african horn hip hop
6 August, 2007 | No comments | Category: musiqa
the past 10years or so have seen a birth of the horn of african hip hop genre
talk about diversity. the musicians range from the spoken word african american artist mike-e, born in Ethiopia. to the ethioamerican burntface from Cali. to k’naan somali refugee from moqadishu..and out of ethiopia… tewodros and abraham
when u’re successful everyone will claim u, some cynics say…mike-e self-identifies with the horn-ethio. somali and eritrean cultures share much with ethiosomali and eri traditions. well, ethiopia is a mishmash anyhow, no?
embrace and explore
amature: gabriel teodros -- east africa
mike-e -- ethiopia (“everything will be alright”)
burntface -- the profit
k’naan -- soobax
tewodros and abraham
