8 afy like it's still not equal it's. still living in the legacy of it and it's our duty to change this and shake things up to me like yo. you see the able nation. like how free are we.

in our history books about it gets through to us in a neutral point of view which is 100 percent false because it wasn't we didn't want to lead to be raped and pillaged by the colonisers would want nobody wanted my experience at school was i got my lessons in english and afrikaans what about you what about this is what about p.d. what about ronnie what about all these other languages how people speak these languages this is like is your lies and lies are going to opportunity to be true to our kids and future generations and the leaders of the modern. lydie colonization of the calculation is something that must be done it's an option that's going to have to be done and i feel the younger generations they are even more fire power because they can see the veil is being lifted when you see

a statue with a monument it's a symbol they carry weight they carry power they carry illegitimate a limb so elite take that down it's almost like we take a powder was in 21st in my africa is self sustainable in 21st the magic is a continent of abundance intrastate. right now would you jump off a cliff a vast waterfall just tied to a thin rope that's what i personally about next has done uncountable times on the slopes of mount elgon between uganda and kenya so you set up

them it can help to build strengths. because this is like conquering one of the fears that you have in your life doing this is that killed being more brave the inter ism in uganda is heavily dependent on foreign travelers most of them come to see animals like the big caps and their very and durable mountain gorillas but john is now investing in inventions designed for the young and curious travelers from uganda itself he knows it's not an easy task and. when a young person is joining something there is always that high expectations i 100 clients i need this that cannot happen in a silver plate you need to walk up or need you need to be very consistent tourism it's patients its needs creativity it's in its motivation it's always need your

mind to think everyone our you all to spend thinking of the new word that comes in so that you can convince someone to come and enjoy your stock. job says before mother could hit 900 pandemic the number of tourists had significantly increased from a monthly average of 20 at the start of 24 team to about 4 times as many by february 2020. right now whose groups may be small but as the facts a roll out gets under way john is optimistic that more travelers will soon come to see the scenic mountain story upset again. to do absolutely not what awful i did it in ghana was and i must confess that i'm a start i was a bit never was but it was absolutely worth it if you have never tried it absolutely and i think you should let me take you to guinea bissau ever been there
