"What this former Senegal rapper produces takes inspiration from afroblues, folk, reggae and sometime afrobeat. His acoustic style does not look like any other: genuine, with the strength and the mystery of the African « desert blues ». After his first album supported by France INTER and highly acclaimed by the critics of World Music, the young singer with raspy voice prepares a second album for the beginning of 2013 while performing occasionally on live shows."  France Culture

 

Few months after the release of « Tomorrow » in 2013,  album greeted with rave reviews from the World Music critics, LËK SÈN, restless creator, is already presenting his new opus « Hope Inna Afreeka ».

The ambiance created contrasts naturally with the lyrics, like a hymn to encourage these children.
Puppa Lëk Sèn signs this single, a subtle mix of African Blues, Reggae, of Senegalese Rythms, supported by a calabash and of dance, which he calls the « Kannassu music » (Crazy music).
This song was written and composed by Puppa Lëk Sèn (Singing, guitar, calabash , drums) and Christophe Laxenaire (keyboard, bass guitar). Production, Realization by JAHSEN CREATION.

Puppa LËK SÈN comes from hip hop, he was revealed by RFI in 2007 with his band "SSK"; since then his inspirations have been sailing between reggae, world music African blues and urban music. Eight years after his departure from Senegal, he proposes a 100% hip hop song, written in Jamaican language to pay tribute to Marcus Garvey and to Jamaican people, respectful of their African origins.
