		<description><![CDATA[
I spent a week in Senegal in April for the first time since October, 2006.
The city has changed a lot superficially: many highways and flyovers have been built, posh Iranian-made taxis fill the streets, and glittering new nightclubs with a 15 Euro entry and leather shoe requirement have sprung-up all over the Almadies neighbourhood.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Been busy with the French elections and enjoying the out of control amazing French weather of late.  I&#8217;m back, though, with about 600 new tracks to dig through, select and post for the Benn loxo crowd.
In 2003, Ben Herson and Daniel Cantor of Nomadic Wax headed to Dakar with a mobile studio.  They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ben Herson, aka Benny Beats, founder of Nomadic Wax, took his mobile studio down to Dakar a few years ago in search of unknown Senegalese MCs.  
His African Underground and Mapito recordings are fantastic collections of Senegalese and Tanzanian hiphop.  I&#8217;ve already featured some on Benn loxo, and I&#8217;m sure many of you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During all the Kuduro hype started up by Benn loxo contributor, Boima, several people noted that French electro musician and producer Frédéric Galliano has been really active on the Kuduro scene lately.  His MySpace page is full of music from his latest project, Kuduro Sound System.  (Love that picture of him arm wrestling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quick post today from the golden age of West African salsa.  Guinean salsero, Amara Touré, was part of a group of pre-independence salsa pioneers in Guinea and Senegal.  Touré along with others like Laba Sosseh and the Star Band de Dakar kickstarted a West African salsa musical movement that enjoyed widespread success until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Positive Black Soul was one of the first Dakar hip-hop groups to break onto the international scene.  They&#8217;re universally respected by hip-hop kids in Senegal, and helped inspire a whole generation of new rap groups.  Thanks to PBS and those early years of Dakar hip-hop&#8217;s rise there was suddenly underground rap fans in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of my friends here have had a relatively rough rainy season.  Despite the sun, surf and mean brochettes there are occasional downsides to living in Dakar.  One friend has typhoid, another has malaria, a few are stressed for reasons best described by financial stamps and rubber cachets, and others are contemplating leaving [...]]]></description>

I got home at 6:30am this morning after a fantastic Paris Nuit Blanche.  There was just enough time for about an hour of sleep before I had to leave for the airport.  
During the flight the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve really been into Nuru Kane&#8217;s latest album, Sigil.  My father sent it to me a few weeks ago after reading a bunch of good reviews.  As I&#8217;ve been really busy lately it&#8217;s great that others have picked-up the crate digging slack for me.  
I absolutely love both of today&#8217;s tracks. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find traces and hard evidence of West African muscial influence pretty much everywhere I travel.  Tiken Jah cocktail bars in Palestine, Serere taxi drivers in Argentina, Wolof hiphop fans and Burundian dance parties in Canada, not to forget the frequent concerts, cultural events and random encounters in my current home, France.
