You're an SPM Buzz with Pato Bantan and MC Frankid along with Miss Giddinch, SPM Buzz. Go Pato! SPM Buzz. We start with, we know them, so they introduce themselves and then we do their first conference. One second, one second. Hello guys. My name is MC Frankid and I'm the official MC for Pato Bantan and all these two. Thank you. Hi everyone. Welcome. My name is Kenneth Odedde and I'm the CEO of Shoveco. Pato, I'm very happy to have you here because we believe in you, you're inspiring the youth. Yes sir. So I heard you were coming, I was very happy to meet you and you are known in our ghetto. Yes, thank you brother. And I met some young people who talk about you and I'm like okay we'll make it happen. We'll make it happen. You know what I mean? And you have a really big heart. Thank you brother. You really care. Thank you. What you've done to give yourself and time. Yes. And Madame, welcome. You're good people. So brother, the reason you're here today was just, I know you care so much about Kenya and the youth. So we thought of having you and then share some few words with the media. Okay. Why you're in Kenya and what this day mean for you. Thank you. All right. So before I start, I'd like you to introduce yourself. Rangia, Tawya, Sudan. I'm the official Pato Bantan, from Kenya to a DJ. Thank you. I am Antoinette Ruth Data. I am also the keyboardist for Pato Bantan and also musical artist and also have an organization called Stand Up for Justice in America. And we'd like to continue having conversations with Africa to sit there and see how we can bring about the African diaspora along with the African people together. Thank you. Greetings. And this is also my wifey. The boss. All right. So greetings everyone. I'm really happy to be here with all of you today. I'm excited about our concert today. Do I say Kibira or Kibra? Kibra. Kibich. I'm very happy to come to Kibra today to give you guys a concert and to meet all the media here today. Thank you for coming out. Is there any specific questions anybody has from me? Welcome to Kenya. Thank you. Yes. It seems like it's still fresh. This is something hard for me to explain, but we've been traveling across Kenya now for eight days, nine days. And we've been to Meru, Katturu, Eldoret, Machakos, Katturi County. We've been to a lot of places and we've met a lot of people. And everybody is still excited about the song. The radio DJs are still playing the song, the TV is still playing the song. And I don't know how to explain it, but I can only say it's vibes. That's the only thing I can say is that it's vibes. It's like in Brazil. Gopato was a hit in Brazil maybe 20 years ago. And it's still a hit in Brazil now. It's still one of the most played songs in Brazil today. And every time I go there, it's big shows, big media. And I can only say it's the vibes. So I think that this song has a vibe that the Kenyan people like. I listen to a lot of the Kenyan music now. And a lot of the beat is the same kind of beat. And once you play that beat and everyone starts dancing, then you can put the other songs from the Kenyan artists with the same beat. So it's good for the DJs too. So we didn't promote Gopato. There's no record company behind it. There's no money behind it. It's just the fans and the people love the song and play the song. And all I can say is a Santessana. That's all I can say, a Santessana. Okay, Pato Banton, my name is Ebro Riambo, I'm a freelance journalist. My question goes to the CEO of Soko, Kereb Yodega. Currently, I've seen your amazing job by opening one of your samples, helping the Malamboga and also the community. And today, you guys are also partnering with Pato Banton to have an amazing event. You guys were by your teacher in the UK. What is the main reason you guys were able to partner together? What is the main reason for this? I know Pato Banton. We don't know each other personally through the music. I always believe in supporting the youth. So there's a young man who is now sick. Please, I hope it's healing. The blood is here. Born-Servic. Born-Servic, a good man. So you don't get an email. And that's me, Kennedy. Pato is coming to Kenya and we want to do something. We don't have support. It's about the youth, inspiring the young people. And I say, you know what? You work on that event. So I think, honestly, it's him who did it. And that's how it happened. But there are special people. For them to agree to that young man to come means a lot to me. You know what I mean? They really came from their heart. So we are just so humble and this is how we create movement. It's all about connecting. Let me add to the story. Yes. There's a brother here named Carlyns. Carlyns, what's your full name? Wasunder. Come over here for a second. Come stand right here please. So I put a message on Facebook saying I have a dream to come to Kenya because so many of the people in Kenya are sending me messages on the media saying, please come to Kenya. Go Pato is a big song. They say a club banger. So come to Kenya. And so I put a message on Facebook saying my dream is to come to Kenya to do some shows for the people. And then this brother, he says, Pato, I am from the Kibera slums. Chocolate city. I would like to give you a tour of Kibera so that you can get to know the place and meet some of the people. And he also has a charity called Kibera Hope. Agape for Kibera. Agape Hope for Kibera. And he said he wanted to give donations of food to some of the people who are struggling, you know? So he asked me if I would help. And I said, yes, I would love to come. And then the tour was almost cancelled. I didn't hear from him for three months. And then his brother, Barnsevich, contacted me and said, Pato, would you do a free show in Kibera? And I said, I would love to do a free show, but we must include Collins because he invited me three months ago. So we cut in contact with Collins. We spoke to Barnsevich. And then we realized that there was no money. I didn't realize we were going to have to hire a sound system and a PA and all of these things in an event place. So I made a small contribution to the concert. And then Barnsevich said, what's your name again? Kennedy. Kennedy from this organization. He would contact him to ask if it would be possible to make this dream a reality. And when he contacted you, you said yes. And then we said, right, now we're going to do it full set. So that is the full story. Wow, that's an amazing story. My last question. Currently we are having this event. And you guys are the international artists. Are you also looking forward as you have the organization to see you? Are you also looking forward to inviting other artists to be international artists? And also people like them want to come and also participate in these kind of activities? Because I know through these kind of events, also the youth are being participated. And also to invite other artists to participate. Yeah, so for today we have the Kibera artists who are really happy to perform. And that's why it's a way to promote their talents. So this is just like a miracle what happened. We never planned this, honestly. And I believe there's a reason why it happened. So we'll sit down and see what else from here we can be able to do. So let's see what's going to happen from today. So we're just so excited. This is the start of something new. Yes. And hopefully this will be a great starting point and launching point for many of the artists in the slums. Yeah. Who need a chance to get exposed to the world. Because, trust me, this will be exposed to the world today. Yes. In a few months, you will hear some new collaborations with Pat O'Banton and Kenyan artists. I am keeping it a secret. But we are going straight to the studio. When we get home, we already have three songs with three artists. Maybe four songs actually. But yes, we are working on this right now. And there's an artist from Kibera who also has a beautiful song about peace and love and unity. I'm very excited to record this song. That's what I was going to say. When we first got here, the first night when Collins came to visit us at the hotel, he brought some of the Kiber artists over to the hotel. We started our little jam session that night. So, there was a lot of great talent there. So, we are actually going to be writing some music together. So, yeah, about love, yes. Okay, last question to our... Antoinette. The last time we all happened to have an event, there is a click that went viral. You were playing in the street today. And each day is an hypo to most of the Kenyan. And they felt like Kibizo's lost writer. Can you tell us exactly what should happen also? Because I know currently you're going to be there at Chocolate City. And I know your security is guaranteed. With the shockwave, I know your security is guaranteed. Can you just tell us a few exactly what should happen? Because most of the people here, you've got to know exactly what's happening. What happened in Eldorat? Well, it's kind of weird because this has happened to be before in Africa. But when I had brought my keyboards, this is not my first time in Africa bringing my keyboards. And I'm always very hesitant about bringing such valuable equipment. To Africa. But also at the same time when I came before, I came with Anthony B. before, I came with Glenn Washington. I've come with Sister Carol. And now coming together with Pato, it's like we want to give you the best experience of what the music that we're recording outside. So the equipment is stuff that I programmed for many years ago that we put together to give you the professional sound of what we actually have. Sometimes there are instances, not all the time, but sometimes there's incidences where promoters try to put on a show and they don't actually have the funds to put on a show. And I've seen this happen in Jamaica, I've seen it happen in Caribbean, and I've seen it happen all over America. And they think that putting on a show is an opportunity to be able to make some money. But the problem is that when it comes to promoters, you have to be in this business a long time. You actually have to have capital before you actually put on a show. That means you have to have money for the sound system, money for the security, money for the venue, money for all these different things. And then if you have the money up front and then you're able to sell the show, then you can make profit and make money. So what had happened was nobody had been paid and we did not know about security because we don't actually travel with security. You know, we're not the kind of... Let me explain it. Okay. What happened was... You weren't even there though. Let me explain what happened. The promoter in Eldoret didn't hire the sound system, the stage and the security. The venue was given to him for free. But he did not pay for the sound, the stage or the security. So when it was time for the show, the stage and the sound companies said, no, we're not doing the show till we get money. And then the security tried to take her keyboards for their payment. And so Antoinette had to fight the security guards so that she could... They would not take her keyboards. And then five of the girls from Eldoret helped Antoinette fight for the keyboards. Because they were fighting those guys. And then she still has her keyboards. Thanks to the girls and thanks to DJ X-Matic. And WizKid, because WizKid was sitting there... Frank Kid. I call him WizKid, but Frank Kid, he was sitting there talking to them. I said, no, everything is okay. He said, no, it's not okay. They want to take your keyboards. I was like, oh, hell no. So I went to grab my keyboards and that's when this big guy... I mean, these are big guys. They're like six with six big dudes. It was not pretty. And when they were sitting there fighting with them, you know, with the keyboards or whatever. But the minute they put their hands on me, they shut that down when the management came over there. But apart from that, we had a nice after-party in our hotel room. With the girls from Eldoret. With the girls that helped Antoinette. And we gave them a private show. And we had a good time. We had some nice drinks and some nice food. And everything else on the trip has been fantastic. Thank you. Let's have two last questions. And then you go. You're next. You first, you first. It's crazy how Kenyans jam up to this big part of the show. And maybe for the people who are watching this video for the first time, maybe tell us who's part of it and where this part of it is. All right. I'll make it quick. Yes. Pat O'Banton was born in London, England. I grew up in a city called Birmingham. England, the same city as Steel Pulse and UB40. And I started, my stepfather was a DJ from Jamaica. And so I grew up in the sound system in the dance hall. And by the time I was about 10 years old, I started going on the microphone. And I was the number one MC in my city for seven years in a row until I started my career. Once I started my career, I've traveled the whole world many times and had many hits in different countries. And I'm just very happy right now. I'm now living in Los Angeles. I'm still making music, helping other artists. And I do a lot of charity work for different communities around the world, me and Antoinette. And we're just very happy right now to have the opportunity to be here in Kenya. Hi, my name is Hingy. Hi. I work for SPSB and I'm assuming it's your first time in Kenya, yeah? Yes. As Pat O'Banton, yes. As Pat O'Banton, yes. Is there any culture shock that you have experienced so far in all the places in Kenya? Yes. And what's that? The road! The highway. The drive-in. The truck drivers. That's... Sometimes we are driving to a city and when we look we see two trucks coming. There's no road. So we have to drive off the road, you know? And then there was this big accident in Londiani, which was very sad. But I can understand why there's so many accidents. There needs to be more discipline. More consideration of not only the drivers on the road but also the guys on the motorbikes, the guys on the bicycles, the pedestrians walking, the people selling the food on the side of the road. There needs to just be more consciousness and just slow down. Because when they're rushing, they're going to take somebody's life just to save five minutes. So that was the negative. The good culture shock is I love the food in Kenya. And these guys have shown me that when you're eating in Kenya, you don't need a knife and fork. You just wash your hands and you eat. And yeah, the food is very good. The people are very beautiful. The Kenyan women are very beautiful. I feel a lot of love from the Kenyan brothers. It's very hearty. I don't feel a lot of negative, jealousy or bad vibes. I know there is that in Kenya, but in my experience of Kenya, it's been very beautiful people. And I'm very happy to be here. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. We are heading straight to come to the crown. Eskipot, pot, pot
