Product Description

Album Description

2009 release. Recorded primarily in Kingston, Jamaica where K'Naan was granted unprecedented access by his friends Stephen and Damian Marley to their father Bob Marley's original home studio at 56 Hope Road and the legendary Tuff Gong studios Troubadour is a Hip Hop album like no other. K'Naan successfully blends samples and live instrumentation for a sound that's both rooted in traditional African melodies and the classic Hip Hop tradition. Features Kirk Hammett of Metallica on the song 'If Rap Gets Jealous'.

5.0 out of 5 stars More "produced" sound, but still K'naan!, Feb 26 2009
This review is from: Troubadour (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
By 
F. Freeman (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Troubadour (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
This review is from: Troubadour (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.
