Créé en 1992 par Faada Freddy et N'Dongo D, Daara J deviendra « Daara J Family » en wolof, français et anglais sur des beats rap, ragga et soul, ils font un mélange original et leur renommée passera rapidement les frontières du Sénégal pour exporter sa culture autant empreinte des influences traditionnelles africaines que du hip hop et de la soul. En bons ambassadeurs du Sénégal ils ont assuré les premières parties de Peter Gabriel , Zebda, les Rita Mitsouko, Wyclef Jean, Avo ou encore Mos Def. Avec plus d'un milliers de concerts ils ont participé à de nombreux festivals français. En 1997, ils signent un contrat avec le label français Déclic et enregistrent à Paris « Daara-J » mixé par le DJ anglais Mad Professor. Un premier album rap aux influences hip hop, reggae et soul.

Du hip hop de très bonne qualité, du reggae travaillé avec le plus grand soin, un mélanges de funk, de ballades et de mélodies hypnotiques, un flow tantôt bouillonnant, tantôt presque vindicatif, tantôt beaucoup plus festif, des arrangements fouillés et des rythmes à chaque instant renouvelés, rien n'a été laissé au hasard sur un épatant « School Of Life » un album engagé au Rap éclectique et un son plein de sonorité aussi différentes les unes que les autres mais qui s'accorde parfaitement a leurs voix, leur message, un mélange de Funk, de Soul, de Reggae et de sonorités africaines, entre tradition et modernité ils nous font danser avec des tubes comme « Celebrate » mais on retrouve aussi des titres émouvants comme « Gates Of Freedom ».

    ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Monday - Thursday, 6:30-8:30, Craig-Lee 252 http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ In its rise to the top of the American popular music scene, Hip-hop has taken on all comers, and issued beatdown after beatdown. Yet how many of its fans today know the origins of the music? Sure, people might have heard something of Afrika Bambaataa or Grandmaster Flash, but how about the Last Poets or Grandmaster CAZ? For this class, we’ve booked a ride on the wayback machine which will take us all the way back to Hip-hop’s precursors, including the Blues, Calypso, Ska, and West African griots. From there, we’ll trace its roots and routes through the ‘parties in the park’ in the late 1970’s, the emergence of political Hip-hop with Public Enemy and KRS-One, the turn towards “gangsta” style in the 1990’s, and on into the current pantheon of rappers. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the essential elements of Hip-hop culture, including Breaking (breakdancing), Writing (graffiti), and Rapping, with a special look at the past and future of turntablism and digital sampling. Our two required textbook are Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) and Neal and Forman’s That's the Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader are both available at the RIC campus store. Films shown in part or in whole will include Bamboozled, Style Wars, The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy, Wild Style, and Zebrahead; there will is also a course blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources at http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ WRITTEN WORK: An informal response to our readings and listenings is due each week on the blog.

This article critically considers the legacy of hybridity in African popular music studies and questions whether contemporary African engage- ments with diasporic popular musics like hip hop call for new interpretations of musical genre. Through ethnographic research with hip hoppers in Senegal, I explore how practices of musical intertextuality reinscribe global connections as diasporic ones and challenge the conditions for musical hybridity.

  • Reclaiming Our Subjugated Truths: Using Hip-Hop As a Form of Decolonizing Public Pedagogy the Case of Didier Awadi
    RECLAIMING OUR SUBJUGATED TRUTHS: USING HIP-HOP AS A FORM OF DECOLONIZING PUBLIC PEDAGOGY THE CASE OF DIDIER AWADI by Joanna Daguirane Da Sylva B.A., Manhattan College, 2007 M.A., The New School University, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FUFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Educational Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Joanna Daguirane Da Sylva, 2016 Abstract When walking through the streets of Dakar, hip-hop makes its way through the radios of the city. Hip-hop has been a prominent and influential music genre and culture in Senegal since the 1980s. Hip-hop music has been used by Senegalese to cover the social, economic and political life of the country, and to promote political activism among the youth. Rapping was not born in a vacuum in Senegal but subtly continues the long-standing tradition of storytelling through spoken words and music, griotism. Moving away from hip-hop stereotypes, defined by critics as violent, racist, homophobic, sexist, materialistic, misogynistic and vulgar, my case study focuses on critical and conscious Senegalese hip-hop, which embraces hip-hop social and educational movements utilized to voice societal injustice and challenge the status quo. Senegalese hip-hop is a platform for political activists to denounce institutional racism, Western domination, poverty, and national corruption, with the hope of contributing to a better and just society that recognizes and legitimizes knowledges and voices of formerly colonized Africans. Didier Awadi is one of the most talented, conscientious, influential and revolutionary hip-hop artists and political activists of the continent.

  • Rapper Im Senegal. Die Botschaft Der Straße
    RAPPER IM SENEGAL: DIE BOTSCHAFT DER STRASSE Hans-Jörg Heinrich Vorwort Der folgende Text beruht auf Beobachtungen und Recherchen zu meinem Film Botschafter ihres Volkes1 und bezieht sich in weiten Teilen auf die im Rahmen des Films erstellten Interviews und Gespräche 2 mit senega- lesischen Rappern sowie deren Fans. Ergänzt wird der Aufsatz durch die Lektüre ausgewählter Berichte und Aufsätze, die im Internet zu finden waren. Es handelt sich um die Entwicklung des senegalesischen Rap sowie um eine Situationsbeschreibung aus den Jahren 2003 bis 2005. Die senegalesi- sche Rapszene ist die erste frankophone afrikanische und nach der südafri- kanischen die am weitesten entwickelte und einflussreichste Szene des af- rikanischen Kontinents. Rap ² ein weltweites Phänomen Seit den 1970er Jahren hält der Rap seinen Siegeszug um die Welt. Urs- prünglich von ausgegrenzten Jugendlichen meist dunkler Hautfarbe in den Wohnblocks der Bronx entwickelt, wächst die Lust am Reimen bei Jugend- lichen insbesondere in den ärmsten Ländern und in ausgegrenzten Bevölke- rungsschichten. So gibt es HipHop in den Vorstädten der großen afrikani- schen und lateinamerikanischen Städte ebenso wie in den Reservaten der australischen Aborigins oder der kleinen Insel Réunion, an der Universität von Dakar oder in einer deutschen Kleinstadt. Auch ist Rap schon lange kein ausschließlich urbanes Phänomen mehr. So gibt es den Bauern in der Schweiz, der von seinem Trecker herunterrappt, ebenso wie denjenigen in 1 Vgl.

    Mbalax: Cosmopolitanism in Senegalese Urban Popular Music Timothy Roark Mangin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Timothy Roark Mangin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Mbalax: Cosmopolitanism in Senegalese Urban Popular Music Timothy Roark Mangin This dissertation is an ethnographic and historical examination of Senegalese modern identity and cosmopolitanism through urban dance music. My central argument is that local popular culture thrives not in spite of transnational influences and processes, but as a result of a Senegalese cosmopolitanism that has long valued the borrowing and integration of foreign ideas, cultural practices, and material culture into local lifeways. My research focuses on the articulation of cosmopolitanism through mbalax, an urban dance music distinct to Senegal and valued by musicians and fans for its ability to shape, produce, re-produce, and articulate overlapping ideas of their ethnic, racial, generational, gendered, religious, and national identities. Specifically, I concentrate on the practice of black, Muslim, and Wolof identities that Senegalese urban dance music articulates most consistently. The majority of my fieldwork was carried out in the nightclubs and neighborhoods in Dakar, the capital city. I performed with different mbalax groups and witnessed how the practices of Wolofness, blackness, and Sufism layered and intersected to articulate a modern Senegalese identity, or Senegaleseness. This ethnographic work was complimented by research in recording studios, television studios, radio stations, and research institutions throughout Senegal. The dissertation begins with an historical inquiry into the foundations of Senegalese cosmopolitanism from precolonial Senegambia and the spread of Wolof hegemony, to colonial Dakar and the rise of a distinctive urban Senegalese identity that set the proximate conditions for the postcolonial cultural policy of Négritude and mbalax.

    GENERATION “FLY TO FLY”: URBAN TRANSFORMATION, NEW COSMOPOLITANISM, AND THE POLITICS OF WOMEN'S VOICING IN DAKAR, SENEGAL Ali Colleen Neff A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication Studies (Cultural Studies) in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Christopher T. Nelson Lawrence Grossberg Louise Meintjes Renee Alexander Craft Michael Palm © 2013 Ali Colleen Neff ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ali Colleen Neff: Generation “Fly to Fly”: Urban Transformation, New Cosmopolitanism, and the Politics of Women's Voicing in Dakar, Senegal (Under the direction of Christopher T. Nelson and Lawrence Grossberg) The research from which this dissertation is drawn was conducted in 2009-2012 with women vocalists and other cultural and religious practitioners throughout the region of Dakar, Senegal, rural sites in the Sine-Saloum Delta, and the inland Sufi pilgrimage sites of Touba and Prokhane. Using a series of ethnographic methodologies, I approach the phenomenon of Dakroise women’s sounding through the amplifier of media anthropology, in which sound, sensation, and indigenous discourses on culture and the arts illuminate contemporary Senegalese cultural practice. These contexts evidence the specific, cumulative ways in which music works for the women of Dakar. At the same time, I examine the broader current sociopolitical conjuncture at work on Senegalese culture, in which a global economic crisis, the mass migration and emigration of Senegalese young people, new movements in international Islam, and national political and legal strife shape the dimensions of women’s creativity.
