 We are here at the airport at midnight. We've just received guests and we have our host here from Finland, Mr. Bani. Yes sir. Thank you so much for your guests. Ya sure. Niko fiti. You good? I'm good man, I'm good. I've been given this mandate to introduce because I'm the one who is good with English. So our guests will understand what we're talking about. Welcome so much to Kenya. How are you feeling? Amazing to be here right now. All are feeling amazing, yes. Asante sama. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So Dru, do you have a question? Yes, yes. First of all, let's talk to Mr. Bani or Bani. Bani, Bani. Tell us more about these three. You've decided to bring wazungu hapatrona ni wengisana. Ya, tell us more about it. So I'm Bani Yasila. Yes. I'm originally from Kenya, Nakuru. I'm an artist and I also run a music organization in Finland called Musiki Tours. So normally we arrange tours for both seniors and people who want to tour Kenya, to come and see our culture, see our country, get to see our, enjoy our African cuisine, get to know the people here and to interact through different projects, music activities and different other projects. So we have these, my friends here. Tony is a great friend of mine from a place called La Peranta in Finland. And Katrina is actually a colleague. They work together. So they are visiting here for about seven, eight days. I think about nine days. Just to see how we do stuff here and get to enjoy our country. Yes. How long did it take you to plan all this? Because clearly we can see you prepared it so well. We make a mission with Zuri. Can you tell us how you plan it? It's been long because we started planning it I think about two years ago. Three, four years. Four years before COVID. We planned, we were supposed to initially come I think in 2021. And then we had to push it to 2022 because of COVID. And then again after 2022 we pushed it. But now we're here. So we are happy that we're finally here. And they're here. I'm sure they're excited. Are you happy? Really happy. We are 13 now. Yes, yes. So many people may ask themselves what inspired you maybe to come up with the idea that you're doing right now and maybe your achievement. What are you planning to achieve? So myself as I said I'm an artist originally from Kenya here of course. But I live in Finland. So the fact that I live there and I've been able to create platforms through my music for other people here to also get opportunities to empower themselves. So I'm also doing this kind of projects to create platforms for other people over here. And of course when they come here they also get to see our culture, promote tourism also. Tony here is a musician. So he's also here to see some music in Kenya, how we do our music. She's also a musician. We play. Yes, she's also here to see. She'd like to see some of how we do our music, church music and different other stuff. But most importantly as you asked, this is just one of the groups that we are bringing. Next week we have different people coming also. We have for instance we have one big festival called International Night of Worship Festival that is happening next week. We have about 45 singers coming from different countries in Europe. And then again in the month of July we have about 200 singers again coming from all across Europe. About 9 countries from Finland, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, USA, Japan. So quite a huge group coming. So this is basically about creating opportunities also for them to come and see our culture, see our music and also have our guys to interact with them and get to know more about. Okay, I question to our visitors, maybe what are your expectations here in Kenya. As we love visitors and we are happy to see you. What are your expectations? I'd like to see the church of course and I'd like to see how you live here and animals of course and safaris. Yes, to see and to feel African music. Yes, of course. Just like you did. Yes, as we did. Yes, and well, I think the nature here is marvelous. So actually I waited all my life to see Africa in general. Actually answer nature and so on. So this is a great opportunity for him because he says he has waited for all his life to be in Africa. But now he's here. Actually can I say something in Swahili? Yes, because I've learned. Yes, of course. Mimini, Tony, inapura haku kutana na bebe. Sema mambo ina chemuka. Mambo ina chemuka. Mambo ina chemuka. Kabisa. Maybe when we finalize bunny of a new song that we just released yesterday. And you're a gospel artist doing very well in Finland. What do you think is something different that maybe is finishing gospel music in Kenya? And we have DJ here, one of the best active gospel DJs right now. Maybe we'll also say something on that. But from your side, why do things like every day gospel artists in Kenya wana pukupua? I think that is really personal. It's difficult to say because I can't speak about anybody. I can only speak about myself. So for me, I'm passionate about gospel music. I know why I do gospel music. I'm passionate about being Christian and doing really the music that I do because I know where God has really brought me from. And talk of that, I've sung to Tony's church for many times. He has invited me there to sing many times. Last year we had an African concert. Do you remember? How was it? It was great. Did you dance enough? Yes, whole church danced. We had an African concert in his church. He's one of my great supporters in Finland. And of course I do other tours also, not just in Finland, in Sweden, in Spain. Before I came here I was in Barcelona, Spain for a tour. I was in Switzerland also. So if you ask me about Kenyan artists why they do their different stuff, I think that's quite personal. So me, I'm focusing on what I do and I'm happy that I have a great team here. You will say that. Repeat the question. First of all, I want to say thank you to Bani for doing the amazing job of bringing all this together. I enjoy as you have a great time here and get to experience the music here in Kenya. But I think in relation to your question we just repeat the question again so that I am able to get. Alright, the question was why do you think Bani being a gospel artist has been well in Finland? Why do you think like every day we have gospel artists who are like... People are quitting gospel. Because they are not being played you as a DJ. Let me say this. If you watch the show that I do on Citizen TV we make sure that tuna angazia this artist in the best way possible. I have a segment called Bambika top 3 music videos of the week and I make sure that I play new music and new artists. I am encouraged by people like Bani who's a fast rising gospel artist and doing an amazing job and not just relying on TV airplay but also organizing such things and such initiatives and not just being able to see the work that he's doing and also the concept that he's doing and he's also international material because he's doing tours outside so we shouldn't necessarily rely just on Kenya alone, that's number 1. Number 2 I would say there are people who are doing good gospel music because as you remember there's a time that Eric had brought up an issue kama mna kumuka vizuri and there are a lot of gospel artists and we just talk about it and say there are some people who are doing amazing music akinagadian angel wako akinagabidi wako akinadevidwanda wako there are a lot of people who are remnants who are still doing good gospel music so I think it's good to commend those people who are already doing it very well those people who decided to leave gospel had to know Bayan now we are praying for them we are encouraging them that they need to come back and we will embrace them just the way Jesus did because that's what he was about showing love to each and every person so see see to tender liya kupatia airplay wale watu wako wale ambawha wako mukirudi na murudi ilia ukweli kuruudi because of clout but murudi ilia muna trako follow Christ had ways inima watu airplay rongo kweni so miin ta se maifu yes maybe Idoa pokumashuret na wazungu ake ma bani maybe you can just tell us maybe how did you manage to gather 15 should I say finish you are finished ok someone from Finland is finished how did you manage to bring together all these finished people to Kenya and do you have some support from somewhere maybe not really I told you I also run two organization music two organization in Finland it's called mziki tours so we worked with Tony and Katrina Tony here in Katrina did a great job in helping us to get people who are willing to come along the only tour that I'm doing we have many others coming and Tony also knows by the way we have this coming festival it's a very huge festival I told you about the festival is gathering about 45 to 50 singers from across the globe about 6 countries and then we have another one international mziki gospel festival gathering about 200 singers that's what you see kazi raisiba so thank you God you said Tony here is a musician maybe Tony you can give us a Makapela finish song finish him really Russian he goes well sing by Russian style so it goes like this so maybe you can just hand me a universal universal kaveve kazoze kaveve kazoze say kaveve I think I'm gonna I'm gonna So he's a fari into Tunanza, next week wengini wana shuka, after that wengini wana shuka, lakini na shkuru sana kwa kutu join hapa, welcoming these our guests, thank you for joining us, so we are hoping The total number is about how many people yet?
