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 as if us fellow at his slime use against policy as full in flight nigeria, the legendary tween and drop dual p square. tell the 50 foot just startled and revisit the inch and safety dip in the sahara table. 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 what human rights activist from the gap to west africa as gambia from a context has been given, include a few years of dictatorship under the idea of damaging yeah, them as we do, we took the autism media and people from speaking up in general, our 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 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 gambia you see that a lot of boxes 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 work, but it takes a wedding assaults. so i wouldn't go right when you have to say something that goes out to the people. you don't look into the item, you just hit the nail and hit nothing. you're going to say, so what did they like? it on the proof that somebody like me speaks it out of control when i hit fax, so i'm not a type of person who is joe with that kind of different the thanks a lot of time to be easy as somebody who has been there for the people what's,

what's going on, the topic of hip hop being affiliated with politics, the music and always the news to the expression decent. and a great political activism. lifting the likes of money don't let on, and all that. and when it comes to going to the. busy the like a case with 400 bucks on the phone for boxing. get it done by you professor that we come in. hopefully i can do the same to even try again to reconnect but then. but then i think i'm going to be in don't really understand that the kinds of both i'm an artist speaking out for them. and i think most guardians know people that

work on the government and all that. so when you speak out against me, they took the person, i think sometimes i feel like i know going out the daughter of a there's not a lot that is a problem. that ticket personally know 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 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 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 pick music. because for me, i'm like politic and music goes to get me. as we musicians, we have the voice that give us the voice to just spit out. and once you know that local conditions can do, yeah. so for us we are here for the population here for the voiceless, and we

a here phoning youth. and so empower people, especially as an artist that does a lot of social songs, especially 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 journal fight and another journal because you've been a one kind of musician people. i mean like okay, kind of a 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 escaped. yeah, to spit out some people waste can't to say what is in their hearts and let's just do everything and try to just come together. thank you so, so what's the thing? so wasn't a to thank you for happy, 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 without fear or 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, drop us in west africa, take a look, a, it's a hot night 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 of sending goals. few female rapids, the assembly never had the courage to become a rep as a woman. the stereotype was that female rep is where a 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 reps seen for 10 years. and rap is her passion to work and life music and everything to me. i gave up everything for magic music it is easy. crazies 1st album explore self confidence and equality in senegal is male dominated rep, seen my 1st lyric is a smoke you and all your m c sounding. basically, when i arrive, i take no prisoners, a play for keeps, and my own destiny. i'll de thrown everyone. so you'll see me cross 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 see that the the name,

but my dad could not accept it. he let my brother app because he was a boy to get full sale. despite the misgivings even kept pass it and off the school wrapping became her career. but the move took its toll 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. it's like this every way to eat 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 the local languages like 1 of july for monday and get

to whenever there's a problem, people ask where the autism does suppose to sing about the 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 too. many are left uninformed, devoted more useful, powerful festivals, though easy, crazy has found her place and set goals, music scene, in the respect of appears. and she's here to stay. mila who will not be in today. we female rep is, are not treated as an audit. inefficient because they are more of us. so i think the next generation will be even more at home and the reps seen and i so a, so i landed on again, bang hobby may been, they loudly simpler. don't want them to put a price on the less they walked. so the young generation can run. i'm talking about the square. the heat may goes from nigeria that and for the young people,

all of africa with heat like so my morning, the pulse 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 know the lines by hot v. p square is on the 77 percent. we met them to do and he put dual on the tool in germany. they tell us how important it is to be vocally 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,
