to. yeah. and it's doing you words also. mm hm. so yeah, it's been very exciting. well as what c o p in your proof of rubrics of the both of them all enjoy was a box to song. this only is really different for me. uh when uh, i use a new new might. would you move your you for a new the about lyrics your invitation. i was with you on was these would be helpful. no, you're good. oh, i do go watch it big. yeah, i'm on the 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 are full or you can go after we used to be a deal. 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 say to deliver a temporary good. so when you say i'm a pre owned one last, i kind of maybe agree with you because it will continue, falls into something even bigger. let me tell you that much in march you said the crowd is at the i for these i can not hate on it. i love it. it's amazing all the arch instead of when you have been kidding it. but if you're asked to choose one, it's not a choice. the i won't be on the to 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 a for me. oh good. that's what i grew up all my siblings, my family, everything and movies. mm hm. 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 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? everybody's here compared to just been showing the african music is taking over the well, 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 have? oh, but take king is africans like in the world of music? i think the thing where lies brands. bethany is moody over time, but we are definitely overtaken the water and you're from the caribbean. we are overtaking the roads for an interest in iceland. ok, we're listen to room 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 our for be that i'm of you. okay. yeah. and you'll 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, no decided, you know, yeah. you know, people, i think more than anything in the crowd i was hearing language is i don't know what makes me, but the more than anything of the community tell the story in the applicant. we haven't had the upbringing so yeah. really connects us as the 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, no big data on these across the day. and then it's events like are for nation that are sort of the fact that no penetrates international markets do the most indeed the confidence. yup. and at the beginning of the for a nation, i mean this is happening in europe. right. and we had token 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 card would be better. yeah. we should look more into penetrating that person to try different efforts and, you know, mean lots. how many times a sense i'm of the i know live you're a big boy. let's integrate a whole lot of yes. and the odds is more than anything else. yeah. you got everything all the time. yeah. but do you think we should also do something, you know, if you go for sure. yeah, yep. go for them to see how true true new ctbc. yeah. are you? um, if our phone is, is uh we do not see it for sure. now to you i have you spoke of a 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 progress. well mm hm. where says this only like this one and i think one in america. yeah. yeah. and there's not a lot of argue so i can go to those 2 so we can have more, maybe more small than upcoming artist, have a chance to go on stage and showcase what they've got. okay, there you have, it's 77 percent as it's happening. it up for the, i'll probably use the to the well, there is no competition that 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 a 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 long beast of to 4 minutes is coming up. yeah. i can say i like, you know, of course we do easy, but to me on how is wanting to use my influence so that i can test and from the telling that go get me to use it in a nice way so that i can invest a different thing and of those things can be one of the tools to support all the power they use. so i have to say the magician 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 if i said that, right? yeah, i need to split it. yeah. so it wasn't really a he but he didn't use the same day as you've got the day you, i today,

i mean you uh, an icon. when comes to music, what advice can you give to the african youth every time? remember that it always looks impossible until then. sometimes you may have a vision that you have to meet with people that are in the same. you have that city . don't expect everybody to understand to the left 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 the menu and sell them on platinums. only explicit is happening here and dw d 7 to some interesting stage. they say music is the universal language that transcends borders and cultures. but when it comes to the battle 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 forbids 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. but somebody just include germany and yes, what people told her. so i was calling for an asian also as 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 put everything, i'm a piano, which one do you enjoy the most? oh, no, no, no, i'm only on. okay. after i've had to really, i'd bring the boys up to be an exception if they're not 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 2 weeks now? and i am already little bit 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 hear a regular phones and you just do, it has a unique sound to it. and

a lot of people are even using a most 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 movie did it is another, not them. but i knew that. but i'm going to have to be like a fine 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 here, is this step further i have to enjoy and so, but i like that. how far can you go looking for your favorite artist? at the summer time festival photo went on quite the treasure hunt, and guess for who the african giant himself burned. a boy who else talk 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 the boy. and that is if you 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 ad. and here to we're going to try, we're welcome. try not is a huge space, so come around with us. let's see how we go. which is good, not try and see if this is really going to be possibly 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 will have to put the effort in time. yeah, i'm so excited and i lost him so much bernabei we love you to see i don't know if there to want to see him out. what would you do want to see

this is bad things and it's very much restricted that spark over the is where the artist or od bernabite is 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 where the ways they're trying or look to see the moment of this is because they know that everybody can see like um they just trying to play everyone around here very soon, while you can see the mom is the one with that 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,

birthdays going on the stage and it's going to perform what matters. so 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, and i think that it was somewhat successful. it says a 100 and wow, burn a boy 10 shortly before. but did you know that the african child is from the city in nigeria, which is also home to superstars? like most the easy to my and all my late. that is puerto court. i hope it's artist wizard. china takes us on an exciting journey to his city known for its rich
