yes. so there is a stage down there which is i'm a piano and then just right here is um the lead stage they call it is full of forbids. yeah. is do you think that is a good idea? it, 1st of all, i didn't do things because there are 2 different fonts and they both do have the same as you know, as i'm going to. so i for getting them a good bias. i have been camped on the other side for the piano, but i'm moving to enjoy the sounds and just something you to listen to. yeah. and it's doing you words. oh sorry. mm hm. so yeah, it's been very well of what c o p and you're prepared for roots of the both of them all enjoy was about the song. this only is really different for me. uh when uh, i use a new new might. would you move the new the about lyrics your invitation? i was with you on was these would be helpful?

no you're, i don't want to big. yeah, i'm glad i'm with my friends. the ever be good. yeah. well, the reason why i do it is a little move listed to me either are full or you can go up to be a deal. yes. a lot. you said it was off like 2 hours. yeah. but we didn't do it temporary or not. your friend just say to deliver a temporary good. so when you say i'm a pre on the one last, i kind of maybe agree with you because it will continue, falls into something even bigger. let me tell you that much and merge. you said the crowd is at the i for a brief, i can not hate on it. i love it. it's amazing. all the options that have been here . i 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 blocks tough for me. i listened to both what for different types of settings. i like listening to. i'm a piano and i 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 compared to 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 affirmation, what have you got say about that?

do you think we are? oh, but a king is applicants like in the world of music? i think the thing with that is burns physically is moody over time, but we are definitely overtaken the water and you from the caribbean. we are overtaking the routes for an interest in iceland. ok, we're listen to remo on the radio in iceland, out of 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 traveling and you have someone from john or you 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 the, i don't know what they say, but the more than anything of the community and tell the story in the applicant,

we haven't had the upbringing. so yeah, you connect says every people and i think the lovely. yeah, i think for me the key thing is we finally gave the confidence to get into the space. i've been for a long time on these across the day. and then it's events like our for nation that are sort of the fact that no penetrates international markets do 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 their big, biggest called would be better. yeah. we should look more into penetrate. you know, try different african countries, you know, mean lots of freebies. there's so many times a sense. i'm a piano and it's you're a big boy. let's integrate

there you have it's 77 percent as it's happening it after the i'll probably use the to the well, there is no competition. the, it's all about african vibes in african using say to you guys, how strongly can you spell 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 i love of the explanation festival you in agree, but every autos comes with it a game. and so does our next guest, diamond customs, why not? is as because shining music icons known for his electrifying performances, mtv, even named to best effect connect several times. but to, 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, a taste we're going to 7 percent as we are back against you and the information 2020 for the inputs and outputs you go. guess we have right now. the man himself

only explicit 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 it's best. but this new kid on the block i'm up here . i know is taking the music scene by store and leaving many die hard fans of i for pete's conflict that 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. but some of the jump 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 people here as well. so i probably think i'm a piano, which one do you enjoy the most? oh, wow. i don't know. i'm over yonder. oh, good. yeah. so i've had a really burden. i believe. i probably yes,

but it is an exception. he's the piano. of course, of course i went over all of it is hard because i started with applebees and then i learned about the auto and is it just in 2 weeks now? and i and i am already low that a little more now. 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 a regular song 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 probiotic. oh, do you usually follow the most? and then music is abuse. so applebee's, i like article or go, i think, oh, you know, good news, the 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,
