Manage episode 399172126 series 2291608
On May 3rd 2023, UCLA hosted a conversation between Xuman (aka Gunman Xuman) and Samuel Lamontagne. Xuman is a social activist and legend of Senegalese Hip Hop, who’s been active for over thirty years. He’s a member of the pioneer group Pee Froiss, and besides his solo career, also created the Journal Rappé for which he’s internationally known.
The conversation happened in Royce Hall and covered Xuman’s roots and upbringing, the history of Hip Hop in Senegal, and how Hip Hop is an important medium to build solidarity across the African Diaspora.
*After Xuman returned to Dakar, Senegal, protests broke out as Ousmane Sonko, the main opponent to the current Senegalese president, was imprisoned. Senegalese people are protesting so that Macky Sall doesn’t run for a third unconstitutional term. The protests were violently quashed by the police, and multiple restrictions have been placed on social media by the government. #FreeSenegal
