Musicians from all over africa explain how the 19 tracks. Now lets get the ball rolling in kenyas capital nairobi due to the pandemic the citys on very carefully between 9 pm and 5 pm obviously this affects the cities and tie on mike life for those who want to go out lights clubs are closed. Working doing the night like taxi drivers food. And sex workers are finding it difficult to make a living every one either cmon he stepped out of nights to find out what they have to say on a typical saturday night in nairobi you might find yourself in traffic and thats probably from people who are trying to get to events or maybe to a club before happy hour ends and that industry the Service Industry has been deeply affected since a coffee was imposed here because of probate 19 so what happens to all the servicemen and women who are really low on the activities of the night to fend for their families well i want to find out which means going club hopping today. Ok some of our 3 invites you into what we call a local joint the name suggests its a neighborhood pub but all these people were seeing here i must leave in less than an hour and i want to find out from the owners and the people who work here how the time crunch has affected their business. On a normal weekend outside of a few restrictions what would it look like the number would be double the one that youre seeing. Right now with things. In flux right now as you speak. Ready to go home you still have staff who have families to be sustained so how are you working that out so weve come to an agreement that we must be able to make ends meet for. The business. So what were doing is that weve. Found some people who are also saving one to give us their opinion about the curfew and how its affected them and their partying and coffee that affecting us very much as you can. Make liver. And flashing because of time. Every single city across the world has that one place that has that one specialty that you just want to eat after being at the club and a ruby its no different but these men and women who prepared these dishes are now being forced out of work early and i want to speak to one of them whos just actually close in business how life has been since the curfew before before i would open from around 5 to 10 and out by our own 2 book itself meet printers but now im buying about half a book and. Its truly unbelievable to think that this is a space that was so vibrant about half an hour ago but this i suppose the effect of the curfew the time now is 2117 and im just going to walk you through some of the spaces weve been through so that you can see the difference this is the pool table where just a few minutes earlier there were people milling about having a good time thats the backyard garden where we were. And the noise that were hearing in the background of the few Staff Members who are left to lockdown and some of them actually have to sleep here because of the curfew for the neighbors its really good news because no noise from 9 pm but for the owners it must be really stressful because theyre literally having to shut down 8 hours before theyre normally used to this is usually the time when people in nairobi leave their homes to come into the pubs. This is a state of affairs right now were just about to complete our tour of the nightlife circuit and one thing crossed my mind as were driving through these streets i notice that theres a Significant Group of people missing commercial sex workers we might not like to talk about them or even admit it but they do depend on the nightlife and obviously you know without any supply or any demand theres no need for supply but the question is what are they now doing where they are. And i tell you this night work is good so you can get lucky sometimes and make up to 2000 shillings when workers can get up to 1500 when its really bad you get 1000 month on average would you say is the biggest difference from give me an idea of what used to make them then and what youre making now with this side hustle. Thats a look right now im selling but he has and its not paying i can get 300 shillings and my kids upcountry i can only keep 50 shillings to buy some food and the rest im sending it to them i cant eat a lot of. My house is actually about to be locked because all of them 18000 in those are. Sort of just been speaking to all these people who depend on the night economy to basically have a livelihood and the story is a very heartbreaking but its got me thinking what would be the long impact if this cause he was to be extended well beyond strange 20 were now coming to what i call it. Where people. Can speak so were talking about a very dramatic. Expansion kind of. Interesting the feel that people are. Really all the government of a lot well i mean its always risky speaking to an economist isnt it because you never know if what theyre going to tell you is going to be good news or bad news but thats a serious dose of reality and i cant think of a better way to conclude the special on the night economy here in nairobi but as i mentioned in the interview it really could be any major city across africa and i hope that this information favorability thank you for watching. Banksy added for that information now from kenya in the east lets now head to the gambia in the west on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean our very own resident is just produced a new song about the pandemic exclusively for us. A little. Longer because theres so much panic in here. Government taking last minute measures always to keep it kosik just didnt go over the years in specifically thinking that this was the mass to which corner schools have been closed so no class this year plus or just close on the few months of class to see a state of emergency is the cash to fix the town on assessing businesses now that just like skiing is hard to find if they bug out right in the front seat of class b. C. Its killing everything this man asked his kids just before clark told this one here from the president but he didnt wish. 500000000. 00 the emergency fund. Dollars to help defeat fail and it seems like a big deal to me theres nothing to see 3 dimensions to me seeing. More kid locked down for weeks cant afford to stay home 50. Years im up early to see cash cow walk on increased fuel for the day trying to keep my hands clean i see them taking advantage out on no one makes me we all hope and pray we get for the facts. Cold cold as hell cisco is now. Oh thanks for. The call. A scaling it on the track always great to have you want to show lets get back on track when i dont like guys. All around the continent continue to struggle from the effects of covert 19 so we asked a few of the artists you may know how theyve been dealing with the Current Situation and. This crew now has really affected me as an artist because i have shoes i have tours in the u. S. At tours in europe. I had to go to london to be with my family for a while in order to and all those things couldnt come on because of her 9 because of the law going out to be inside and and. Stay safe. Has really damaged a lot with you know Music Industry specially when it comes to income as many artists out there we like want performances bookings travel you know to actually make money you know for themselves and you know take it up so. Right now is the time to plan for example like. Me being an artist well weve been able to move on like everything you know is mine everything digital i think we havent had a chance to really sit down and. Introspecting you know i think all of us did eventually get the idea its been a very interesting time for you know us to think to read what i think the thing was in the us the world in america and i think it needed to slow down a little bit for us to be drained ourselves. Were not coping but of course our government and certain departments have made it easy to create relief funds where were able to draw some money but that is not even enough became. We should not be complaining because everybody got people who are in worse situations than we are as musicians i think a hole in the cover one thing here everybody in this country has been very difficult to be isolated from friends colleagues and musicians that we work with for such a long time but i do believe that conflict 19 is a temporary inconvenience and it shall pass. The corner virus is really terrible its a bad pandemic its affected our off life its affected our economy. The Music Industry is no different really and i think in my opinion the Music Industry is the most hit because at the moment we dont have International Travel and as a musician we know that we have to travel and so on and from rosters well look. The last gig that we had was sometime in. March and really thats really terrible for any musician if youre not performing if youre not playing a life gigs thats really really bad for for us at the moment. So the last president outside of mens was stocks demon from rust its this guy hes the lead singer of the band doing a very rare johnno of African Music metal stocks the one welcomes us in his hometown gaborone in botswana where hes part of a growing scene that is putting african metal family on the mop. Rust is one of what so honest best known heavy metal bands their hits hatim old is an anthem against social pressure to conform rust believes metal music encourages an independent attitude. That would give you the balls and the courage to just see it as it is this in itself is that mater of its aggressive music and you just dont understand why somebody doesnt get it. To realize you know what im just there in the gate im not going to do whatever. Society dictates and theyre going to conform to this rule im just going to be a fearless machine and just go on and listen to no one seek my own path and thats it. When rust takes to the stage the crowds excitement is palpable. Although heavy metal has a relatively small following in botswana the country has a reputation for its passionate fans and a unique cowboy style like stocks the fans believe their powerful music and pawn shop for dock loading is often misunderstood as evil. People and we care more about that what. We term as and their. People believe mentality of. People some kind of people so thats where the uniqueness comes in because we turn out to be differ. And from on from their views on. The next morning front man stocks stress is up for a very different role his corporate job while stocks would love to pursue a career in music full time at the moment he needs to support his band financially in botswana heavy metal isnt a big moneymaker the genre gets almost no air time on radio or television and proceeds from live gigs barely cover the costs of organizing the show so to finances rock star lifestyle by night stocks works as a bank manager by day its actually amongst these wild goes crazy and you know i just unleash all sorts of energy that i feel at the time especially when the crowd is going wild i also go wild you know insanely but in the corporate world you conform to the rules of society. Stucks monster flee navigates both worlds and enjoys the perks of each. With. The underground metal scene and botswana thrives on the passion and creativity of its members nobody is in it for financial gain everything is selfmade and funded from the outfits to the songs and the concept. That even though the bands like rust consummate a living from their music they are at least completely independent no one tells them how to play or what their songs should be about. If it or talk about abuse of power like whats been happening in africa you know leaders stay in powerful wrong in that nonsense i can talk about it if you want to talk about the 1st world countries where the worst thing countries come into off you got you get older is or says fuck it im free to talk about that and i will do that. To you. Its a really. Warm and independent africa is sometimes described as heavy metals last frontier but in botswana heavy metal has gone back to its roots and its found a passionate home.
