Le Monde Est Chaud

[Machine Translation] Leading Afro-reggae artist Tiken Jah Fakhoury releases his first album in four years, since "Racine" in 2015! The album, which contains more than ever a passionate message for African youth who desire freedom and change, features collaborations with musicians such as Burundi-based Gael Faiyu, known in Japan as an up-and-coming musician who survived the civil war, and French SSW Kaledin Soltani, known for his work with the popular female singer Zaz. The musicians participate in the project as collaborators. Tiken's music is a scathing criticism of corrupt politics, the issue of female circumcision, and the promotion of the globalization movement, and his unique ensemble, which is based on the roots reggae style and includes traditional African instruments such as the kora and ngoni, presents a sound full of African identity. The band's sound is full of African identity.
