00:00Our colleague at AfroNation also asked some of the Africans, or just some people attending,
00:05what they prefer, Afrobeats or I'm a Piano. So, I'm going to ask people here as well.
00:10So, Afrobeats and I'm a Piano, which one do you enjoy the most?
00:13Oh, both. I don't know. I'm a Piano.
00:17Okay.
00:17Yes, I'm a Piano.
00:19Really? And Burna Boy is Afrobeats.
00:22Yes, but he's an exception. He's Burna Boy.
00:25Yeah. I'm a Piano, of course, of course.
00:27All of it?
00:28All of it.
00:29It's hard because I started with Afrobeats and then I learned I'm a Piano and it's just
00:34a unique sound. And I might love that a little more now. I don't know. I'm still trying to
00:42figure out.
00:42You're trying to be loyal.
00:43I'm trying to be loyal, but everybody is using it now. So, you hear regular songs
00:50and it has a unique sound to it. And a lot of people are even using it.
00:55Which one? I'm a Piano or Afrobeats artist. Who do you usually follow the most in their
01:01music?
01:01There's a few. So, Afrobeats, I like Adeko Nwego.
01:05Oh, you know good music.
01:06I don't really listen to a lot of Burna Boy music specifically, but I follow Afrobeats.
01:11You're like a Pan-Africanist. All things Africa, you're up for it.
01:16Places like this is a safe place for us because I don't need to think that nobody likes me here.
01:22My skin color is not a problem. I'm welcome here.
01:25It's a safe space for us to enjoy and celebrate ourselves.
