up on to be sure will find out the truth about ricky and miss byron canyon. read us just reading. when i bring in rush on uganda miles elk on the raw us one takes us on the whole. we get the we start off today. sure. in got out my home country half as strong rigor costa, and one of its most prominent artists is above becca, met in a black rust up for more than a decade. the artist and radio presenter houses spread and bullets go consciousness through rigging music. let's find out more. the miss a black. russia is laying down tracks with his band at the studio and across

more than 8 albums to his name. black russia is one of the mainstays of gunners. ready for him. reg, as a platform to speak about issues affecting his society because it's easier for me to put my message in reggae than any other genre. so i chose to get music because we didn't use it already has the track record of militancy. that's why reagan music is wet song and power. wet sound and po is a message carried on the sound. and then he gives you the songs, tackle history, politics and religion. one of his most popular songs celebrates clement chroma, and then revolutionary, and the countries, 1st president of the country, was what it was for just black roster sides legendary

recognitions like bob marley, alpha, blondy, and lucky to be as his main influences. but he's also caught his own musical knees . he often blends to making regular with local african languages and sounds and can play there with a lot of african people want to do reagan music. but they have the eater. iran us idea the wrong idea of the fact that if you cannot speak jamaican patois, that you cannot do regular music. jamaica people wish they could speak some african languages out, 5 blondie. what through the market, reagan music with africa, language last last as part of the rest of foreign community, a religious movement striving for unity amongst africans and the african diaspora. leaders. i've got to trust a fairy movement, say reagan, you to help trust a foreign connect to the spiritual side. the news,

it is like the narratives in the bible on other order books, but not full. this is what you find with in rigor music. and that is speech our side with which i and i are the rest of our i embrace on practice. address, friends aren't the only ones who love reading music around here. tele music. this is personal to tell you it's more than this guy here pop in order to get a bunch of little rig kelly. if you want to learn about the bible, listen to read the lyrics of the songs that does what's in spite. sometimes when i'm depressed, i use to listen to the music, then i'll be okay. in the afternoon black raft, i head to the radio studio to host his primetime ratio. he believes its popularity to goes to show how important reggae is too many people in ghana. what you're right, it's not because it is just rig it,

but it is because the message that read this fall is what people are listening to a reg is the only kind of genre that are suit frame and define it's message. a message of unity and peace for black roster and other lovers of reggae in ghana, the beat will continue to sound from generation to generation. unity love and peace. hardly any one priest message more than boy molly. he is not just an idle for black roster, but v icon reagan music around the world. so why did is flourish is past so many people, how it's rigor linked to african vehicle on my vision, and any doc sites to rig my colleague, liz, sure. tell you the whole truth. everyone in africa knows this guy

is the make of most famous export reggae for marley, long after his dad, bob marley and reggae music remains widely popular low belief, but particularly across the african continent. so what made african fall in love with rigging to me is the most prob, consent of music on the planet. to me is uncompromisingly black, politically black, culturally racially, spiritually, whatever african, when i was growing up in terms of me out, my parents had this book, molly cars said we used to listen to 4 hours in the car. i still know the lyrics to some of the songs by heart. the

then i didn't know that i was listening to a legend today, reggae still has millions of fans across africa. i know money listening to a game every day because they're a good daughter. we help our teachers, for as far as i don't know, help what he says, are you aware of would do this very good to me help what he said, nobody talk to me, nor was very good through the mother and fido freaked out must now be bob molly, when you come to africa, you talk about the lead lucky debates that made me curious about why we africans fill love reggae so much. and why many fans identify with this type of music? before we move on, here is the brief history of reggae music

genre was born in the 960 s in the caribbean island up to make up in the early seventies. it was popularized across the globe by artists like wild marley, get charged by the way, le johnny, an ass and burning spear reggae became so popular in africa that it even made a huge political impacts in 1980. for example, bob marley performed at the celebration for as in bob was independent called, molly had the kinds of messages that were relevant to the time they were relevant in a very universal and global way. the, the issues of struggle, the issues of defeating oppression. the situation in bob boy and the, the war, the ongoing civil conflicts there that he articulated on his 1979 album survival. which i do believe his, molly's best album,

the sound of redgate seems to be one secret to why it's so loved in africa. the kent lim highlander sees a special connection between africa and rig gave. in jamaica the history of slavery . in the light was made put 2 lines on me cut by the jamaicans, this kylie africans who lived in jamaica. so it's like they carry the found of africa to jamaica and they started to improvise, you know, like, use what, you know, the, it's in the genes like the drums and that to create this sunday called k. so when we hit africa like listen to it is like no but they know the song noise or the tendency coding that come with the sound and the mellow, again, the way the any influential, jamaican reggae stars are rest, the fire rise,

rastafarianism is their religion, and the movement that originated in ethiopia, in fact many jamaican rest revere the former. if you open an emperor haile, selassie and consider him a profit or a deity for love of rest. as his majesty is jesus, he's that christ life figure there, redeemer, the ultimate redeem. so it's more than just human being the emperor, because they will link everything biblical right back to the line of david. now what i've often noticed in my home country times is that people don't seem to have a problem with reggae, but they do have a problem with what some call the rest, the lifestyle, the dread locks, the songs that plays marijuana, the rest as i often met with prejudices across african societies, their aspect. gotcha them in blessed by high school and university kids and all need through the smoking of

a weed. not for the for not for it's activism. not for its proper propagation of peace and live in unity, but mostly for smoking, weed and western countries. criticism of dance, whole 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 believe to stem from the artists deep religious belief that homosexual relationships are a sin. there is a campaign name, the soft murder music that called for reggae and daniel 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 1900 sixty's. and right now,

many young african fans prefer listening to a dance hall because it's more up beat. but the key message remains the same. one was the us list said, many young people into other types of music. many reduced us be at alpha blondie to kinda lucky to be above molly, actually older or how even pass on. so as rigor still relevant to envision we asked around in lagos, nigeria, the me personally, i like most of people that i know does thing in the states. so i like them. i was not somebody because from

my rigor music, i love regular music. why? why people really like to watch and even to get it will know what that is like the equal and approved music to reduce those you read before the rigorous thought hoss evolved into dub dancehall and written but a call message to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery remains the thing that is also the aim of south africa wrap up and song right miss, pass him on to grew up in a society that is still on equal. and that is something she wants to change. the thought question, how sort of history is taught in schools? as you hope one, be all south africa will be treated equally. ready. good day. good mornings i would 9 even chinese. hello mean? so my name is miss penny when we'll 88 young missy scare up. and because you know

what's in my hands on what the se in my hi, it's the whole of africa, this whole continent that just gets pumped. ah, if you look at my home picture, you must be from here in the world and i just feel like my black god, this is i have a deeper struggle going on. and if i can use my life privilege, i'm going to use it 25 years. awesome. thank you so much. it's the flood listing from levine, the legacy of it. and it's our duty to change it and shifting up to be like, yo, the so fee you see the relation to the like how we all leave yearly

to get to to your point of view, which is 100 percent false because it wasn't, we didn't want the land to be, but the police by the colonizers, why nobody wants it. my experience at school was i got to my listen in english and a few on what the, what is, what the but this is a polish, i like about the, the what the much landing. what about all the other languages, how people speak these languages? this is like your life and why they're not getting the opportunity to be taught to our kids and future generation and will leaders after much that must be done. that's an option that's going to actually be done. and i feel the younger generation, they have even more firepower because they can see the vale is being lifted. when

you see a statue with some one you went to somebody katie white, they carry power with a carry energy on them. so when we pick the town, it's almost like we take a power that, ah infinity for him or if he could ease, so sustainable in 24. you might. ethic is a continent of abundance in the would you jump off the cliff above that waterfall? death tied to a thin rope. that's what a person we are about to meet next past done on countable times on this loss of miles elbow and between your gander and kenya. job. so yeah. who has set up

a trouble company and no, it's not for, for interest, but aims are the young uganda travelers. during the pandemic, international tourism has declined, but locals are still visits and attractions. so come along with me and bring a lot of courage. we are going to jump off the edge, mount elbow on an eastern uganda, even untouched piece of nature. the old volcano is 4300 meters high. it floats a renew hotspots for africa. the younger generation of travelers, the, the real we are doing up saying great a 100 and you can revise it, but it's all the way through the votes. on the young man in a rush, they want to join nature. the thing once we enjoy it away,

the last 4 my votes to go. and so that's all that you would come up to the reason, domestic tourism campaigns, more young uganda and a speaking out, adventure tourism and job to echo has supported a business of the community and it involves risk taking things. that is why we always say that, do not do what you think. always do what we tell you to do. with the 26 year old has started a travel company, offering young travelers adventures on the mountain. you've got a these guys need to trust. job 100 percent.

it's a life changing experience. yes, it can help to build momentum in them. it can help to build strengths. because this is like conquering one of the fee is that you have in your life doing this is that you're being more brave. tourism in uganda is heavily dependent on foreign travellers. most of them come to see animals like the big cats and the very adorable mountain gorillas. but job is now investing in adventures designed for the young and curious travelers from uganda itself. you know, it's, it's not an easy task. the when a young person is joining something, there is always that high expectation. i want 100 clients, i need this, that can happen in a silver plate, you need to work a poor need. you need to be very consistent. tourism needs patients. it needs

creativity. it's amidst motivation, it's always need your mind to think everyone are you office spend thinking of a new word that comes in so that you can convince someone to come and enjoy your job says before the could be 1900 pandemic. the number of tourists has significantly increased from a monthly average of 20 at the start of 2014 to about 4 times as many spots everywhere in 2020 right now his groups may be small, but as but that's the role of gets on the way. don't it's optimistic that more travelers will soon come to see the scenic mountain place again. ah, i'd love to do a ceiling on that waterfall. i did it and got was, and i must confess that other start i was a bit nervous but it was absolutely with it. if you have never try it off ceiling. i think you should mess we take you to guinea to sol. ever been there and no,
