Rawan defines himself as a rapper and singer but during the workshop, Awadi gave him an advise: 'keep on rapping if you like, but don't neglect your voice and train yourself as a singer because your future is there'.
I do love his voice as a rapper and as a singer (he reminds me of Lenny Kravitz) and I'm sure he will have a great success soon.
During our festival he put his voice in two songs and sang in front of hundreds of people in a big concert. And a spanish recording team filmed a documentary about him.
A nice guy that deserves this and more.

I like this guy a lot and I'm proud and happy that he joined us in this fantastic project. Born in Nigeria and living in Dakar, with a stroke of luck soon we will hear them all over the world!
Rawan and Zolo together with the participation of Bouba Mendi (singer that gave his voice for the soundtrack of 'Kirikou and the Sorceress' with Youssou N'Dour), recorder two songs with La Voz de los Nadie and Didier Awadi at Studio Sankara.
The second song is a version of one of Awadi's songs called 'sunu gaal' wich means 'our canoe' (nuestra piragua) in wolof. And that is the origin of the word Senegal !!
Here you have the second song recorder during these days in Dakar:

Que voces mas estupendas!!
Ojala les pase como a Youssou N'Dour y sean conocidos en todas partes.
Youssou N'Dour es el músico que hizo ese dueto tan estupendo con Neneh Cherry?? 7 seconds?
Coño!! 13 años, si que es una promesa, si, y tanto.
Masmi, ojalá. A mí me encantaría ver cumplido su sueño...
Fanmaki, sí, ese es Youssou N'Dour. Un tema con un estilo muy distinto a lo que él suele hacer, pero demostrando lo que vale con su inconfundible voz
Mao lo es. Si le oyeras en directo alucinarías....
Si lo oyeras en directo alucinarías...(léase con tono ñoño y un poquito cabrón). Te ha faltado añadir: ..pero como no estás aquí...
Ves como cada día me das más motivos para odiarte. :-P
Mao... pero si nos acabamos de conocer!! y yo que esperaba que la próxima vez que nos encontraramos me dieras un abrazo.... :D
Pero si todo va bien, no tardarás mucho en oírles en directo, ya verás ;-) y así te daré motivos para que no me odies más :D
¿Nos acabamos de conocer?...Casi ni eso, pero la próxima vez no te daré un abrazo...te daré dos o tres.
Vale! así me gusta ; )
