情態副詞

I unsuccessfully tried to get into the Kenyan music industry.

我嘗試進入肯亞的音樂產業 卻不得其門而入。

I didn't sing fully in the slang derivative of Kiswahili

我沒用斯瓦希里語流行的新用語唱，

so they said Kenyans wouldn't listen to a Kenyan who sounded like me.

他們說肯亞人不會聽 像我這種風格的肯亞人。

based on their perceived deviation from the norms,

goes to the root of the problems in Kenya.

因認定其偏離 自己所認知的常態，

Kenya was invented by colonialists in 1895,

and with it, came the erasure of our identity

So by 1963, when we received our independence,

社會階級建構在異己的觀念上。

these ideas had already become the new normal.

Now, we've tried a lot of different ways to move forward since.

異己的觀念已然成為新的常態。

We have a common language, currency, infrastructure,

至此我們嘗試過 許多不同的改革方式。

basically all the things that make a country a country.

我們有共同的語言、貨幣、基礎建設，

基本上，建構國家的必要條件都具備了。

we cannot build what we do not truly love.

And we cannot love until we love ourselves.

我們無法成就那些 ── 並非真心去愛的事物；

而我們無法真心去愛， 直到我們先愛自己。

The idea that Kenya can only include some of us

led me to found a music festival in 2008 called Blankest and Wine,

肯亞僅能接納部份的人的觀念，

to give a platform to myself and other misfits.

促使我在 2008 年創立 「毛毯與葡萄酒」音樂節，

Ten years later, we've programmed over 200 bands

為我跟其他的格格不入者 打造一個舞台。

10 年之後，我們策劃過 200 多個樂團演出，

directly into the hands of artists and managers,

who have in turn spent it on technicians, rehearsals,

music videos and other things along the music value chain.

他們進而將資源投資在技師、排演、

Our platform has allowed for multiple Kenyan identities to exist,

音樂錄影帶或音樂 產業鏈的其他環節上。

while inspiring the industry to discover and engage

此平台讓肯亞的多元認同並存，

What we do is necessary but insufficient.

And we must urgently pivot into a live music circuit.

我們所做是必要的，但仍不足。

But there are other ways music can help heal the nation.

我們得立即轉型為流動的音樂圈。

According to a 2018 state of media report,

但音樂還有其他方法可以幫助肯亞。

traditional radio is sill by far the biggest distributor of ideas in Kenya,

根據 2018 年的國家媒體調查報告

with 47 percent of Kenyans still choosing radio first.

傳統電台目前仍是肯亞最大的媒體，

對 47% 的肯亞人而言， 收音機仍是他們的首選。

We can use radio to help Kenyans hear the diversity that is Kenya.

We can reserve 60 percent of all programing on Kenyan radio

我們可以透過電台讓肯亞人 聽見肯亞的多元性。

by playing Kenyan music done in English, Kiswahili

藉由播放囊括：英文、 斯瓦希里語

on what is now single-language ethnic radio.

Radio can help stimulate interest and demand

在那些目前使用 單一民族語言的電台。

while also providing the much-needed incomes

同時透過音樂版權提供急需的收入。

radio can help us build a more inclusive narrative about Kenya.

電台可以協助打造 囊括多元詮釋的肯亞。

For you cannot love what you do not know exists.

因為你無法去愛──你不知道的存在。

Other creative industries too can do the work.

其他藝文創意產業也可以為此貢獻。

When you consider that 41 percent of Kenyans

it's obvious that film has a huge potential.

The meager resources that have been put into the sector

像：露琵塔 • 尼詠歐和瓦努莉 • 卡修，

but we are going to need a lot more incentives and investments

但我們必須提供更多誘因及投資，

so more Kenyan stories can get on the Kenyan TV

好讓更多肯亞的故事 在肯亞電視上播放，

and spark off the really difficult conversations

並激發出我們所需的深度對話。

We're going to need to grow a lot more home-grown stars,

才能獲得母國的接受 與認可的既定印象。

before we get the acceptance and validation of home.

to affordably mass-produce Kenyan clothes for Kenyan consumers,

如此便不再需要進口的二手貨。

so we don't all have to rely on second-hand imports.

epitomized by Kenyan runners, who are literally world-class.

Kenyans may finally consider themselves worthy

肯亞的創意文化產業是不斷發展的、

在不久的將來，會發展成真正的製造業。

a true manufacturing industry of the immediate future.

But its true power lies in its ability to help heal the psyche of Kenya,

so we can finally build a nation for real.

唯此，我們終將能打造一個真正的國家。
