Music entrepreneur and communicator Richardine Bartee speaks on achieving mainstream music success
Currently, the world is fixated with the tone of the new infectious sounds of Afrobeats, a growing music movement that has struck a chord with young West African musicians living on the continent and those in the diaspora.
Afrobeats involves the combination of elements of West African musical styles with American jazz, soul, and funk influences, with a focus on chanted vocals, complex intersecting rhythms, and percussion.
Afrobeats musicians, from Ghana, Nigeria, and the rest of Africa at the moment have the attention of the world for the distinctive sound. As some people have argued, it is time for these African musicians to leverage on the current wave to establish themselves, the genre, and achieve mainstream success.
tucker: okay. for the people involved it is by definition a humanitarian crisis. if theyy are leaving their faild countries trying to get here. i get it, i sympathize with them from day one, i still sympathize grth them. so we agree on that but for american citizens, when you have 22 million people living here illegally, that s more than 16 states combined in population, that s a crisis for us. that s what you denied and i doubt you will admit it now. another estimate says, and disses just depends on which number you want to use. 11 million undocumented people. tucker: only 11 million so only larger than new york city. it.t so here s my question to you, how many would constitute a crisis? how many peopleal do we have to let live illegally in our country before we say, you know what, we have to start deporting people? what s the number? give me a sense, ball park. i think there is a crisis. that s not what we are debating. there is a humanitarian crisis
