 Alright, we are here today with Butala Kawalbi, Jack Bauer, Congolese, von Kathra, Krono, and we are recording some Congo music today, and you are Ideology Taba. So tell me about yourself, are you, where are you right now? Hi everybody, my name is Butala Kawalbi, Jack Bauer, Congolese, von Kathra, Krono, and I'm from Ideology Taba. I'm a music man, so I'm from the Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville. Today I'm going to perform a music live concert right here. Hope you guys are going to be very, very happy. Wonderful, we're excited to have you here and so glad you could join us today. What got you involved in music? Thank you so much for the question. I deal with Rumba music. Rumba music comes from two Congolese, Congo, Brazzaville, Congo, Kinshasa. So Rumba is one of the famous styles in Africa and one of the famous styles all over the world. That's kind of music I've been doing. Thank you. Wonderful, and one last question. Where do you get your sense of fashion and style? What inspires you to dress up so nicely and can you talk about that? Thank you so much for the question. You have to know that we Congolese people, we were colonized by French. This style, the way that I'm dressed, normally it comes from France. In our culture, fashion is something that should always be there, even if you have nothing in your pocket but you should always be well-dressed. You must smell good and you must have some expensive stuff on you, you know what I mean? So it doesn't mean you don't have to work, you have to work because to buy all these nice clothes, expensive shoes, ties, everything, heart, this watch, and everything you should work. So that's why I have to tell you, if you don't work, you cannot be well-dressed. So I'm dressed like this because of my ancestors. We were colonized by French people. Ideologie Tabar comes from Congo, from French people. French people, thank you. Wonderful, thank you. I think with that we will get this music concert started. Thank you. How far do you feel so far? To tell the truth, feeling wonderful, I'm feeling tremendous, great, great. Everything is looking up to tell the truth. I swear, God. And you have now, you have a nice audience here, you know, a lot of people here to support you and to see that today. So how does it feel to have, you know, people here supporting you and, you know, just here to come see all the great things you're doing? I'm so happy to have my guys over here to support me from Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville. I can see on, you know, on the bench sitting there, Osiasse, La Force, Sapologique des États-Unis, Le Cashemanie, I can see on the same bench, Elisabeth Zumba, Maman Fumo, Maman Ars. I can see on that other side, Pastor Sinila, Papana Kaleb, Papana Kaleb, and I can also see on the same bench, on my right, Merveille, Merveille le Patron, Merveille de la TV, Kaba TV, Merveille from Kaba TV, TV station from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. So I'm very happy to have them all here to support me. Thank you so much, you guys for coming. Great. And one last question. I'm wondering what inspires you, not to make music, but what inspires the music that you're making? What's the story behind some of that? Thank you so much for the question. One thing you have to understand, I come from Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville in Africa. Most of Africans sing to tell the truth. Music in my continent is something that we cannot put aside. When we work, when we eat, when we do everything, we always sing. I've been inspired by my mother, my deceased mother. I remember when I was a kid, my mother was always singing for us, you know, to take us to bed. And she was singing thousands of songs, and I like a melody. I liked the way that she was singing. And to tell the truth, I come from also, from a place where music is played everywhere. I'm from Congo, Brazzaville. As I said, music is something that is like, it's like an elliptus around our neck. Thank you. Great, thank you. I think with that, we will continue on with the show. Awesome job. Congratulations. How are you feeling after performing for us today? I'm feeling great, great, great. I'm feeling like champion. I'm so happy for having me on this platform to perform music. I'm so, so, so happy. I don't know how I can express my feelings. So I'm very, very, very grateful to you guys. Thank you so much. So grateful to have you here as well and share your music with us. Tell me, where can more people find you, right? You have a YouTube channel. Tell me about that. Well, in order to search for me, it's very easy. Let's go on YouTube, just search for Bu Talakwa Zebi, Jack Bower, Congo Levent, Katoeru Krono. So you can search for me while writing Ideology Taba I-D-O-L-O-G-I-E Taba T-A-B-A. So you can go on YouTube and you'll have the opportunity to listen to all my songs. I live in Vermont. I didn't tell you that I live in Wellington, in Vermont. So if you want to also see me, you can come to Wellington, in Vermont, and ask for the music man called Bu Talakwa Zebi, Jack Bower, Congo Levent, Katoeru Krono, Loma de Ideology Taba. I am the only one in Vermont dealing with Rumba music, Congo music, if you want. Thank you. And we're so glad to have you here in Vermont. It's a new year, right? We just started 2023. How are you feeling going into the new year? And you know, tell me more about your plans for this next year. All right. It's a great pleasure to reach this year, this new year, 2023. It's a blessing for me, and I think also it's a blessing for you because it's not always easy to reach the new year. So in this new year, you know, truthfully speaking, I will make more progress, and I will, you know, do more music, and hopefully this year for me is going to be the best, the best of all. Thank you.
