DAARA J

Their first album "Daara J" was released in 1994 and they were the first Senegalese rap band to tackle up front the religious issues as well as other strong social, political and spiritual issues. Their second album "Xalima" was released in 1998 and had a curator from the House of Slaves contribute which is where the boats of the ebony commerce sailed. The great strength of their new album is undoubtedly that it forces us to rethink our accepted ideas on Africa and its so called “lateness” compared to the Occident.

What hits you immediately when you listen to Daara J’s new album is its great musical quality. “In our music, the melody is always the starting point”. At their beginning because of their lack of means, it meant rapping on some instrumental French or American raps compiled on a tape, or with only the backup of a beatbox or of a few percussion instruments. In that case, one of them would sing the melodic parts. Talk about harsh apprenticeship? But in adversity and unrewarding environment, N’Dango D, Aladji Man and Faada Freddy learned to make the most of anything that came to hand.
