- “Stories can be nonlinear. They’re powerful tools.” Filmmaker, artist, and writer Blitz Bazawule describes how his grandmother’s storytelling in Ghana led him to create art in many mediums, including writing his debut novel “The Scent of Burnt Flowers” and directing the musical feature adaptation of “The Color Purple.” #DailyShow #Comedy

Went to Kent state university with him! My dad was the director of the African community Theatre during that time where he was in his class and did a few plays with him! Phenomenal guy much love and congratulations!
Man it’s crazy to see how far he has come! I remember doing the black market video!
As a Ghanaian I must say I'm really proud of you Blitz, for how far you've come. Ever since I watched the Burial of Kojo, I have been hooked to your works. Being a digital artist and Graphic Designer who loves rap and authentic highlife music, I can say you have paved the way for we the young ones. Much love brother
I remember when this guy used to rap here in Ghana. Kudos man.
@@Instabruh.User.. please sit down, u seem dizzy.
I remember when he offered Loki and Female Loki the chance to oversee the Prime Timeline.
Give us two bars 🧐 from the Blitz The Ambassador / Bazaar oeuvre if you really remember.🧐
Congrats trevor noah for hitting 10 million subscribers!!
He'll get his diamond play button soon
Blitz supposed to be the yardstick of success for Ghanaian youth because he navigated his way through to become what he is today...What an inspirational young man
The way Blitz is gonna get an Oscar Nom as Best Director for The Color Purple!
It is so kind and cute from him to said( Trevor is the first person he thought about 🥰)
Trevor said about the point( About people who are connected by so many things and yet have so many things that actually make them different.)
It is very interesting point to understand more deep!
Double Consciousness, very wise to said it like that.
Sometimes we should learn and apply this to our minds, i love it and will learn from that.
Sometimes is hard to deal thing in life, but hope if i could learn about this double consciousness! maybe could help me many different ways of dealing with life in general.
Appreciate you both 🙏 please put more positive vibes in this world, the young generation need 🙏
💚
More often than not, genius is very KOOL!
What a warm, inspiring, beautiful human this man is. Aside from the main focus of the interview i.e book, movie, music, the words he found to explain trying to find who you are when you are pulled by your own identity into "who am I". I have never lived in another country but the one I was born into ( thru choice), but the why he communicated the struggle allowed the none experienced an incite that captivated.
Blitz has been one of my favorites inspiration. Proudly Ghanaian. 🇬🇭
Such a surreal interview to watch, well done , Blitz…. Keep soaring. Blessings !!! 🇬🇭
I really enjoyed this interview. This gentleman is so well-rounded and talented in so many ways.👍👏
I am so proud to watch and see an old friend from high school do so well! Congratulations Baza!
I need no introduction to Blitz...was introduced to his music back in college days at KSU. Great artist. Congrats on your success Blitz.
As in Mitch Richmond Run TMC
I remember those KSU days!
The Native Son! Always inspiring!!! A staple on my playlist. Keep soaring man!!! We are so proud of you
Trevor always has great guest on his show!!👌🏽
I am from Ghana and I can say i am proud of this man, he's inspiring me
I just purchased the Audible book of his book. The Audible narrator has a wonderful voice. I guarantee you will love it.
Blessings to both of you…
I can't wait to watch this AND read it!
My parents were active in the 60s and 70s and when I was young there was talk about expat countries ... and theses days feel alot like those days, of you know what I'm saying ;/
I can't wait to read this book either. Going from a world where everything is within fingers' reach to going to a world where only scant amounts of things are even available must be a complete culture shock. I remember just moving from NYC to South Florida, the culture shock was everywhere & in everything. Perfect example: in NYC, a Wife was on par with a Husband. In Florida, a Wife was her Husband's property, to be done with, whatever he chose.
So encouraging and Inspiring, I love Ghana my husbands motherland. Praying we bring something positive and great for this beautiful country 🇬🇭 and Africa!
Can’t wait to see the new The Color Purple 💜💜💜
Absolutely Amazing. So happy for Blitz. Keep flying man.
"...well first, No African Has only one job..." #FactsOnFacts
I'm reading the book... I'm from Albuquerque NM USA but I've been to Ghana and love ❤️ Ghana and reading about the places I've been such as Cape Coast is wonderful ❤️
Proud Ghanaian 🇬🇭🇬🇭
I went to college with Blitz at Kent State! I got to be apart of his beginning stages. I’m so proud of you Sam!
Keep shining Akora!
Blitz 🙌🏿 !! Keep raising the flag 🇬🇭 high !! His music is equally inspiring
Blitz is Phenomenal!... I tap into such grace 😍😍😍🙏
Intelligent interview, intelligent man. 🔥🔥😤💪🏿
That's my Kingman,Blitz Bazawule
I LOVE his book's premise twist where the main characters escape TO Africa.
Yeah... Something which has never happened in the history of human kind.
@@captain_context9991 You are racist and live in a warped reality.
Maybe you forgot about the Europeans, pre-Islamic & Islamic Arabs, Christians, Chinese, Polynesians, "adventurous' white people, black people sick of racial oppression, and so on.
Thanks for bringing such an incredible guest.
Africa representing
Congrats to the Brother Blitz!!!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Trevor : How do you capture the essence of something while also bringing elements of the new and then making sure that worlds merge together ?
Blitz : how you did it ?
Trevor : whaaah ?
Blitz : How you did it ?
Realness recognizing realness 👏🏽
Can’t wait to watch the movie based on his book born a crime !! He promised it before Covid, I ain’t forgetting nothing! Where’s our status update on that Trevor ?
I've always found that when people paid due respect to the original, every aspect that brought it to life, to begin with, & then incorporated elements of themself into it, they not only captured the essence of the original, they reached out to those who never knew of its existence, in the first place.
"No matter where you go in life, never forget where you came from".
Excellent show, Trevor! 🤗
Congratulations on 10M.
Ghana in the House!!!!
To escape to Africa in the 60s is an interesting perspective. Another must read! I really enjoy watching Black Men Communicate. I love to hear about our success stories and how people have taken this pandemic and created new ways to grow and prosper. Great interview Trevor 😊
I’ve been listening to Blitz the Ambassador for years and had no idea he had so much else going on! What an amazing guy!
Incredible talent, incredible guy. used to live in the same hood.
Akora Samuel Bazawule the Great Achinotan
Blitz The Ambassador. Just as I was wondering why he hasn't dropped anything in ages.

He did that I am trusting his process great meeting Blitz need to get more
🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ghana man on the rise🇬🇭
Amazing interview 👏 👌
When Native Sun came out on CZcams before the album dropped, I was like, “Madood, do you know that I’m bout to record this on my laptop and blast it in my car without paying for it?!”
But then, I loved it sooo much- loved the visuals on CZcams so much, that when the album was finally released, I was like “This man boutta get ALL my money- ioneen care, I guess I’m boutta have two Native Sun albums on my puter 🤷🏾♀️”
As a Ghanaian. I feel so sad that my own country doesn't support the likes of Blitz to soar higher but we do well outside of our own home. It really hurts. I'm happy for him. Hope our Ghanaian leaders see this to make a quick change now.
Nonsense
I agree! I just found out about him
it's really interesting that the color purple is in vogue, it was just turned into a musical in brazil as well
there is hope for a Ghanaian to win an OSCAR now
Bazaar da don pooo pooo be blowing ma horn… East Legon last 2 we bringing it on
Trevor, l love looking through the lenses of your eyes 👀! Keep bringing these diverse guests to your Daily show!👏🏽💕👏🏽
Black Americans struggle with it as well. No idea where we are from, never quite feeling accepted and a sense of home.. not fully. Stay blessed family.
Well done Akora! Proud of you
I find this conversation comforting
Blitz!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great legend, very insightful listening to this, thanks for sharing.
Muy interesante. 🤔
K'Naan! 👌🏾

I hope Trevor Noah sees this my comment.
It is my wish to have a conversation with him about Africa, soils, seeds and fruiting.
I will explain to you all what I mean.
I am smelling they burnt Noah from some places
opportunist, nothing more.

I have so much respect and appreciation for you. I appreciate what I have learned from you. Thank you!.
My growing love for crypto caused me to explore until I came across Jim (although I'm trying to avoid sensationalism) Brin is by far the best. No hype for hype's sake, but great inspiration to trade Crypto...
Thanks for this useful information, I was thinking of investing in bitcoin..
