Kasafabu tuliumizwa Kasafabu tulipitia kwenye domestic violence Hapana

I think Ni umoja wapu ya uchefauti Wa

City in the Bight Kwa mfano leo kuna

kidumbaki Tumepiga Varieties zote Kwa pamoja Ambayo seyo

rahisi Tumepiga Kwa kusemea manamuke Kwa kusemea

bilasi Kwa kusemea atamadoni yetu Kwa kusemea usasa

Hata kuna moja wapo tulifanya like a rock

fulani, it's a traditional tarap song but like

a rock.

Kwa hiyo, do utofautua tunahiza nikafema.

Kwanini ilimianda Charatibu, kwa Huzuni, and then ikaenda

kwenye Kuchangamka.

Sikuzuti inategemea na show.

Kuna show tunasema tunaanza juhu, and then kuna

show tunasema hacha yianze chini.

Kwa hiyo, sikuzuti inategemea.

Kama leo director alisema hacha tuanze hivyo kwa

chini, and then...

Lakin kwenye show, unezo kwa shanga, tukaanza juhu,

alafu tukaja chini, aupia, tuka maliza juhu.

Kwa hiyo, inategemea tu, lakini jibu jengine kwamba

kwanini hiyo mchanganyiko pamoja na tarap na fusion

of course sote tumetokezia kwenye mchanganyiko tofautina.

Kwa hito sisi, of course tunangalia zaidi kwenye

utamaduni lakini haijalishi.

Mwisho aki lazima tupate ili roots ambayo ni

tarab ama traditional ngoma ya kizanzi bari ya

kizanzania lakini then tunaunganisha wote awa influence pamoja.

Tunaunganisha alafu haijalishi kitugeni kina tokea.

More question?

The first song was about men who leave

the women behind, is that right?

Ilikua kwanza ipitu mifanya?

Subira.

Subira?

Nyimba kwanza, the first song was for today,

right?

Yeah.

Nyimbo ya kwanza, I hope when I say

it in Swahili you understand what I mean.

I will translate later.

Nyimbo ya kwanza ilikuwa naituwa...

Is it a topic?

Yeah.

That men leave women behind and they have

to get alone through life?

Is that a big topic?

Of course, yeah, it's a lot.

Tell me in Swahili.

Nyimbo ya kwanza ilikuwa inaituwa Subira.

Of course the first song, what you concerned,

it's like a different topic a bit.

Yeah, it's like two different topics.

Kwa sababu Subira ni mapenzi ustahamilivu.

Nyakamipita Subira ni memshi.

The first song, yeah, it talks about be

patient, to be patient in love.

Yes.

Yeah, that was all about.

Like I'll promise you I'll be patient.

And once that has happened, we get along

for a long time.

So I promise that I will never...

So it takes about love for Subira.

You want me to tell about that?

What is the main topics of the music

you're playing?

Is it love?

Is it social life?

Most of the time it talks about, of

course, the influence of the youth of East

Africa loving their roots, but also talks about

the women role and struggling.

What is the women role?

Tell me in Swahili.

Changamoto ambazo tunapitia.

Kwa sababu kwa muziki wetu, kwa Sitting in

the Band, tunajikicha zaidi kwenye kuhamasisha, kupenda shakuwetu.

Kwa sababu tumeona kama vijana wa East Africa,

wa Tanzania, wa Zanzibar, tuna iyo Changamoto ya

kupenda vya watu zaidi kuliko vya kwetu.

Kwa muziki wa Tanzania zaidi tunapenda vya kutoka

South Africa, tunapenda vya kutoka Nigeria, ambayo ni

Magharibi, tunapenda vya kutoka Jew, ambayo ni North,

kuliko vya kwetu zaidi.

Mbapo sasaidi misababisha muziki mingine inaenda zaidi duniani

kama ya ki Nigeria, ama ya ki South

Africa, kuliko vya kwetu kwa sababu na sisi

tutunazirisha kupromote vyo.

Kwa iyo kwa kwecho sisi tunatumeona athariyake na

tunatumeona ipohaja ya kuziba hilo pengola kuhamasisha vijana

kupenda shakuwetu.

Ni hatua, sio rahisi ni ngumu, lakini kwa

sababu tunamini, tunachokiamini, kidogo kidogo tunahamasisha konje moja

manyingine vijana pia, haijalishi utafanya vipi, lakini muhimu

kupenda shakuwako.

Hiyo ni tunahitani hatua yetu moja muhima, manguzo

yetu moja muhima.

Lakini ya pili ni kupigenia konje haiki ya

mwanamuke kwa sababu tunapata changamoto nyingi sana.

Najua hii inatokea konje dunia nzima, wanawake uwenga

napata changamoto, lakini ni ukwele kama kwa Africa,

badu muamuko, kwa sasaidi kidogo angalau, lakini badu

ni changamoto kubwa.

Ni sawa kwamba ilikuja naturally, kwa sababu ya

mimi monyewe binansi na changamoto ni vizopitia.

Katika kutunga miziki, kaja tu kwa uhalisia zaidi

kuanza kuelezea struggling za wanawake, lakini nikiamini kwamba

siyo mimi tu, nikiamini kwamba kuna wanawake wengi,

na huo ni ukwele hata hapa zanziba Tanzania,

kwa sasa hivi kuna ma single mother wengi

wengi sana.

Na hiyo hali haipendezi, na hiyo hali sinsuri,

kwa hiyo kama msani moja wapo ya weapon

yangu ni kuelezea kwa sababu ya kuweza kuibadilisha

jamii kwenye hiyo changamoto.

Hilitofikia wakati mwanamuki na mtu, especially now in

Tanzania, kwa mbao.

Yeah, we have the first female president.

Kwa mwanamuki anafasi kubwa ya kuleta mabadiliko.

Thank you very much.

Asante.

Kwa mimi na sisi bende yetu, tunajalibu kufuse

muziki wa siri wa kizanzibali na Tanzania, na

jenro, tunajalibu kufuse muziki wa siri wa kizanzibali

na Tanzania, na aina zingine tofote za muziki,

kama vile jazz, rock, lege, R&B, na

vitu vengine tofote tofote.

Koyo tunajalibu kutafuta soundi mpia mbao ipo katikati

baina yao zanzibali na duniani kujumla.

So umtiyo yote hakisikia, hatasikia laza ya duniani

mbao wameshazuya kusikia, lakini pia watasikia kitu kipia

mbao chikinatoka zanzibali na Tanzania.

Unafanya kwa hili?

Hili, kwa mbao maweza kwa zanzibali na mbao

kutafutu mbao kwa mbao zanzibali na mbao kumbi,

kwa mbao kumbi, kwa vile, R&B, jazz,

lege na muziki za zanzibali.

Kwa hivyo mbao kutofuta soundi mbao, kwa vile,

R&B, jazz, lege na muziki za zanzibali

na mbao kumbi.

Is that something you do unique or is

there a whole genre doing it?

Or are you the first ones, the only

ones?

Let me come a little bit closer to

you then I ask again.

Is it new?

Are you unique?

Yeah, it's unique.

In Swahili?

Yeah.

Ni malumu kwa sababu kwa sisi.

Kwanza sisi ni kizadi kipya.

It's our new generation.

Wapo mababu zetu, wapo watu wamba watitutangulia kabla,

wali fanya kitu kama iti, lakini katika kizadi

chao, katika sound yao.

Kwanza sisi ni kizadi kipya, ni new generation,

na tunajayibu kuenda na sound ya mbayo sasa

ipo, lakini pasipo kupoteza ile hasili ya mbayo

misingi litoko kwa kubwayo tuwa lo anza.

Kwa hosisi, utasikia midundo ya talabu, utasikia midundo

ya si, lakini pia utasikia u sasa ambayo

hupo.

Kwa sababu sisi ni kizadi kipya, kwa tunajayibu

kuenda, lakini tunajayibu pia kutengeza sound impia, mbayo

inachanganyika sound ya zamani na sound ya sasa.

Tunafuzi.

You said the word generation.

New generation in music?

Yeah.

What is this new generation in the whole

society, your generation, what is your spirit in

Zanzibar, in your generation?

Spirit yetu kwa kizadichatu sisi, kuanza tunamini sana

kwenye mabadiliko, vizadzivetu ya zamani, wengi tunaishi kwenye

hali ya kufata, kufata kila kitu jinsi kilivyo,

lakini sisi kizadichatu sasa tunajayibu kufanya mabadiliko kwenye

sekta mbalimbale, especially kwenye sekta ya sana na

music.

Kwa sababu tunamini kwenye mabadiliko ndoo panamaendeleo pia

mkubwa.

Kwa kizadichatu sisi, kinamini sana kwenye mabadiliko.

Kwayo hata sound yetu, tunajayibu kutengeza sound impia,

akini mbayo ayihafili, wala ayipotezi ili asili yetu.

Kwayo ni faida, juhi ya faida.

Kwamba yetu ya asili, akini pia tunajayibu kufanya

mabadiliko mapia.

Kwayo yule mtu wa zamani, atapata kitu kipia,

na mtu wa sasa atapata kitu kipia.

Hilo ndoo nyuku mletu sisi, kizadichatu sasa hii

kuendeleza, lakini pia kufanya mabadiliko.

What did you say?

Okay.

So, our responsibility as a new generation is

like to to protect what we have, but

also we have to do the change in

order to get a development.

So, as our new generation, we are middle

between the old and the new.

So, we put them together.

So, we put all these ideas together from

the old and the new stuff.

So, the modern person can hear our sound,

he gets something, and he gets something new.

As the older person, if he hears our

sound, he gets something, and he gets something

new.

So, it's our responsibility to put all this

together.

And, Sanziba as an island, where is your

responsibility there for your generation?

Yeah, yeah.

What do you mean?

What's the challenge on this island for

your generation besides music?

What is the challenge?

There are many challenges.

As you know, each island has two or

three people.

So, if you want to do something there

is a lot of work to be done.

First, to be able to explain to people

what you want to do.

Not to be a burden on those two

or three people.

So, that is a difficult thing because the

person who lives on his island, he lives

on his land, you want to bring him

the island even if you have a hard

job to do, so that the person gets

to understand.

In English?

I need a translator.

It's okay, I'll try.

So, our challenge is like, because we want

to change we want to change some stuff

in our society.

So, to change someone in his belief, in

his culture, in the way he believes is

not something very easy.

So, we have to do a lot of

work in order for people to understand what

we want to achieve or what we want

or the change we want.

Okay.

And what is it for example, is it

environment?

Is it what has to be built on

Zanzibar?

Development of buildings?

Infrastructure?

What is what you feel has to happen?

What future has to be like?

Yes.

Most of the time most of the time

there is a planning base, not like young

people, not like artists we use art to

change like for example, to help women or

to help children is something that there are

people in the community who can't see that

it is a mother and an athlete in

the community.

But not like artists, not like young people

that we get the opportunity to travel to

meet people from different places we see that

it is a mother and an athlete.

So, we try to use our art to

change those things it is a challenge because

people don't know how to live in certain

houses and each house has good things and

bad things so we have to put everything

in order for the benefit and that is

a challenge.

We don't know the wealth we don't know

the value of our music or our world

we don't know.

It is very different from South Africa it

is different from West Africa Africa of Kaskazi

it is different from here Africa of East

African countries because we love our country and

that is why in Nigeria they are more

famous in their music they introduce their music

to all over the world it is different

to East Africa and because we don't love

our country they love their country and they

believe in their country there is a very

big artist in Tanzania they do a great

job they do a great job introducing their

music to the world but they are still

small they are not that big but that

is the reason because if Swahili by itself

we say Swahili nation is good but by

itself we use Swahili is it enough it

is not enough it is not enough that

is why it is a big challenge we

do our music in the band now you

have begun to be known and loved but

still in society they still feel it is

the music of certain people and that is

their music it is our music that is

why it is a big challenge in East

Africa as an artist when we leave the

community we need to see what kind of

change we need to believe we need to

see what kind of change we are going

to bring so that in the long run

East Africa will accept our music they will

not question what we are going to do

we will take our music very strong then

we will go and do something else of

course I know in East Africa we have

a lot of challenges a lot of people

came a lot of stories that is why

we have a big challenge of knowing how

we are going to how we are going

to hold on how we are going to

take it forward that is still a big

challenge I remember the late Professor Mitch he

said maybe in Africa you cannot say there's

a music of Africa maybe there's a music

of Africa maybe we could say that because

we have a lot of traditional things but

we need to take care of ourselves and

our health because we have a lot of

things that we need to do we don't

want to be afraid we need to see

how we can take Tanzania's music that we

have to Africa to the world apart from

music if we don't talk about music what

is the challenge of Zanzibar I see a

lot of tourism growing a lot of indifference

very poor people some rich people there's a

big gap I see problems in the environment

what do you see what is the challenge

of Zanzibar besides the music part besides the

music I feel the biggest challenge in Zanzibar

is to see what kind of people we

depend on tourism it's okay but we need

to look at what we are doing even

if we are doing tourism the society has

knowledge our government has a lot of knowledge

but there's a gap between the government the

strategy and everything about Zanzibar and the whole

thing and the society so we need to

be together the government and the society need

to see each other all the challenges the

biggest challenge was to remove all the challenges

I don't want to talk about but we

need to be aware we need to know

what Zanzibar will bring what can we preserve

and that is the challenge for all of

us the government is pushing us and here

in Zanzibar we don't have a voice like

the government had a voice some people come

to Zanzibar there are good people and bad

people they don't know how to talk about

Zanzibar they don't know how to make money

that is the challenge we face in Zanzibar

but we don't make the artists happy we

don't make them happy we don't make them

happy the reason is if we get to

a point where we have the money then

we will be aware first of all we

say we love Zanzibar but the value Kama

sirikali unawawulivu kwanao, tafautu na hukunyi jamii.

Kwa hulazima jamii wapewe ilimi ya kutosha, kuhusu,

mazingira yetu e zanziba kwa ukubwa zaidi.

Ili tuituunze zanziba yetu, ije tuje tuirithisha.

Kisabi ni ndogo, kizazi na kizazi.
