World Music: Daara J, "Boomerang"

(Senegal) Daara J means "School of Life" and is one of the premiere rap bands to come out of the vibrant Senegalese hip hop scene. The members of Daara J are Alhadji Man, Faada Freddy, and Ndongo D. Senegalese rap is characterized by its integrity - rappers are expected to be society's conscience and vision. "Boomerang" is about the circular journey of rap from its roots in Africa, its development in the US, and its migration back to Africa - like a boomerang. The guest voice is Mali's Rokia Traore, and the sassy video is a wonderful efflorescence of color, animation, and energy.
