important issues affecting the lives of africa's youth. i wonder camara, and it's my pleasure to have you here. this week's episode is all about the power of music. gambiola, if us fellow artist, why music and politics, i thought in quite nigerian legendary twin drop dual p square tele this week, went to saddle and revisit the ancient city deep in the sahara table with let me take you over to the gambia, where robbing legend and political icon is talks to fellow musicians about what makes music so powerful. the various musicians give us their perspective on the importance of he, pope, and politics and how it empowers the youth and guardians,

in general, he said, love everybody. my name is kelly a rapport and human rights activist from the gambia, with africa as gambia from a context has been living in 22 years under the idea of damaging yeah. demos with restricted autism media, and people from speak enough in general artist also may be quoted or faith in excel such as i did. and today we're going to go around and see what the post a part is off when it comes to hip hop rap music. and it's affiliation with politics. if you are ready, let's go begging him last night. and that's what's your take on hip hop and politics me and in want

put it takes if the bar but don't always say that. wow, i always say that's doesn't very interesting because in gambia you see that a lot of artists feel like they should not be associated. because one is probably bad for the image or if not perceived well by the people. what kind of politics, politics you're wanting a hope. you're right. when you have to say something that goes, how can people, you don't look into the eyes and then you're going to say, so what did they like? it doesn't prove when somebody like me picks it out, the whole country went ahead. so i'm not a type of person that would go with that kind of get familiar with. thanks. my brother. tally, be easy as somebody who has been there for the people and what's your thought on

the topic of hip hop be in affiliated with politics? yeah, music i've always been used to on the express decent and encourage political activism . we've seen the legs off on what money on john lennon and all that and when it comes to gumby. busy the light on kill ace with thought about on the song po, box you get it done by you respect with we coming up. we had to do the same thing or even try to little more gained or we can. but then i think on guardians, don't really understand the concept of an artist speaking out for them. i think most guardians know people that work on the government and all that.

so when you speak up against when they took a person and they feel like there's a problem, that ticket person or they're going to think like, you know, when that it's not you're speaking for them. think it is our responsibility to always speak out for the people even if they don't want to, even if they don't want you to do that for them yet. and i think it's our responsibilities to do so. yeah. we have a beautiful streets of calling around to send the gambia forest area. and thank you so much for inviting us lena. what your thoughts on this particular topic? i don't see like a bad thing being a musician at the same time doing the politic music. because for me, i'm like luther and music goes together. as we mission, we have the voice and they give us a voice to just get out and want to know that the population can then. yeah. so for us we are here for the population to be here for the voiceless. and we are here for you and to empower people specially as an art has been does a lot of social songs,

me in the advocacy for the empowerment of women in the gambia. like what have been the challenges politically that you see has been hindering what to do. it's another fight and another chinese because you've been a woman and the mission people are like okay, kind of the mission. a woman place is in the kitchen and house having the kid and taken care of your husband like that. being the mission and being a woman. i think it's more powerful than anything since that we're in a new so called democracy. do you really believe that that can change where women like you could have the confidence to speak up, get out no fear. of course, of course it can change a lot because we can't to speed out some people. we can't to say what is in their hearts, and let's just do everything and try for just come together. thank you so so much. thanks so much and thank you for helping me really,

really appreciate it. thank you. kayla is now some people may be afraid to speak out, but this show is where we young people speak out without fear or favor. and we are about to meet another young person doing exactly that through her music, senegal. roxanne has a new kid on the block. evie crazy has broken through and is leading the charge of women. drop us in west africa. take a look. it's a hot night in sali, a coastal town near synagogue capital, dak hall, and rappa evie crazy is burning up the stage. it's been a long road to this breakthrough for one of synagogues, few female rappers in that one is simply never had the courage to become a rep as a woman. the stereotype was that female rappers were women who dressed like men were genes that smoked blah blah blah. we were marginalized, martinez is evie. gracie has been on synagogues rap scene for 10 years,

and rap is her passion to work and life in music once everything to me, i gave up everything for magic, for music. ah, evie crazies 1st album explore self confidence and equality and synagogue male dominated wrapped seen paula, clearly: uh huh. my 1st lyric is i'll smoke you and all your m. c family. basically when i arrive i take no prisoners. i play for keeps and my own destiny. i'll d thrown every one tequila, so you see me. plaster is music runs deep and her family evie crazy remembers how she started writing lyrics and wrapping with her brother warner. we used boxes and bottles to lay down beats. after that, i wanted to wrap my brother to use it. i leave a whole sad. i've been in but my dad could not accept it. he let my brother app

because he was a boy in tampa. see to see him. yeah. so so low what was despite the misgivings evie kept at it and after school wrapping became her career. but the moved took its toll. her marriage fell apart when her in laws couldn't to accept her profession. and the trappings that came with it, keep it but not one. i'm with kathy, the family was very religious and it just wasn't a great fit with my music, korea dental and it wasn't just my in laws. he ma'am, is of my own family, objected to the music like this every way. the devil. duncan, tipper, evie crazies, barzon rhymes, also tackle environmental pollution and politics. partly because senegalese rapids see themselves as the voice of the masses. this includes singing in local languages like wal off jolla or mundane get whenever

there's a problem, people ask where the artists to supposed to sing about big issues so that everyone knows about them. not every senegalese went to school, and so don't necessarily speak french or news and world events are covered in french and many are left uninformed, told him what he somehow call best of all though evie crazy has found her place in santa gauze. music scene earned the respect of appears, and she's here to stay. mila. all on up to day. we female rappers are not treated as an oddity and visit because they are more of affal. i think the next generation will be even more at home and the wraps universal he saw alleged all again, bang lobby may been de la la, la john, madam of willie, a vice squan village. they walked so that the young generation can run. i'm talking about peace square. the heat may come from nigeria that inform the young people all
