Opis

This book is a foray into the wake of slam, a fairly recent musical genre on the African continent and in Burkina Faso. This book is about slam in all its splendor. When and how was this musical genre born? How did it evolve? How is it doing in the country of the Honest Men? Does it have many followers? This book answers these legitimate questions and takes the reader on a wonderful journey into the world of slam. It deals not only with the style of this musical genre but also with the themes addressed by the Burkinabe slammers, notably Donsharp de Batoro, Malika la slamazone and Ombr Blanch. In this book, the reader will discover the quality of the texts of the slam but also the diversity of themes treated by these artists. This book is a showcase of slam in Burkina Faso.
