Thank you. [Music] Thank you. Thank you. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. Foreign. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. [Music] Thank you. Foreign. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Foreign. [Music] Thank you. [Music] Thank you. [Music] Ladies and gentlemen, we bring love and greetings from Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.

Survive! I must tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the music you're about to witness is band music. Okay, we cannot perform this song because... [Music] [Applause] [Music] Come on. Foreign. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. [Music] [Applause] Foreign. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. Trying to fight. [Applause] ers remote. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Come on. [Music] [Applause] Loving you to the maximum! All the people from all walks of life who bring love from Africa, welcome to Africa.

Although not physically, but spiritually, and culturally, and musically. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh yeah! [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Foreign. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] It's time! [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

Are you feeling all right, ladies and gentlemen? That was it for this afternoon. You enjoy the rest of the day. Come on, man! Come on! Ladies and gentlemen, we don't take it for granted that we are able to perform to you. We come from Uganda, but our fans are friends in Uganda. They can only watch us perform on social media, and they can only watch us on Facebook when they go through VPN because Facebook is also banned in Uganda.

Our music is banned in Uganda because I committed the worst crime, and that is contesting myself anyway. [Music] So while you are enjoying the music, I'm glad for you. [Music] Don't understand. I'm a brother and friend here. His name is Nubian Lee. He is the one that seconded me when I was being... but that was a resident.

I spent seven months in... for the first time that they let me perform, free dwelling. [Music] People power! Because... [Music] that will not programs. [Music] Example: [Music] I just want you to know one thing. Give me Justice anywhere, and a dictatorship anywhere is a threat to a democracy.

For 37 years... [Music] illegally the president... [Music] so many of our brothers away. I was away for more than eight months just for speaking the truth and expressing five political views. So we are not... we are not criminals. When we want Justice, we want citizens because [Music] of this world. [Music]

And Injustice anywhere is an injustice name, and then you have to speak this song. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Foreign. [Music] [Music] Another baby. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. [Music] [Music] Thank you. [Music] Foreign. [Applause] [Music] All right. [Music] Anyways. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

Everything. [Music] For me. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Thank you. [Music] Thank you. Don't you ever take your freedom for granted. It's always one step away from extinction. Here we are doing what should have been done by our grandfathers and mothers, and we're doing it because we want to save [Music] all of you, the people of America.

Like my brother said, oppression anywhere on Earth is a threat to freedom everywhere on Earth. For a long time, dictators have been tolerated in distant places because they believe that it's none of their business. I want to tell you, Americans, the freedom in Africa, you are part of it.

Whether you know or you don't know, we are responsible for each other. We find the opportunity. I'll be performing to the politicians in America, but I'm performing to people that are more important than politicians, and that is you, the taxpayers. The USA gives up to a billion dollars every year to... (inaudible) that is the money that is being used on our people for no crime whatsoever.

We know that if you push your leaders to change the policies in Africa, you can save us. We are not asking you to come and save us. We're asking you to stop sponsoring our oppression. We know that you have the freedom that we unfold. You have the ability to call your leaders, your representatives in Congress. [Music] In Africa, stop sponsoring military dictators in Africa. [Music]

In Somalia and many other parts in Africa. Last year, I traveled to Ukraine in the middle of the world. I want to tell you that that happens regularly in Africa. On the 18th and 19th on the street, yes, it was condemned by the U.S., but a few months later... [Music] We can do it all together. We should be united. [Music] Thank you. [Music] [Applause] [Music]

Foreign. [Music] Thank you. All right! [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Every day. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Thank you. Foreign. [Music] [Music] Because we choose. [Music] [Applause]

You know. [Music] Everything. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] It's gonna be fine. All right, let's go! [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Thank you! Understand. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

Foreign. [Music] [Music] Remember me. [Applause] [Music] [Music] It's gonna be mine. [Music] Tonight. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Fun! My name is... [Music] Thank you. Thank you. Yes, we celebrate pride. It doesn't matter whether we all get there, but at least I know some of us will get there.

We did not start this; we don't have to end it. We just have to keep the hope. [Music] Wind is... [Music] [Music] Thank you. [Music] Wow! Victory! [Music] Happy birthday! [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music]
