Bien-Aimé Baraza: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a pleasure and honor to be here today.

We have a couple of people paid in the audience to make some noise for us.

The four of us met in high school, 15 years ago,

and at the time, we were famous for singing Boyz II Men covers,

because they were our biggest inspiration.

And I remember, in a very pervy way, in my room, I had a Mariah Carey poster

And I can't help but feel that times have changed.

Because what used to be Mariah Carey in my room now,

in a 15-year-old boy's room, is Tiwa Savage.

and getting over the colonial mindset of the youth

Afrobeats has played the strongest role so far, if you ask me,

as far as emancipating the youth is concerned.

We are now the superstars of our generation, for our people.

We are the solution to their musical problems.

And people our age are no longer looking for entertainment

and they're priming us above any other form of art.

and we had the pleasure of being the entertainment

for the state dinner that happened at state house, Nairobi.

he jumped onstage with us, and together, we did a cultural dance

to a song that I want to share with you guys right now.

And wherever you are, if you feel the music, dance.
