On the sas why football has become a global sensation. And finally we make moves with ghanas downs and all things so. Lets get the ball rolling with one of the key components of African Music drums they provide melody and rhythm to any song and can be used for a trolls aand any kind of ceremony but tradition of the they are mainly played by men so its not easy for mental toll in the drumming business. Will to us is one of them shes fighting for her passion and paving the way for more girls and young women in nairobi to beat the stereotype of the drum. Is a force to be reckoned with shes been a drama for over 13 years and is kenyas only professional female to caution missed. I question is an african woman present African Women and that is having telling a story. Born in a small village in eastern kenya has remained focused on what she loves most traditional percussion sound shes keen on keeping drumming traditions alive. And legendary tanzanian. Is her alter material this woman was incredible she was a strong. And she a courageous woman and she stood her ground well. That really fired me up you know. But ever has been criticized for being a female drama in most parts of africa the art is taboo for women. While. At a festival and. How do you think you look like. All of that statement speaks a lot about how the question. And the role that plays. Despite these missile genetic attitudes fame has been getting her requests to mentor young men because she is simply one of the best in the business 16 year old. Is one of them. Really wanted to meet her and then one day we made a turnover and when we couldnt a performance. He started playing when he was 13 and today moses is determined to follow in his footsteps. Youngsters like moses show her that mindsets are changing. I still have to keep working i still have to keep mentoring i still have to instill that positive attitude i still have to tell the story that im not a rebel i am telling your story my story is using this tool as a tool of expression. d d d beating stereotypes and drumming up a crowd is all in a days work for a seaver most of all though shes hammering down the notion that women cant use percussion to express themselves. Thats beautiful you know i wish i could play drums actually im not sure i completely in the if she meant well but lets not talk about me lets talk about another person breaking boundaries with his music eric sell it. Hes one of very few white maybe ends produced and quite a music now people doubted him a lot in the past but when he received an artist of the you know what that was in 2009 he won the respect of his critics east now spends his time in boston i mean again capital of india cologne germany. Listen to them and hi my name is is born raised the 1000000 musician and i would like to take you to my world of never leave us. An example also known as easy is already a star beyond the borders of his home country namibia the artist lyrics are a mix of afrikaans english and german and a 1000000 slang. Words about spotty populated but culturally diverse maybe as a former german colony. The country was ruled by apartheid south africa before achieving independence in 1900 would even his music stand for unity and creating an olympian multicultural identity. With a mix of quite tall afro pop reggae and hip hop each has created a distinct music genre which he called nam flavor. Then flavor means. Everything that happens in a maybe because people used to say as a white every can youre not doing 100 percent quite ducasse quite the can only be done by black africans and then to some point i just said ok to those few haters saying that its fine i dont have flavor because all my music or my fashion or my lifestyle or my my language everything i talk is inspired by namibia and im a bit has a lot of flavor so it needs its own would now flavor. But each has been on the southern African Music scene for long its collaboration with several quite a greats has won him awards and respect but thats not enough to eat who wants to bring quite a new sick the next level. I would love to see quite a music and the whole effort made to get more global reach because i feel that the energy and the positivity behind quite a music is something we know we need to share with the rest of the world. And eric zell. Is here with us today looking all pumped up. Ok let me know your horse. But how you doing really cool stuff thank you very much its meaning quite to that you do for those of us that dont know much about so what would you describe it quite the music is a mixture of house music music hip hop music all mixed together. During the last stages of apartheid was on the Apartheid Movement and then after part that its which into something very celebrating of the african Southern African lifestyle so quite to music its very positive very energetic you cannot sit still when the music plays you know that i feel you on that one because you just cannot sit still its a lot of beads a lot of energy in it what really drove you into quite to music was it just because i said quite the media. You want to prove that youll be successful at it or. Usually i just go from the gut feeling that i feel something feels right i just do it so in the beginning people said ok listen but how can you do quite to music as a white african its not possible and i didnt even i just blocked out everything i just said right now i love quite to music i was born in africa i was raised with quite a music so i can i not do quite though so i just block out all the talking or the hate and just did what feels right and now hows the hows the jenny bins of. And on and on its an honor to wake up in the morning and to do music its on or to represent the namibian i call it never flavor style namibian lifestyle the african culture because i feel we have such a rich culture in africa and i want to bring that energy and i want to show to the world that have a real life seeing what you do it now just to quote something that youve said before you said you want to create unity and im on a maybe and multicultural identity through your music why is that important to you. I just ive seen and ive experienced the power of music i see what music can do when i do shows in africa i see all types of people or types of races or topples colors language all coming to one dancing to one song i think with music we can we can achieve so much more than many other politicians tried to do for many years so i think music is something which im focusing on too to unite people cause we are we are all humans and when the music plays inside we all feel the same so thats the energy i want i dont know it just feels right well be catching up all on the charts but talking about music its not easy for african artists to market their music thats all funk study internet generous like awful beats and high life ive enjoyed some success on the global music scene now theres a new generation of musicians produce and high quality marketable music called afro pop with some pretty cool music videos and it seems its here to stay check this out. This afropop wave of led by artists like nigerian star been a boy who found his fame for his music and has an exploding beachy following. His natural breakthrough came with his 2800 single year followed by collaborations with storm the end ed sheeran for the song on it. That song reached number one in the british charts. Another west african superstar dancehall musician shuteye wiley from gonna. Try to unite. His International Profile recently got a boost through his work on the un says single already. Under soundtrack for the Coronavirus Crisis which has given so many people across the globe the pope and entertainment has been a song generally selema. This gem from South African artists must occasionally set up a global dance craze known as the jury. Selema done challenge. Now you cannot stop them. You kind of tell me that youve not had this song and dance to it you know some of our folks on our Facebook Page sent us some comments on that particular song let me read a couple of them press see girls from cameroon says i love the song it should go higher than it already has its already see it quite a 1000000 views and over 160000000 i should say but i would say our friend also from uganda says music is life and hope those selema house life oh many thanks for those comments appreciate that and back to you i mean you were dancing to it you know the song so the thing is like i said earlier its received over 160000000 views on you tube what about the song made it such a big hit. The real in this there wasnt ignace behind it. Ive known muffler k. G. s songs for quite some time now and. They have they have the certain things which you you cannot just sit still and i think he made the song where the wood cannot sit still we have to go out and its just its a proud moment i think for all of us africans to see a song like that go so big that that that the rhythm is so typical quite to a full. Face thats i think as you mentioned you know that beats for it is very key but is there any more to making music a hit than just the beats right used you somehow have to i dont know because i dont even understand a language i dont know what youre saying but its still a vibe that you know what outing greedy and. I couldnt tell you its mostly a Certain Energy a Certain Energy which gets transported via the vocal its. How the song structures put together and because hits you dont just going to you make a hit the hit chooses you theres a lot of local artist on the continent of you that you know if you want to rub shoulders with the 0. 50 the evidence and you know all those big that is now you going to have to speak english it was the rabbit in the assets in waiting but thats not it is it its very sad to see when i went to the and to the African Music awards in kenya and i see that this was some time back now but i see that how they celebrate more american stars than their own stars which i think we have so much rich culture and and musically i mean the 1st rhythms come from africa where so we have it there to really push most people have been affected by the pandemic of in 1000 and demick with you and your music how has it hit you if it has very much ive not done one live show this year my whole album which ive been working on for over a year now is on hold its on ice so i cannot really release it if i dont if i can go out and do shows even though were sitting here we have a plexiglas tween us feels a bit weird but it s. But at least we can see. Now like this which wasnt also the case 2 weeks ago so yeah it is affecting us all by i think we should we should learn from it. And changed as humans a few things the way we retreat nature because this will reoccur if we keep disrespecting nature so yeah its been definitely great its a new up and i think a lot for the time that hopefully you can get back to where do more music talking about over one thing the pandemic as physically cut off artists like himself of course from the our audiences but musicians in uganda are finding a way round it beef partnered with leading television stations to 10 weekends into bachelor dance parties and their fans are the lighted one of them is number quite a high jar of diana.
