 Kiki togoto about yunasi and what actually happened to yunasi mati? Komagina nanjita Eric Black eka Eric Nasi. Yani Nasi hai toki. Nasi nabaki. Ya, so Eric Black nimsani. Ani me toka areas awo rumu madari, uko ni me groia. Na actually me influence how me andika wimbo and how I view life. Yes. So generally I'm from the band Yunasi. And I think, you know, yunasi from 11 indini, jupo gore, sisibe. But right now yunasi me chukwa back seat for a while. And life has to go on. So me me kama Eric Black. Mwok fonya my own music. Ani me duwa beautiful gospel piece. Ya, I saw it. So even before we get there, why is it that yunasi wali beside kutek, break hidoga? Nana josikit we may happen recently. Ya. Bans, being in a band, yunasi me kwa together for about 20 years. Wow. Ya, and that is not easy. Ya. And there comes a point in my time, ma li piya family na chukwa over. A lot of factors na come in. Sure. And when maybe music piya eleti pesa zil nafa and demands the families me kwa megi. So sometimes people may get too busy. Ya. Okay. So I think here factor me kwa ime cheza big role. Yes. Ya in taking yunasi ma li tukwa wasasa. The members of yunasi, yunasi ru di bak na yunasi. Ya. But factors wali tukwa ma li tukwa seja ka. Ya. I am sure millions me kwa bijanawa dobu. Ya. Like you young, maybe in your early 20s. And then by the after 20 years, what of kuswa me grow wakuna families na hakuna time mi akufanya music. So woka decide when de peke ako. Mika decide? No. Okay. Yunasi li as a gospel group. Because yunasi originally mi ilimansha God yunasi yunasi. Oh. Okay. Mika decide to find a social music and contemporary music. Sema decide to kill a music and social music. Ya. Because every music has a message out there. True. So tukwa decide to find a social music and contemporary music. Mm hmm. So me go back to the original papa that yunasi yunasi dukwa me create yunasi. Mm hmm. I just want to do music and praise God and at least work on an album. Mm hmm. I did that. Yes. Okay. So how has it been just working on yourself and how is it different from working with yunasi as a group nawe wepakiaa kou? It's very different, yunasi is a family, it's a family, 30 years for Moja. Ya. Raise 5 years. We're not what are raised 5 years for Moja. We're not 5 years. Ya. We're not what are raised 5 years for Moja. So 30 years for Moja naangaliata sayo me makita wepakiaa kou, yunasi ya. Ya, a after after after. Ya. It's not easy and it has not been easy, ... but life has to go on So uli sema yu nasi papasia ke inishi li ilkwa gospel music na won't kakuende liya na gospel music At some point wuka sema you tried ama you did contemporary music So is that the plan you have for your music? No generally what I believe, I believe that music has to bring positive messages to the people So I'll do gospel music, music to praise God So in the other part of the message, so is that the message is the message to people So I said to myself, in the 11th indeed, wuki kujang tani yu uti speciali yu uti e mihetu Wazia uli kwa na lewa na lalachini komitaru So uli kwa nangalini imu saya na lalakini komitaru Kenapa liya me namin na lalakini komitaru Nangalini nasa maia pana, ataka man kuchibamba, gibani kiyasi so that is that positive song So, Dastelma, yes, I'll do gospel music, but if I come with an inspiration of a song that can create a change in the society, she is in mind kweefana. So, utaki kujikonfaina T.E.O. And strictly, yes, you still believe in God, you still want to do gospel music, but utaki kujikonfaina kwa yo boxia atila zimantifanya gospel. Because I think that is what is affecting so many gospel artists in Kenya. Then you end up switching to the other side to be a kidoga about that and watch your opinion. Now, ministry, ministry in general, the ministry minayangalina different perspective. I can come and tell you Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, praise God. Which is good. But at the same time as a pato konchak, nishkua doi. nikubetachaku danikupati. And to minister to you. By my actions. So this thing what we do in kujikonfaina to the rebu. Imepewa blocks, gospel music, settila music. Akunam dana talk about social music. Musicians main purpose in afakwa, ku entertain, ku educate. Onona. It's not only entertaining people. You're supposed to be entertaining them while passing a message. And that's why I believe what you're doing, you want to lose their path. So na patamutat, your gospel artist will have to move off on your song. Nani amirugi. And then, ease of your challenges is equal panel. But as for Eric Black, I want you to gospel music. But when I get a beautiful social song that touches on the lives of what were around me, I will sing it. And speaking of that, you ride from what is affecting your surroundings. So maybe what I want to decide by the way, I'm going to put this down on paper and turn it into music. Let me give an example of a song you nasi did, Jio Pogore. So umeka maali, ukonja. Enya ukonja. Alafu gari kubo ena pitam, doya mekako nyuma na kula baga, alafu na tupatini. Onaka onajuliza. Wait a minute. Enya watu akutofa uti. You get. So that's a song that you nangali onasema. I truly people are different. So unapatakitika maio na fanya ukandika song that okay sa hindi oni konja asina fooda na miyambu tupu na uliya na pelika gari but nista ke kwa kamaiai because jui ni ni ame pitiya. Amas jui ni ame fanya kwe maliyuko. Just be the best of who you are. Your time will come. So that is the kind of song I'm talking about. It's a positive song. It's a song that is building you physically. It's not only about spiritual matters at the same time. It needs to be strong physically, spiritually and mentally. And then emotionally. This is the sort of song that I have heard. Ya, zina join pamoja. In moja kwa kando apu kunata sushi. Na gap. Umeku kifanya music on your own for how long? Now this is my first single. My first video. Neli wakia wakati wa corona. Before corona yanzi ni me Friday man video. Corona pop! Inakuru di sha. Kwa ya wan. Kale kapesa kado gu li wana. Umeku wana kwa wana. Umeku wana kwa wana. Umeku wana kwa wana. So huna expect. Mini ni. It's a life. So huna camera shimto. Okay. Apalasa na. What next? But life has to go on. Ya, life has to go on. And then such things will happen. Kufunza leso ni ya. The next time. Ya. So challenges ni umeku pata on your own. Adi the same challenges ni pata ni umeku wana yunasi? One challenge ni umeku pata. The name yunasi. People believe yunasi tu ligyanga pesa sana. Ya. Okay. So if you tell somebody that I want to do this and imagine the world of kumichotea. Okay. That's a very big challenge. Yunasi was there. Yunasi did what it could do. We really created the path to bring African music to the world and all that. But during our time, pesa iku afili. So especially music. Yes. So don't need to travel the world. But we were like a group of seven people. Meni piyo hoteli. Meni piyo andege. Of course, lepesa na talipu apia ita kwa pesa mingi. So Kirudim tani, Eri kumiloka maju. Eri kumiloka maju. Eri kumiloka maju. Eri kumiloka maju. Eri kumiloka maju. Okay. So the fact that we met someone already back as Eric Black, we make a lot of investments. But we don't have much money. Na unayimba, watu na kwa tivi kwanda. Na unayimba, watu na kwa tivi kwanda. Mugana kwa tivi uka na do. It is not like that. Yes. It does not work like that. So that is a challenge to me. And if you let me answer, you may decide to go back from basic, from ground. Kwa le niki. Kwa le niki. So let's talk about the new song. The new song that Inakuleta wewe kama Eric, not as Yunasi, hakuna kama wewe. So what was that inspired by? What was that inspired by? Now, sometimes when waka tuko chini, kuna realize e niku gana marafiki lakini awako. And then you realize, wait a minute, there's one person I can turn to. There's one person I can relate to when I'm down. And it's Jesus Christ. Okay. And that's the moment you realize, wait a minute, there's no one like Jesus Christ. Okay. So hakuna kama wewe, was a special dedication to Jesus Christ for, despite all the challenges and everything we go through life, niku gana niku realize, one thing, don't trust in man. Don't trust in church. But trust. Don't trust in church. Yes. Trust in God. Church is a college down, man has a college down, but mungu is a college down. So it is a collaboration. Kwaniniuli decided I wanted to be a collaboration not just do it on my own. Thank you for that beautiful question. As Eric Black, I've wanted to give back to the community. Yes. Okay. So Eric Black, together with young men from Madare, tuli kujapamodi, kusata festival. Yeah. And the festival was called, is called the Great Madare Festival, where our main purpose is to showcase talent, cakula, upishi, boxing, football. Okay. It's a festival, so it's not only a music festival. So we did one. And when we did one, last year what? Dio before corona. 2019. 2020 was last year. I do, it's ongoing. We did one. We had to bring in artists from Madare, boxers, footballers and everything. And one of the artists that was there was Madiba Moana. Yes. Okay. And then you can say, I wanted to use this Great Madare first as a channel to bring art out. Yeah. And when I came and said, wow, this guy is talented. And then Madiba was a Jew. Yeah. The boy can sing. Really. I can use whatever I can use. At least I can use my own. Yeah. Okay. So I decided, I will do it. If you want to do it, do it. So you can change it, you can do it. And now you can do it. Dioi, I like it in a short moment, but I think that's a very, that's a very good way of giving back to the society. Yes. Especially when you recognize umtu by their talent and it's good to uplift young upcoming artists because it's not easy by the way. It's not. It's not easy. So yeah, kudos to you for doing that. Yes, thank you. So I want you to share with us Maliwatwaneza Pata Ngomazako, especially now that you're planning, you're working on an album so that we can keep in touch and get to see the completion of the album.

Iconatwist. Yeah, iconatwist. Iconatwist. Iconatwist. Iconatwist. Iconatwist. Iconatwist. So Eric Black. But you, why Eric Black? Yeah. Okay, why? Because Eric Black has been seen as inferior color. Yes. Okay? I'm going to tell you that we're not doing it. I'm going to tell you I want to use this platform to bring positivity to the color Black. Yes. Because Eric Black I'm going to tell you why I'm not in the room because I'm also here because I know that I'm black. If you're black, you can associate black with positivity. Yes.
