Otherwise, we need to find a way to help the industry. We need support. So the audience here are so first. The energy, the channels, the fans singing every song, even your song. Kenyans love their own music. But why don't we convert it into business? We need to bring young people back to South Africa or Nigeria. poisonous stones, wapi, because, I believe,energy is noisy, nobody finds opportunities to do music that's unique. We need to get na badu ili penya. Mziki tuwa tempesa tape, tempesa CD, na inahit badu. Namini, mziki kali ni mziki kali badu. As much as ndi uneza tumia kiki sa, iwa tumia kiki sa na kupush mziki. Mziki ta kwa na shelf life, kama mziki umetunguwa no me ndi kwa, no me skumo marketing, na ni relevant, kwa soko, na ni relevant, kini ume ndi kwa sayi. Niki angali yung makidogo, iwa fanyi ang goma kali. Na sayi, actually, kama decimal records, tukona album tumetunguwa, cocktails on the house, ta fatali ndi ni mwangali e video, ingia pa le YouTube, decimetas, chaneli e tu decimetas, kwa YouTube ingia check check, ang goma kali zime toka. Tungi ndi nandil na ndi zataka kusema. Ise ki kubulem sere kali sana sana. But, inda streetu ikona ikona doh sana, ikona pesa sana, systems tumiko tubigana na systems sana.
