Documents the role of Hip
Hop in 2007 Senegalese elections. Rap music and Hip Hop culture
really began to explode out of the streets and sprawling shanty-town
suburbs of Dakar in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A response
to decades of single party political rule with little attention
paid to urban poverty, unemployment, crime, and corruption,
emcees, graffiti writers, and DJ’s used their music and
spray cans to educate and empower each other. The director
is willing to come. From NYC http://www.africanunderground.com
