It's not easy, but the freedom is worth taking ...
Some accuse the new wave of artists, to want to be stars before the craft. And some more and more answer that it's also an art of playing the star, because the job of star is an art, at the era of reality shows, how do you like this situation can you be a star without art, or to be a star is also an art?
\Does Africa really need this today? Some even think that they play football in space ... Africa should find the toolbox of ancestors .... Stop to dance only, since we already know how to dance before even walking. It is necessary to work it is the only way to salvation…
Music in Africa seems to be rich in styles, but poor in the exploitation of talents in your opinion what is missing? why things seem so complicated for artists in Africa
In any case it is not only music ... It's mostly folklore. Traditional rhythms ... Reason why I speak of toolbox because it is the crucible which has the secret ... What is bothersome is that the last educators of the kinds of the deep Africa are scarce
... and the youth without reference are doing the best they can ... That's what gives the amalgam we see today.
It’s been a while that the public is been waiting for your 3rd album… when can we expect it?
If all is well by March, the next album will be released ...
At the end of this interview do you have a special word to the public what are your new year resolutions? Do you have some concert dates with your band Zaki Groove?
I'll go to India for the end of the album ... Then I'll keep you posted
Zaki, Flashmag and his readership say thank you for this interview.
