In this clip from the news show «Journal Rappé» from 2014 Senegalese hip hop pioneer Xuman used the famous hit «Formidable» by Stromae and turned it into a parody on a fallen local politician.

Rapping the News in Senegal

Rapping the News in Senegal

By Aisha Deme on October 31, 2017

By Aisha Deme and Jenny Fatou Mbaye on 31 October 2017 in  VIDEO

Since 2013 the Senegalese news show «Journal Rappé» merges rap with daily news. The concept of the two hip hop pioneers Keyti and Xuman is innovative and creative, as our authors think; and the means of parody has become crucial to the show.

«Norient ist zu dem geworden, was die

zeitweise einmal war: ein Thinktank,
der über den globalen Mainstream
