to. yeah. and if you knew words, oh sorry. mm hm. so yeah, it's been very exciting. well, what's your opinion, your profile for weeks of the both of them all enjoy was a box to song. there's only really different for me. uh when uh, i use a new new might. would you move the new, the about lyrics, your innovation as with your it is would be helpful to go with the i don't want to big. yeah, i'm glad i'm with my friends. the are good. yeah. well, the reason why we do it is a little move us it to me either. i full or you can go up and go to be

a piano. yes. a fee that she said it was off like 2 hours. yeah. but we need to bring up a temporary or not your friend just a to deliver a temporary again. so when you set them up for you on the one last, i kind of maybe agree with you because it will continue to fall into something even bigger. let me tell you that much and margie said the crowd is at the road, which i cannot hate on it. i love it. it's amazing. all the options that have been, you know, have been kidding it. but if you're asked to choose one, it's not a choice. the i won't be on the well, they are kidding you. that side. they are kidding. okay. yeah. and i, i'm sure she, i agree with, you know, i'm actually a part of the upper base. oh good. that's what i grew up all my siblings, my family. everything of movies. mm. i like the, i know, but my, my heart's blocks just for me. i listened to both what for different types of settings. i like listening to. i'm up here. i don't want to have to really focus

because of the be a really does get you that. yeah. but i am caribbean the so there's a closer connection to the offer. okay. and i do right here. thing can you can give him what's your opinion? here's the thing with a everybody's here, just been joined. the african music is taking over the world. i mean, it's making with, it's not just africans yet. i've spoken to americans, i've spoken to jamaicans. this is the after nation. whatever you good say about that, do you think we have? oh, but a king is up against, like in the world of music powers here. those be. i think the thing where lies brands, pheasant is moody over time, but we are definitely overtaken the water and you from the caribbean. we are overtaking the roads for an interest in iceland. ok, we're listen to remo on the radio and i send out an all the places in the world. eric eric. iceland. hm. they're basically, you know, black people there,

but we still got that for you. okay. yeah. and you see the crowd is all different races all the ages. yeah. come on. we are. we're yeah. why do you think african music as reason? the past? i think more than anything like she said, it's a community, you know, it tells the story when you're travelling and you had someone from gun and you're like, oh my god, the side is, you know? yeah. you know, people, i think more than anything in the crowd i was hearing language is i don't know what they say, but the more than anything, it's community you tell the story in the applicant we haven't had the upbringing so yeah. really connects us as a people and i think the lovely. yeah, i think for me the key thing is we finally gave the confidence into the space. i've been for a long time, no big data on these across the day. and then it's events like effort nation that is sort of the fact that know that you need to trace international markets to the most. indeed the confidence. yeah. and at the beginning of the nation, i mean,

this is happening in europe, right. and we're talking of africa, african music. do you think this could also rock or? i mean go big enough. you guys it's to happen in one of the african countries. oh, definitely. i think for sure. i definitely think they're big, biggest called would be better. yeah. we should look more into penetrates to try different african spencer, you know, mean lots of freebies. there's so many kinds of things that i must be. i know live. you're a big ball. it ends up right. a whole lot of years. and the odds is more than anything else. yeah. you bought everything onto yeah. but do you think we should also do something in africa? for sure. yeah, yep. go for them to see how true true. new ctbc. yeah. are you? um, if our phone is in uh we do not see it for sure. now to you i have you spoke of upcoming uh 2. so i mean that type some have not even made it to these big stages

in all. what do you think should be done to ensure that it least we embrace and actually look for all that? tell him that is he didn't even africa. i think i agree with with you guys are saying that we should have one festival in the for guess. well mm hm. where says this only like this one and i think the one in america. yeah. yeah. and there's not a lot of argues that can go to those 2 so you can have more, maybe more small than upcoming artist. uh, have a chance to go on stage and showcase what they've got. okay, there you have it's 77 percent as interpreting it up for the i'll probably use the to the well, there's no competition. the, it's all about african vibes in african using say to you guys have some of the, at least the participants in that debate could agree that both genres of great to listen to regardless because that's what matters right. now if you're in love of

the explanation festival, you would agree, but every autos comes with it a game. and so does our next guest, diamond customs. why not? is us because shining music icons know what he's electrifying performances, mtv, even named him best as a connect several times. but the to know that he's also in a suit business man, and has a passion for helping young people. you don't believe me. let's hear from the man himself, the hey, 77 percent as we are back against you and the f for nation. 2020 for the inputs and outputs you go. guess we have right now. the man himself who just brought the house down to just vice. everybody was screaming as you get from the stage, it's none other than diamond platinum stay more. thank you so much for joining. thank you. thank you. there was an amazing performance. they appreciate how do you feel performing? and the information i know is a good thing, a bar formation is just that it brings every nation in here,

between being and i to use here he enough for admission. i know you have a long beast of just one minutes is coming up. i can say i let you know, of course we do need to get back to me on our is wanting to use my influence. very positive so that i can test him from the tell him that go get me to use it in a nice way so that i can, there's 2 different things. and of those things can be one of the tools to support all the power they use. so i have to say the nutrition professional set a guessing 2 different businesses and then employee different use, you know, when we look at you, we read about you following your journey, your 50 to us to come one. so i don't need to say that right? uh, even though it split. yeah. so it wasn't really

a he but he didn't use the same day as you've been j u i today. i mean you an icon when it comes to music, what advice can you give to the african youth every time? remember that it always looks impossible until it's done. sometimes you may have a vision that you have to move your people never understand. you have that sitting . don't expect everybody to understand to laugh, to like to follow or to be happy with whatever that you're feeling like, oh you want to do that you heavy too heavy from dominion. sells them on platinums. only exclusive is happening here. when dw d 7 to some interesting stations, they say music is the universal language that transcends borders and cultures. but when it comes to beto between effort feats and i'm a piano, it is hard to choose which one hits best, but this new kid on the block i'm up here. i know is taking the music scene by storm. i'm leaving many die hard fans of i feel conflicted. i myself and still

undecided. so to settle this back to once and for all my colleagues by tomorrow she headed to another music festival. this time, the summit jumped in close germany and yes, what people told her. so i was calling for an asian also asked some of the africans or just some people attending. what did we find out for a beat? so i'm a piano. so i'm going to ask the people here as well. so i put everything, i'm a piano, which one do you enjoy the most? the balls i don't know. i'm over yonder. okay. after i've had a really burden, i believe i probably but it is. an exception is the piano, of course, of course i went over all of it is hard because i started with applebees and then i learned them off the auto and is it just in 2 weeks now? and i am already low that a little more though. i don't, i don't know, i'm still i still try to figure it out because i have to rely on i try to be way to like everybody. everybody is using it now. so even if you do,

you hear regular phones and you just do, it has a unique sound to it and a lot of people are even using. i'm not sure which one i'm a piano or a forbid are to, oh do you usually follow the most and then music? just a few. oh so applebee's i like article or go. i think, oh, you know, good news is, i don't need it is another, not of the but i'm going to have a be applied african, it's all things africa. you operate levels active is that this is a step and that's all right, because i don't need to think that nobody like media must thinking about a problem. i'm work, i'm yeah, that's, that's what i have to enjoy and, but i like that. how far can you go looking for your favorite artist at the summertime festival photo went on quite the treasure hunt. and guess for who the african giant himself burned a boy who else for to had a really hard time looking for him. and so did his friends, but let's see how this hunt with and what it takes to see burn to boys. and that is

issue eventually do. so i feel that summer time certainly 24. and one thing you need to know is that for the policy, as we've been trying to get the big mind himself, learn a boy, it's becoming almost impossible to get just this one act. i'm here to, we're going to try. we're welcome. try that is a, he's page, so come around with us. let's see how he goes. we're just going not try and see if this is really going to be possible or not. we're still trying to get him. hopefully we do the i think it's the, it's a long search. have you seen burnable? no, no. do you? i don't think you can even see. yes. of course. yeah. we were to for the effort in time. yeah, i'm so excited and i lost him so much bernabei. we love you. you're the one to

a nice evening. we are looking for a man. this is by stage of this. this is bad things and it's very much restricted that sparkle where that is, where the artist or od bernabite supposed to look inside them. and of course, you can see that they also guard into place as you can see um this is a very secure place. what ways they're trying or look to see the moment of it is because they know that everybody can see, like, they just trying to play everyone around here very soon. while you can see the mom is the one with that right here coming, approaching, going to approach this page. and when you see barnett's mom knows that the show is about to go down. and of course, she always has to make sure that everything is safe and secure from what i see, it looks like the mine does not even walk to go to the stage. he's getting the car, he's not even walking down the car. this is very interesting. that's the big mind himself going up there on the stage. and as you can see,

this is almost impossible to access. but right now, very nice going on the stage and he's going to perform. we met us, what i just joined. i see how that's going to look the up my last name. now we're seeing him now. so we're going to just go home now and say good bye. but in, during the summer time, i think that was a somewhat successful treasure hunt. and wow, burner boykin shortly. performed, but did you know that the african giant is from the city in that area, which is also home to superstars like most, the easy to my and all my late. that is puerto court, a beach artist whizzer, china takes us on an exciting journey to his city,
