4:38 pm
just being done. so if you get some want to get to the good gets to see some of these feel free. no payment. and um, basically yeah, yeah, that's all about it. enough talking, can we see some decimals? yeah, so you just it 1234. step 44, and by then 4 and back. uh huh. your hands the uh huh. 1234, then open and close. so we're going to be returning to the dance as in just a shotwell, but let's leave nairobi for a 2nd to see what's happening in the heart of africa. congo, the country has been home to legendary music artists like pop a when. but i'm finding you pupa. and now they've a new roof in town. tingling belong to me. i took the key. she has a base group, produces some familial applicant sounds, but use of unfamiliar instruments like the tone before. remember he will. these guys make the instruments from scrap and the result is something that you go
4:39 pm
the one month's trust is another man's treasure. or in this case, a musical instrument can shift. so music group can go look in the alta, makes music with things they find on the streets of the mega city. caustic book tools, attendance designed to find as a single string to tom made from attend come. and the congress of a no tv such as a bass drum buffet. they can just so yeah, there's a trend in contrast to knowing that we're musicians a go look. but they're also visual artists who make costumes out of trash cans collected in the streets would be the one in the rivers. well, it's a kind of appeal electronic one ecological message equation telling people not to throw cans and so on into the gutters. because it can clog them well, you can take them and do something with them you like or just recycle them really pulling the off. i'm taking it shows it be nice eclipse. even in the scorching,
4:40 pm
often in some the members settled to the treasure home through the streets. and it's not long before they find something they can use this styrofoam here done. i can put it in a bass drum. it makes it kicks on. deepest is like in rock music for an electronic music walk, a little fridge into them. i just picked up a string for my but i had a problem with my base, a string broke in the middle of the concert. so when i was out on the street, i found one, and now i can replace said, go to do that. i can go look in the out. this music has inspired by the read to logical vision. this she had a touring america in germany, performing the unique blend of music with a unique instruments. well, what lovely sounds though, we heard from chester, but we're back in a row beach. perfect to a dance move. and i want to continue this conversation with joshua associated with
4:41 pm
you. good. hi. uh, so we're back and i just wanted to ask you something, you know, i know you told me that money is not the motivation for why you're doing this. so if this is not your source of income, what is so full and file we do have our own studio. we, i buy it, we are fully committed there. that's where we teach people like our permanent people. well, now we can check them. definitely, all i'm comfortable on the tip top not is, you know, take a page, throw this uh, influencing the brands on the or to them. so it does swell. uh, stream of money comes from the, i mean you, you sound very organized, but i wonder, do you feel that the government is supporting you as creative in this industry? so to me that up supporting us in one percent like the states, they've given us a chance to do a on the live activities sick. and they've given us like platforms well by. you'll be given access to go perform in cultural events. but looking at the future, not just of dancing, but of creativity in general,
4:42 pm
and young people who just want to be in the us. what do you think the government can do better, or what would you wish to? um for me, what to do, i would want government to do or to suggest for them is to create a uh, on santa web i they kind of employed these youths. okay. so for now we, we cannot uh deal with them on. so for us, it's so hard on those or you find downsize, a no deductible on it, you might find the school dropouts. so this would be an opportunity to teach them fine on. so you know this most more things that people don't know. so because we don't have a done center yet and we on the streets, which is why we done, should we continue with that? my, my lessons. okay. the one i did the,
4:43 pm
the guys thank you so much put you to me here and there will be, we say i'm a quarter to 2, which means i'm still very rough around the edges, but that's okay. you know who isn't though these incredible breakdown. so it's from godaddy one to apparently they have some really good ones. and the best part is the also inclusive of a look. i remember them, we, i, they, i school, buddy. i say guy was doing doing this rick done stuff. been from dallas like was this looks cool and then i was like just to try it before i started because i was cool. but then i me thing guys from campbell, they were asking me which of those? so i was sure this is someone spinning the other one was spinning on his buck. so
4:44 pm
it's like if you find me the breakdown, that's the stuff that you know from the us music feed used underground people, but it was the ship's. the 1980s dunphy. what is also called the fascination of done so i think you got the money memorial and you got them, but i like so by god it's phone is the computer internationally started yet one breakdowns festival. well this to have a few hurdles to overcome. that can be so good or you can send to a ink, you gotta use the school to alex and i'm on a have 3 is for the cleaning to be boys and vehicles from. you can most experienced census everybody when you're starting to break it. it's the kind of introduction for yourself, like your, this is me and i'm here at the floor. you know? so it's uh, i'll say the plus plus plus the steps that you have to do stuff for you to, julie said i missed on this. we are owners here at the youth center to walk, to gain more experience. but that's all what we love to dance,
4:45 pm
that is part of us. what is freeform? the bows lends itself to just about everybody. i mean 2019 the crew started encourage in different edwards today. something to do like it would be nice and to move in the looking for people is that people in the streets, you know, some of the big on the streets does what i just the stage in the, in the home without going any way. uh, what's, what's supposed to be a month close ended up with this tablet spent of the class have done school and if the some of the keys, golly, brick insightful festivals. they, they, they perform a movie performance. every one was still in people cried, that's it. for the 2 i chose does full 3 reasons. one, it is to up. you take, you know much too much. sometimes when i take too long without doing sports and dance,
4:46 pm
my buddy's defense. and i've also gained confidence and self esteem before i was too shy to perform in front of people. but because of dance, i am no longer afraid. that's in their new. once the alexa, the money organized, picking kindly breaking cycle festival, which includes stem cells from all over the world for the dentist activities. aaron's only confines to the one that competitions outside is tough. we got introduced them to another level of breaking was breaking. some can see that's way good, like it shows to cover for the 1st time in china. does this the boys in, you know, for the idea and they, when i was going to compete with min. so it was, yeah, i was no bus. but i said, yeah, i know i do that thing, but i'm going to presenting yolanda so and this stuff big guy flags the i have with the do my best lawanda has no official breakdown situation. and so,
4:47 pm
while breakdowns this stuff, it's making his debut at olympics, entering to 24. these sensors weren't able to compete for the qualifies for the team. i work into what's making that happen in future. i think this is the right time for africa, you know, from someone to load them up that these folks is now resolved. renee's 10 different durations if they're working, the government comes in so that there is a big move main general. so it means every, every, the boy has that need to be in that stage in the will be and they uh, confidence that goal is done. so it's have both the talent and the we will to make it so i think we can all agree that those are some pretty cool dads moves from the guy lead. i wish i could. i'm not going to embarrass. i felt that was pretty cool. but if the guy he has incredible breakdown, says nairobi has talented photographers and the somewhat in the city, they actually, as i understand it here every day to try and get an income by photographing people
