Product Description

Product Description

2009 release.

5.0 out of 5 stars More "produced" sound, but still K'naan! Feb 26 2009
Format:Audio CD
K'naan's new album Troubadour features an arguably more "polished", or "produced" sound, but that is not to say it loses any of what makes it a terrific album that is still K'naan to the core. He retains his unique sound of hip-hip laced with African beats, this time featuring some "big names" in music courtesy of Damian Marley, Mos Def, Kirk Hammett and Adam Levine. K'naan is a poet, musician, survivor and above all, a storyteller. You can savour the melodies of these songs while embracing the vivid and poetic images he paints with his lyrics.

K'naan plays a phenomenal live set if you ever get to check him out, consider yourself lucky. It's a moving experience to say the least!

Pick up this album to support quality Canadian music. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Generous Music Aug 7 2009
Format:Audio CD
i loved K'naan's first album, and i love this too. Not only is the music excellent, ranging all over the shop: rock, rap, even straight up disco (he pulls it off); the lyrics open up a world, the life of a Somalian who has moved to North America. He is a troubadour bringing his songs of life in places we will never get to, but you could buy this just for the beats if that is what you seek.

4.0 out of 5 stars Music for all ages April 5 2010
Format:Audio CD
I'm not part of the traditional rap generation, but I just love this CD. Having worked in Africa I can really appreciate how far he has come and I admire his creativity, tenacity and talent.
