do it on the 77 percent. sure. this is where we tackle the important issues affecting the lives of africa's youth. i'm one 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 tells us this, the register dog. and we visit 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 peace and love everybody. my name is kelly a rapport and human rights activist, one of the gambia with africa as gambia from a context has been living into the 2 years of dictatorship under the eye of damaging yeah, demos with restricted autism media. and people from speak enough in general, artist also may be tested for 2 or face an exam such as i did. and today we're going to go around and see what the bottom part is off when it comes to hip hop rap music. and it's affiliation with politics. if you are ready, let's go facing him for light and what's your take on hip hop and politics?

me and in want put it takes if the bar but don't have to say that. wow, i always say that 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 we're going to about politics. politics. avoiding yourself, whether you're right, when you have to say something that goes, how can people, you don't look into the eyes. he just hit the nail and head. you're going to say true. so when they like, it doesn't prove when somebody like me speaks it out. the whole country will head fax, so i'm not a type of person that will talk with that kind of get a minute. 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 on what molly don't then on and all that. and when it comes to god via the light on kill ace with thought about on the song pole to walk to get it. just don't buy you respect with we coming up. we have to do the same thing or even try to move more gained or we cannot. but then i think guardians don't really understand the concept of an artist speaking out for them. i think most guardians know people that walk

under government and all that. so when you speak out against them, they took a person, i didn't have that feel like i've never done that. i've never, there's not a problem that they could personally. no, they're going to think like you're speaking to them. when that is not that you're speaking for them, think it is our responsibility to always speak out for the people even if they don't wanna do, even if they don't want you to do that for them yet. and i think it's our responsibilities to be so. yeah, who's with the beautiful streets of calling around to send the gambia forest area. and thank you so much for inviting us, lena. what's 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. they give us a voice to just get out and want to know that population can. 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 to just come together so. so

thanks so much and thank you for having a really, really appreciate it. thank you. kilo 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, even 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 center gauze 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 with you simply never had the courage to become a rep. has a woman. the stereotype was that female rappers were woman 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. a music once everything to me, i gave up everything for magic, for lab music, me easy, crazy 1st album explore self confidence and equality incentive goals. male dominated rap. seen paula, my 1st lyric is i smoke you and your mc. basically when i arrive, i take no prisoners or playful, keeps in my own destiny. i'll be thrown every one. so you see me cross to 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 him,

but my dad could not accept it. he let my brother app because he was a boy in chapel hill. no. despite the misgivings even kept passage and off the school wrapping became her korea. but the move took its toll. her marriage fell apart when her in laws couldn't to accept her profession. and the trappings that came with it, 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. she members of my own family objected to the music like this every way for me. they don't even crazies bars and 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 wallach jolla or mundane get whenever

there's a problem, people ask where they ought 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. oh, news and world events are covered in friend, and many are left uninformed. he's so powerful. best of all, though easy, crazy has found her place in synagogues, music scene earned the respect of appears, and she's here to stay. mila whole on up to day. we female rappers are not treated as an auditor. this is because they are more of us. i think the next generation will be even more at home and the wraps. you know. i live on a game bang. lobby may been monday, really a right. they walked for that the young generation can. ron, i'm talking about peace square. the heat may come from nigeria that and for the
