4.0 out of 5 stars Another Kind of Hip-Hop, Oct 18 2008

By Juan Mobili - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Many Lessons (Africa) (Audio CD)

I know better but the picture of the young man on the cover, at once contemplative and present, does render well what the music might invoke and evoke in you.

It is hip-hop but it's also from West Africa, a world away from the New York project housing and even farther from the bling. It is also Muslim, so the power of prayer packs as much a punch as the beats pouncing behind the words.

Some of it adheres more readily to more conventional samples, a few are rapped in French, but when the original languages are chosen over European words and drums and bass hit their African root, the results are stunning.

I won't mention favorites. This is one of those albums that deserves being entered without a map, ready to find the voices that speak to you. This is much more than a "curious collection" or one for the curious. This is powerful music, this is part of our world.
