 That's on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Request your favourite songs. I'm a Y244 channel and the E-Cycuit. In the morning we were asking a question. What's your favourite part of 2019? Let us know. That's on Y244 channel and the E-Cycuit to confirm it. Mika underscore Kenya, of course. And Yiv Nya Gat, Yiv underscore Nya Gat 1. Our first guest is no stranger to the E-Cycuit. See? He's our big brother. Yibza. Mr. Pasekita Mwenye. Humboldo. Aliwa. Ya. Jamu. Poza. Karebusana. Yifraisana manzei kwa skukada before the end of the year. Nikwa pa E-Cycuit. Natu me shukuru. Ume kudzana ani songi ni tori rejoice but before we get to that, let's talk about what you've been up to. The last time you were here, uli kudzana the art checks, art ensemble. My theatre group. And you're the director there? Yes, yes, yes. So what have you guys been up to? Of course, the normal thing of naturally young people that has been my heart for many years. And maybe to the end of this year, the biggest bit of it was being awarded for the work I've been doing for the last 20 years now. Of course, with my group 15 years, nurturing young people. And so we are there, we're still strong right now. Reassos are going on. And more than that, of course again, I have to turn back to my other side. That is a musical bit of me at the moment. Of course, you have to give us those jams. And every Christmas I'm always happy because I know there's something to expect I hope next year, 2020, I'll be doing more. I'll be coming back more. I have a full album that I've ready. I'll be launching, but more maybe on YouTube and those kind of things. But I also want to do a lot of marketing because we've also been talking about music and maybe theatre. And you guys are talking about that more, we are working on the content, but maybe the marketing bit of it, we're not doing a lot. And so maybe that's one of the things I want to venture into. Come the next new year. And we're looking forward to that. I'll be speaking of awards. There's an award that's right here next to you. Distinguished Juri Award. David Alia. Alia, that is sana awards. Tell us about this award. Of course, this came as a shock on my side. Sikwana pikriekama. We are mostly behind the scene. Some of the guys who have come from my fold, that is since we formed Theatre Start Ensemble, one of them was Jalango in 2004. And then, of course, Sleepy David 2010. We have a Winger. We have a Samikiyoko. And very many other guys here in Churchill show. We have guys in the media, Asan Mugambu is in Citizen and News Anchor. And very many other guys. So mostly when I started, of course, I didn't start with doing, maybe I'm doing mostly set books. I started doing straight plays, what we now call straight play, performance for the public. Then I formed the group with Kina, but then I was with Kina Wilbroder, Otoyo, those kind of guys. So after that, I was also doing music because I learned my first album in 2002. And so with time when guys were mostly moving to Israeli film and TV, it was now a time for me to find out myself, find my path and know what I want to do. And mine was now more on nurturing people. So behind the scene more, you see guys go out there, they do a lot of things, although we still family, because these guys shall come back again to give back and also encourage the guys who are there. So on 16th of December, this month we had the Sana Ward after just Kalasha, which also my program that is Avigia Makaman. We had a nomination on Kalasha, but we didn't manage. I hope maybe in future we'll get something there. So I was in the hall at the Federal National Theater, like all the other people. And after the awards, everybody, the actors, the CS culture was there. Mina Muhammad, she was told to wait a bit in front of the last award. And so to us it was just a normal, a lot of those normal things you attend and those kind of things because I didn't have a nomination. You weren't expecting it at all? I wasn't expecting anything. And then from there now, distinguished jury award goes to Aliyo. I didn't even, I wasn't even able to talk. It was a shock on me, but again, nashkurumungu sana that guys would identify of what I've been doing at the end of the day. Getting that acknowledgement of what you're doing. Because right now we're almost 800 and something young guys who are outside there and they're doing well. The best, what I thank God for is that most of the guys have come from my fold somewhere. The gospel we preach of the understand how guys can be able to it's working at the end of the day. Let me ask, what does it take to be Aliyo? I'm just like any other person who loves life and learns from life. I learn from people on a daily basis. I'm humble, I believe. I believe that it's me and more than anything God. God is my work. God is my everything. I pray a lot. I believe in God. I believe that there's nothing that is impossible and always celebrate people. I celebrate very many guys. Like today, I'm so happy to meet Kapaido. One of the things about these guys that I've watched him for a very long time. But when I see young people who are also pushing. They're pushing their brand, they're pushing what. They don't really worry about what they're saying. So I usually say everybody has a space. That's a space called Aliywa. I work on my space and that's even how I was worried because of the way I was using my space. So Aliywa is about life. Aliywa is about this guy that believes in life, believing in people and believe that there's nothing that is impossible if you put God first. Faith has always been like a pillar to you. How important is it to you doing your thing in your craft? As an actor, as a director with the theatrics? To me, of course, everything we have to pray. But one thing I always talk about is you must be very professional. Talking about like now I was saying that guys are talking about right now you have to brand yourself. I believe in branding. If you look at all my artists you must brand yourself. Guys will buy you. Sometime you might be the best musician might be the best actor but without the branding. The guy is looking at you and they buy you even before they know who you are. One the beat about the branding on my side is putting God first. I'm born again Christian and so I pray like on 25th I had, it was my prayer. I wasn't celebrating aside but I was praying. I was making God for the year that has been and also setting things for the year to come. So to me everything it's God. Everything is God. Theatrics is all about God. The young people that God gives me every other time that maybe I do audition I believe strongly I have to tell them the truth I have to tell them what they are supposed to how they are supposed to be equipped because right now it's not only about talent as I told you and that's why I believe the guys who are making it right now thinking about talent to me is a job that I've been doing. I've never done any other job. This is my job. This is my office at the end of the day. We like to say on the isakit hashtag talent Nikazi. So we are doing 100% how many 1000% 1000% Now in terms of your music career there's the album that you said is coming soon but until then there's the new song Rejoice. Tell us about it before we play it. Of course as I said my new album is a 17 track album bit longer than the last one. This is my third album called Goja Goja is a song also that I did in the album featuring Buvi and Grace Kirapa So the new song maybe which I was releasing Rejoice more talking about the birth of Christ but not only the birth of Christ but all about that we need Christ in us, we need Christ we need to walk, we need to appreciate the fact that there's another superior power than us that we need to always appear to and always pray to or call on. So the song Rejoice is about it borders from the birth of Christ and what comes out of that this son born this Jesus Christ born was born to give us hope born to make us walk truth help us when we reach facing some hurdles in life and so that is all about Rejoice at the end of the day. It's a bit a slower song but to me the message of God comes more than any other thing at the end of the day. More than trying to get the hype Hype is good at the end of the day but I think also it's good to appreciate kilamitokona the way maybe they relay their message. For a very long time there has been me at the end of the day although sometimes I have other hype songs but this time I think sometimes we want to slow it down for a minute we want guys to reflect sometimes in a bitwo or skia. I like that we are about to play Aliwa's new song Rejoice in just a minute before that I'd like you to give us where we can find you in anticipation for the new album Rejoice Just a final word to the people watching you on the E-Cycute like the actors and the musicians and the leaders of tomorrow who are watching you right now What advice would you give them? I would say keshu jengwaleo keshu jengwaleo keshu jengwaleo keshu jengwaleo keshu jengwaleo keshu jengwaleo w closer kamaja mimi kamaja maimi 10 y lingering 10 y darwa 10 t pilotured 10 y darwa 10 al bol 10 slamu 10 al bol 10 besoki 30 bol It was behind the scene. Well, sometimes they come in front of the camera, those kinds of things. But even if it was behind the scene, nikuwana, you're one day, guys will know about you. And somebody is looking at you, just do your craft well, package yourself well, do it right. And one morning, as the Babu say, weeping may tarry for the night, if you're weeping, but joy comes in the morning. 2020, I wish you a very prosperous year. You can find me Aliywa on all my social media, whatever platform, that is Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. There's a fan page called Aliywa. Aliywa again on Instagram and of course again Aliywa on Twitter. Nice, thank you so much for coming too. Not only on my YouTube channel, Aliywa Music TV. Yeah, they should subscribe, of course. Yeah, subscribe. Now, wudaputangu mazangu pali. Nice, nice. Thank you so much for coming through to this segment. We appreciate you. In the morning, we were asking a question. What's your 2019 highlight? 2019 highlight, of course they are looking. Aside from the album, of course. A lot of things, of course, one God giving me life. Still I'm professing God at the end of the day. But of course, one of the beat, of course, has been pushing my show, Iyo Viji Makamani, celebrating four years. It clearly, the hardest beat of it was after the departure of our former judge, that is Jamal, our IP. So, still seeing our show to the end of this year to me, that was a great one at the end of the day. And of course, up at Kati, the many guys who believed in my work, in my work, and the many actors who were outside there still doing their thing and shining outside their theatrics ensemble. Still being there, we're celebrating 15 years and moving to 16 years. Nice. We wish you nothing but the best. Thank you so much. Meshukuru sana, sana, sana. And like I said earlier, we were asking a question, that's on Y2Four Channel and the ISAC, that's on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. What's your 2019 highlight? Or rather, what's your favourite part of 2019? So, let's find some of the people who are answering us on social media. Someone by the name CIA Godfrey, I think it's part of the CIA or something. As I'm watching live from Nakuru, most remarkable achievement for 2019, the reunion of my family. Wow. That's very inspiring. Iman James, thank you so much for always connecting with us.
