		<description><![CDATA[BBC Sound System are a Senegalese hiphop group based in Paris, France.  Their 2003 release, Na Banko, resurfaced in my collection lately thanks to a random shuffle.   
Once again I&#8217;m reminded how Wolof is a great rapping language.. so angular, filled with rhyming sounds.  
Unfortunately it&#8217;s not much more than a [...]]]></description>

Apparently I have no friends in Chad.
Not surprisingly, the US, France, Germany and England dominate the charts.  I have friends in Senegal, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Egypt so those countries [...]]]></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[Benn loxo listener Chief Boima comes through with a great Afro-Portuguese hiphop guest post today:
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why but I too have become infatuated with Afro-Portuguese music.  Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m Sierra Leonean and the Portuguese were the first to colonize before the British, and some Portuguese words survived in Krio like &#8220;sabi.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

But I need a break after the overdrive of carols&#8230; so I was digging through my collection this afternoon and decided to put together a little [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been busy sorting out a move, working, traveling and fighting back the cold, Parisian rain.  If any of you live up around Canal Saint Martin [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought after all the buzz around the Awadi post I&#8217;d post some more current Senegalese hip-hop today.
The other half of Positive Black Soul, Duggy Tee (formerly Doug-E Tee &#8211; gotta love that name change), also has his own solo thing going on.  Personally I think that Awadi has more talent, but Duggy Tee [...]]]></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 you probably have Emmanuel Jal and Abdel Gadir Salim&#8217;s album Ceasefire already but I haven&#8217;t yet posted it on Benn loxo.  
Nominated for the 2006 BBC World Music Awards, Emmanuel Jal has risen from obscurity to become one of Africa&#8217;s most well-known rappers.
He&#8217;s a good musician in his own right, but Jal&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
