“The intersection of hip-hop and activism gets a lot of lip service in the U.S., but the reality is that popular rap music is still mostly about the bling, not the political ring. That’;s not the case in Senegal, where political hip-hop thrives.”
-Christopher Porter, The Washington Express
“The ‘Democracy in Dakar’ documentary follows the 2007 election and gives a down to earth perspective on the public opinion on the current leadership alongside interviews and performances from Senegalese rappers, giving their honest, undiluted stand point on the state of the country. The documentary alone is an intriguing insight into the sociopolitical structure of Senegal….If you are looking to get a deeper outlook on what’s happening in Senegal both musically and politically or if you just want to listen to some fresh African hip-hop, then you must take a look at this highly motivated, politically conscious project.”
-Luke Branston, BBC NEWS
“The documentary project, ‘Democracy in Dakar; highlights the impact hip hop artists have had on the democratic process in Senegal, shedding light on the politics of one of francophone Africa’s more stable democracies and showing the contradictions that lie just below the surface.”
-Msia Kibona Clark, AllAfrica.com
