laura and it's my pleasure to have you here. this week's episode is all about the power of music via she let us fellow i to slide music into policy as full in flight that julian legendary. we dropped dual p square. tell the 50 foot to start and revisit the engine safety. dip in the sahara stapleton, the let me take you over to the dumb via with wrapping legend and political icons to that is talks to fellow musicians about what makes music so powerful. the various musicians gave us the perspective on the importance of people and politics and the how it empowers the use and god bins in general, peace and love everybody. my name is kind of

a rap why and human rights activist from the gap here west africa as gambia from a context has been given, include a few years of dictatorship under the agenda region. yeah, jim is with team restrictive autism, media, and people from speaking up in general, our disposal for major risk of being arrested for kids or face in excel such as i did. and today we're going to go around and see what the cost of part is off when it comes to hip hop rap music. and it's affiliation with politics. if you already, let's go the thinking, well, let him look for inviting us. what's your take on hip hop and politics mean and flat? politics is the body backbone. people always say, wow,

i would say that and that's, that's very interesting. because in the you see that a lot of the office feel like they should not be associated. because one is probably bad for the image, or it's not perceived well by the people what kind of work, but it takes it all, it takes the yourself. so what are your rights? when you have to say something that goes out to the people, you don't look into the item, then you just hit the nail and hit nothing. you're gonna say true. so when do i get on the proof? read somebody like me speaks it out. not comfortable with his stocks, so i'm not a type of person that go with that kind of different things. the thanks a lot of time to be easy as somebody who has been able to people. what's your thoughts on the topic of hip hop being affiliated with pilot picks the music and

what was the news to the expiration decent and a great political activism, lifting the likes of a lot of money don't let on and all that. and when it comes to going to the. busy the light of a case with 400 bucks on the phone for work. so you get this done by you professor that we come in. hopefully i can do the same to even try more gain to reconnect but then, but then i think i'm gonna be in don't really understand that the concept of um an audi speaking out for them. and i think most guardians know people that work under government and all that. so when you speak out against me, they took a personal thing. sometimes i feel like i'm the daughter of a there's not

a lot that is a problem. that ticket personally, no. going to think like you use listening 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 want to do any. they don't want you to do that for them yet. and i think it's our responsibilities to do so. yeah, we're hey, in the beautiful states of cooling around to send the gambia forest area. and thank you so much for inviting us. let me know what your thoughts on this particular topic. i don't say it's like a bad thing, being a musician at the same time doing the politic music. because for me, i'm like politic and music goes to get me. as we musicians, we have the voice, give us the voice to just spit out. and once you know that before permission can do, yeah, so for us, we are here for the population here for the voiceless. and we are here for the youth and to empower people, especially as an artist that does a lot of social songs and destiny in the advocacy for the empowerment of women in

the gambia. like what haven't been the challenges politically that to see has been handling what to do. it's another channel fight and another journey because you've been one commission people i've been like. okay. so kind of the musician, a woman's place is in the kitchen house, having the kids and taking care of your husband and stuff like that. but clean the mission. and being a woman, i think is more powerful than anything since that we're in so called democracy. do you really believe that that can change with women? like you could have the confidence to speak up? i'm glad i was no fear. of course, of course it can change a lot because we we escape. yeah. to spit out some people ways can to say what is in their hearts and let's just do everything peacefully and try to just come together think so. so what's the thing so wasn't going to be really, really appreciate it. thank you to let is now some people

may be afraid to speak out, but this show is where we young people speak out with old fia all favor and we're about to meet another young person doing exactly set for music set of goals. roxanne has a new kid on the block, easy, crazy, has broken through and is leading the charge of women, drop us in west africa, take a look. it is so hot to night and saw the coastal town you sent a goal is capital dot com and wrap up easy, crazy is putting up the stage. it's been a long road to this breakthrough for one of senate goals. few female rapids. the assembly never had the courage to become a rep as a woman. the stereotype was that female rep as well. woman who dressed like men, what genes that smoked, blah, blah, blah. we were marginalized in that easy. easy, crazy has been on the center calls rep, same for 10 years,

and rap is her passion to work. and life music means everything to me. i gave up everything financially capable of music. easy crazies 1st album explore self confidence and equality incentive goals. male dominated rep, seen my 1st lyric is a smoke you and all your mc standing. basically when i arrive, i take no prisoners, a play for keeps and my own destiny. i'll be thrown everyone. so you've seen the class to his music runs deep and her family easy. crazy remembers how she started writing lyrics and wrapping with her brother, one that we use boxes and bottles to lay down beats. after that, i wanted to wrap my brother to use the that'd be the name, but my dad could not accept us to let my brother app because he was a boy to get full. so,

despite the misgivings even kept pass it and off to school wrapping became her career. but the move took its toll. her marriage fell apart when her in laws couldn't accept her profession. and the trappings that came with it to see the family was very religious. and it just wasn't a great fit with my music career. it wasn't just my in laws, members of my own family objected to the music like this every wasteful super easy 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 local languages like 1 of july for monday and get to whenever there's a problem, people off where the artist, the 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 french and many are left uninformed to go to more useful power cool festival though easy, crazy has found her place. and so now goals, music, scene, and the respect of abuse, and she's here to stay mila all or not. today, we female raptors are not treated as an auditor inefficient because they are more of an awful lot. i think the next generation will be even more at home and the reps you and, and i so a, so i landed on again, bang hobby may been, they loudly simpler. don't want them to put a 5 on the less they walked. so the young generation can run, i'm talking about the square, the heat makers from nigeria that and for the young people, all of africa with heat like so my morning, the pulps does who's falls mid mania and people move on the bottom floor. this

cause brought together many couples. i mean, these men made the young men less shy because they noticed the lines by hot to the peace. quit is on the 77 percent. we met the julian, he put dual on the tool in germany. they tell us how important it is to be vocal when he comes to politics in the country. the tools will speak about how music plays a role in empowering the youth. let them into the stage the they've been back together for a while now and but today we have them here on dw the 77 percent. so hi guys, how are you doing? good, thank you. i for the size of the home. are you guys doing now guys elections just

over a major? yeah, you was sold for co about young the germans and getting their voice id and making use of it was so important for you. um, personally for me i will tell you guys that the um, the contract has been going to a lot and be part of people and i grew up to 90 and the so 5 to 9 june system. and so how you just look back, i would start doing a set of lights on the title keys. gonna buy a keys, a good, a bunch of the same thing was to tell you now if it is going to difficult everybody and you don't want to leave and i'm sure that's what the sins on the card jack black stopped by me is just and what it just wants to leave because of the bond health condition. and the whole system is not the, the economy is bad and low to separate into contract. so everybody else wants drivers who we are the ones that travel outside of the country. we knew what was seen, we knew what the country is like, and i'm not saying this politicians don't travel under the seat. saw how that's

what it called them using pull, but as a weak one, i'm using it as a whip on. that's what when you buy electron comes, it's all about bringing into money to buy info to buy people. so we're not trying to imagine to people not doing a new. you guys actually missing a lot. it doesn't losing a lot. we need to, to, to change when you some with something new i think, but let me just see what i thought of the old system. mm hm. so let me tell you, that was why we're big. we become very welcome africa to as on africa mostly. and you still attended the government is not supported is the biggest thing in the world right now for pete or the big thing and june became becoming known as which our music of coal. but the government that the image of our publication backups, our government know before when we travel up, we travel around the world with tony. when people see us before you actually we

have you, what are you from africa? print off of africa. well, no, i'm proud to sit and enjoy bet, pressing that. think about i'm sure if you, if you count top 50 musicians in africa, they have insurance for that. we have to be vocal. i'll try to put you in good music, but something is wrong. there's nobody there like all the same, but there was about going to some individuals. some group of people might not like it, but we have to speak. no one was pick the outside world, the listen. well, these guys are good, but look at a do. but there isn't a good way that the industry have done better than the government buckle. yes. how to do that? i mean those people buy kind of picking a little people out of poverty somewhere like me. i don't know how many stops i have. no money on to right. you put the 100 stuff down to just take the 100 to the get paid from me. i didn't make money from the government and that's an inductor. i

don't have a one to government guys want me to put down. so i would leave it, they're going to ruin it. yeah. so we have to do vocal. we have mean your cell phones. and we'll look at it. we'll say listen, if we don't speak now, this is my kids are going to ask me a question. did see this big then? so what did you do? so now with that thing that my son is good on my stuff that's going to ask me. so we've done that. i'm, i'm, we're proud to, to be among those which, you know, need in the history to these guys, well, vocal irrespective of high tones up now. um the griffin up to one said music must on we can people to do their duty is citizens. and at, do you agree with that thing called up? is there because the future of what is happening and i got to is like everything from us since the past is what is happening today. right now, still in phil equity,

was it for us to record a weeds back in the d. u with only 16 to 2 a few when he died. how did he influence you with his music but also with his activities? it okay, how say, oh i know him better. well go to risk but, but that wasn't a fun. so he's music probably better than listening to it. like 10 years ago. not when i was like 1670. so i said in the seventy's, because i, that's what i said, i get it in life and what is happening in the water for the traveling out? i realize that which i took the suit on june. so richard, in this country, what is going on? why will not be, will george will not been good to, you know, good health system. i know that. so i started listening to them. i know that he has been speaking different platforms, but well, maybe people neglected. so i'm sure that's why i say our kids are going to ask us questions. what do we just we don't actually that, you know, music we have. busy the last,

it's more major. yeah. thank you. you've been for house of representatives to me and maybe some days. would we see any of you running for office or maybe president major? i don't was i was there to say for me personality. sometimes people need to understand is that because you did, you want to jump into uh, you know, yeah, you can do the job because i think politics. how do you do you, how is dotie you heart? a lot of people who are disappointed don't know people. people can never be satisfied and maybe i don't know before. now i think it's out of my system because i'm moving at, i wish i was essentially just wake up one day and say, you know what, they continued sony for the fix it. yeah. you know, that goes to that's what i'm expecting. goes out is campaigning, pregnancies, these and that, and like, what does that mean?

and you would just, one is change. just give a life would be dement, you don't just be we're just adult. imagine the security does, the security does everything, but then i hear somebody store was old and i so think be on and it's been called next 3 days, the free the business. okay. they put it as a part of the money back really. and if god was meant for room, someone was move for the roots on the route, they didn't do it. have to put that towards it up. it should be should be in jail. i think going to probably about 2 months sizing is been like more like the does it policy stay? it could have been in existence. right? no one is. no one has to be held accountable. say you did this, your costs. so what to do is does it party that to defend major pack today, and i'm sorry to be mutual one which i'm product is to good proxy before you commit

to crime the country about enjoying this particular this putting easily in party to be okay. yeah, there's been a that's what actually happened. yeah, that's what does it happen? so this period what we say, they used to say uh we, uh, 4 people know who i'm treating the new party call it but, but the name it yes live up are to several different i would say no name. it says service this, this patsy came to that just for pretend to know room. okay, the mind is running for president. press the, so show me the president. look at what is happening though. so we'd love it for the fact that we've, cuz like i said today, shit, my just i say i was among this river. we are a monk for the poor people. listen enough is enough. is getting done a way of doing it to the
