If your not keeping up with the excellent Sahel Sounds blog, you should be ashamed. The Music from Saharan Cellphones cassettes are some of the most awesome tapes from Africa I have ever heard, and Chris kindly shares his trades with his corespondents on the regular. His latest treat is not technically from the Sahara, but the mp3 is. A Malian rapper spits over an almost straight up juke beat. Those claps belong in Chicago, ‘the hell is he doing with them out there? Whatever, I may not be able to understand what he’s saying, but I approve.
They didn’t fix the track name up on Sahel Sounds. It’s actually called Alhamdoulilaye, and he’s saying thanks god!
thanks Boima!
