African Underground: Democracy in Dakar - Episode 6
Posted on: March 25, 2007 user submitted | Views: | Comment
In Senegal all rappers have a dream. Whether that dream lives in the
spiritual, political or material realm, they all seek success and fame
in these realms. But can this dream be achieved in Senegal - a country
where the recourses are vastly limited and thousands of youth die every
year trying to flee to Europe in small boats? Episode 6 - "The African
Dream" addresses this question, and the desire for rappers in Senegal to
export their music and live abroad. Featuring an interview (and
freestyle) with legend Didier Awadi (of Positive Black Soul fame) and
the track "Fresh Time Pt 1" by Zoo Squad off the album African
Underground: Depths of Dakar.
