Faada Freddy – Senegal

Gospel revisited by African Rap singer Abdoul Fatah Seck

Body percussion, heartbeats and finger clicks enliven this very African and innovative soul music.

We might not know where we are going, but we know where we come from.

Serere proverb

Faada Freddy is part of Daara J, one of the biggest rap groups in Senegal. Here he presents a performance with no instruments but for voice and body percussion. With heartbeats and finger clicks, Faada Freddy fascinates with his singular voice to produce a refined form of pop music full of soul and gospel, two of the major genres that have their origins in African music.
