time convincing law enforcement that we are human one faithful story among many indigenous women in the us. rates and listing with all the trees. bring her home in 45, d, w. we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring use a story behind the news. we wrote about unbiased information all 3 months. the are you it wasn't my people to come a little boy, they come, i missed a few and together we a piece good. you're watching the 77 percent. oh dw, not 77 percent sort of bundle you. it's all about africa. so by advocated to me,

i do want to go best chuck my money out of those here and that's how we do it. on the 77 percent. sure. this is what we tackle the important issues affecting the lives of africa's youth. when you come, laura and it's my pleasure to have you here. this week's episode is all about the power of music. gumby. i feel that is us fellow i to slide music in $26.00 a full in flight nigeria, the legendary tween dropped dual p square. tell the 50 foot just startled and revisit the engine safety vip and the saw her off to 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 youth and god bins in general, present love everybody. my name is kind of a rap why and human rights activists from the gap here west africa, as gambia from a context has been given, include a few years of dictatorship under the idea of damaging. yeah, jim is with game restrictive autism, media, and people from speaking up in general are disposal facing major risk of being arrested for kids or face in excel such as i did. and today we're going to go around and seeing 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 bottom backbone. people always say, wow, i would say that and that's, that's very interesting. because in gambia 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, what politics, if i work but it takes, what are your thoughts? so what are your right? when you have to say something that goes out to the people, you don't look into the eyes and you just hit the nail and hit nothing. you're going to say true. so what are they like? it on the proof? read somebody like me speaks it out. now it comes from when i hit fax, so i'm not a type of person that would go with that kind of different

things. my brother is probably be easy as somebody who has been able to people what's, what's going on. the topic of hip hop being affiliated with politics, the music, and what was the news to the expression decent and a great political activism with thing, the likes of money don't let on and all that. and when it comes to going to be a, the like a case with $400.00 on the phone for the box to get it done by you professor . that could be me coming up for you. i can do the same thing or even try and i'm going to reconnect but then, but then i think um, i mean don't really understand that the concept of the artist

speaking out for them. and i think most that means no people that work on the 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 know going to think like you're used to listen 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. 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're hey, in the beautiful streets of co loading around to send the gap via for this area. and thank you so much for inviting this linda. what's your thoughts on this particular topic? i don't say it's like a bad thing, being a musician at the same time doing politic music. because for me, i'm like music and music goes to get me as we musicians, we have the boys,

they give us the voice to just spit out. and once you know that local conditions can then yeah, so for us, we are here for the population here for the voice less. and we a here for the use and so empower people supposed to be as an artist. ben does a lot of social songs, especially in the advocacy for the empowerment of women in the gambia. like what's haven't been to tell them just politically that to see has been him doing what to do. it's another channel fight and another journey because you've been a woman in the mission for, for like the like. okay, so kind of a musician, a woman's place is in the kitchen house, having the kids and taken care of your husband and stuff like that. but in 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 without no fear? of course, of course it can change a lot because we we escape. yeah, to spit out some people waste can't to say what is in their hearts. let's just do

everything peacefully and try. so just come together. so, so what's the say? so wasn't a to thank you for having a really, really appreciate it. thank you. it 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 are about to meet you and have a 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. rough as in west africa. take a look. it's so hot tonight, inside the coastal town you sent a goals, capital dot com and wrap up the crazy is putting up the stage. it's been a long road to this breakthrough for one have sent a goals few female rapids to somebody. never had the courage to

become a rep has a woman. the stereotype was that female rep is where women who dressed like men, what genes that smoked, blah, blah, blah. we were marginalized in that easy, easy, crazy, has been on the senate goals, rap scene for 10 years, and rap is her passion to work and life music and everything to me. i gave up everything financially capable of music, a good, easy crazies, 1st album, explore self confidence and equality. and center goal is male dominated rep seen while i put in my 1st clinic is a smoke u n o u m c. basically when i arrive, i take no prisoners, a play for keeps and my own destiny. i'll de thrown everyone. so use the same, the class to his music runs deep and her family easy. crazy remembers how she started writing lyrics and wrapping with her brother on 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 it to let my brother app because he was a boy to see just for despite the misgivings, if he kept pass it and off to school wrapping became her career, but the move took its toll. her marriage for the part 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 way to go 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 whenever it is a problem, people off where the option to suppose to sing about big issues so that everyone knows about them. not every say mega lees went to school, and so don't necessarily speak french. oh, news and world events are covered in friends, so many are left uninformed to the most useful, powerful festival, though easy, crazy has found her place and set goals, music scene, and the respect of abuse. and she's here to stay mila who will not be in today. we female raptors are not treated as an audits and in a recent because they are more of us. so i think the next generation will be even more at home and the rep seen. and i feel a soul is on again, bang. be made when they loudly simpler. don't want them to put

a price from 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 pulps does, who's falls mid, many young people move on the bottom floor. this has brought together many couples . i mean, these men made the young men less shy because they know the lines by hot v. p square is on the 77 percent. we met then a jury and 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 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 were so full calls about young the germans and getting their voice to id and making use of the way it was so important for you. um, personally for me i will tell you guys it towards the contracts, i'm going to a lot and being part of the people i grew up to 90 and a so 5 to 9, g r system. and so how you just little background as not telling us of like, what are your kids going to buy or kids are going to fund 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 code jack by step. i mean it's just and what it just wants to leave. because a bond health condition and the whole system is not due to the economy is bad and

load the separating the contract. so everybody else wants to drive was who we are, the ones that trouble us and according to what was seen, we knew what the country is like. and i'm not saying this politicians don't travel, undergo seat, well saw how that's what it called them using pull. but as a way and reasonable, but as we point, that's what when it, by election comes, it's all about bringing the money to buy involved to buy people. so we're not trying to imagine the people not doing a loop. you guys actually missing a lot. it doesn't losing a lot. we needed to to change when you some with something new, i think, but let me just say without them the old system. mm hm. so let me tell you that was why we're, we become very welcome africa to as i'm african mostly, and in june, still attended, the government is not supported. the biggest thing in the world right now for pete or the big thing in june, became becoming known as what you, our music of coal. but for the government that the image

of our publication back of 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? britain? office, 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've tried to put you in during our music, but something is wrong. there's nobody there like all the same, but the bar code to some individual. 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 it is, but there's a look at it. how is it the industry have done better than the government buckle?
