a medical doctor and they're
pushing their child to be

species this cold the white cognitive

00:25:42
folks keep feeding the
been evasive the t.v.

00:25:47
Doesn't work and there's

00:25:47
a poll and someone sued to say that's not
so going to get us and moves that we can

00:25:53
chose to go to get a little
goofy and it was made famous by

00:26:00
a fringe that leaves the easy to
live they came to us and it came to

00:26:06
move

00:26:07
a boat out in the coming minutes
it was meant to be. A minute

00:26:14
cultivating

00:26:15
a little union so you know
the car buyer Oh. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

00:26:33
Yes.

00:26:43
Thank.

00:26:56
You. For music time in Africa from
Nairobi in Kenya this is the voice

00:27:03
of God

00:27:04
a king in musician who died in
the 1st of February 29th. Are

00:27:33
you poor 66 popularized in your t

00:27:36
d an 8 string and traditional instruments
from western Kenya which is what you can

00:27:40
hear playing on this song.

00:27:48
Among the young musicians who learned the
trade of the feet of all you got was

00:27:52
a pop Yawn who also plays in your t.v.

00:27:55
Just like are you. There oh is such

00:27:59
a. Breath taking song it is timeless It is

00:28:04
a hunting song this is you can
see that rain is coming bring

00:28:11
it to haul that is the meaning of the road
out of the wild remember I got it but

00:28:17
what is legacy I want to see it as

00:28:20
a talent as African
musicians who are coming up

00:28:26
and the question is will you leave behind.

00:28:42
We're talking about the horrific
death of 33 year old on a war aka

00:28:49
a d.j.

00:28:50
Arafat now in case you don't
know is music here is

00:28:54
a bit of the song. This is.

00:29:07
Our.

00:29:29
Ok So Roger this was d.j.

00:29:31
Arafat's doll that came out last
year and. Now he is no more

00:29:39
a d.j.

00:29:39
Arafat was probably the number one living
icon of this popular dance style from

00:29:45
Cosby who are calling. Really really sad
isn't it really starts now you know him

00:29:51
personally don't you think yes I do
personally because of the team we had

00:29:55
a privilege to have been coming here for
Voice of America in Washington that he was

00:29:59
so one of the guests on my
show we just yes it was such

00:30:03
a great thing to have there's so few young
artists that are you know the world and

00:30:08
one of the as you just say you know one of
the major It is so critically because he

00:30:13
is considered being the number 2 to do
some guy back you know Dukes ago started

00:30:19
a movement to become the late ninety's
that live right in the exact analogies and

00:30:24
he can and then he also to go you
know too cool for it to get to

00:30:28
a different level it's ironic that the
video in the song that launched. Into his

00:30:35
career was about a friend
of his who also died in

00:30:39
a motorcycle accident which is how d.j.

00:30:42
Are exactly. And also on

00:30:46
a sad note token these artist Jimmy hope
has died he was nicknamed told police

00:30:52
Johnny Hallyday and that artist for those
of you don't know is a French rock

00:30:57
n roll pop singer and he got that nickname
for his flamboyant performances Jimmy

00:31:03
had just turned 62 I had the chance to meet
him and to watch him perform when I was

00:31:07
there alone May earlier this year.
For the launch of our viewing f.m.

00:31:11
Station and let me tell you he was really

00:31:14
a beast on the stage he had so much energy
and fire he reminded me of the Rolling

00:31:21
Stones icon Mick Jagger seriously
but Jimmy had been ill for

00:31:25
a few weeks and was back you went to France
for proper care where he then passed

00:31:29
away on August 5th.
