Rap is extremely popular in Africa. One of the most popular groups is Bisso Na Bisso, which was founded in Paris by eight rappers with roots in Congo-Brazzaville. The eight of them complement each other well. In addition to the sensual raps of front woman Mpassi, the seven male members not only have voices from high to low, but also a wide range of striking throat sounds. That gives the group an
… unmistakably African accent, even though the raps are in French and the beats come from the computer. It's great that those beats are supplemented with acoustic instruments. For the closing song We Are Africa, the group collected an impressive list of successful African guest artists. Too bad the result sounds too sweet. No, the best song is the single Show Ce Soir, which is especially notable for the strong melody of the uplifting chorus. Proof that this group also manages to score without famous guests. (PdK)more
