We are the remains
This is Number 11 in my occasional series of posts highlighting the music of my hometown, Paris, also a center of Europe's African diaspora.
The French rapper, Zoxea (Youtube screenshot).
Sage poet Zoxea and Busta Flex battle it out in “C’est nous les reustas.” Youssoupha (a name you must be familiar with by now), Indila, and Skalpovich are “Dreamin‘.” The group, 1995, recorded a clever video for ‘La suite‘. You recognize la Ville: Vibe returns with a video for “Je m’en bats” (shot in Swiss Geneva). And, in “Frère Soeur” Soraya (as the ‘sister’) and Leck (as the ‘brother’) are trying hard to get into each other’s heads.
