		<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[We&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of classic Congolese music lately.  Time to move to other countries and other decades for a few posts.  
We&#8217;ll head back to contemporary Senegal today.  Benn loxo du taccu is a Wolof proverb, afterall&#8230;
The other night my friend Laurent, who lived in Senegal for about a decade, [...]]]></description>

		<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>

		<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>

His MySpace page is full of music from his latest project, Kuduro Sound System.  (Love that picture of him arm wrestling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chérif Mbaw has the voice of a young Youssou, the guitar of Pape &#038; Cheikh and the feel of Cheikh Lô.  In other words, he sounds like everything I like about contemporary Senegalese music.
You might have heard him already Benn loxo.  If you didn&#8217;t here&#8217;s another chance with a track from his first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s interesting to hear how West African musicians have changed their style over the years.  The melodies remain the same, but gone are the synths of yesteryear.  World music audiences these days are all about acoustic guitar, djembe and double-bass.  They don&#8217;t dig the drum machine like they used to.
Listen to early [...]]]></description>

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>

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>
