Product Details
Weight: 0.25 kg

Wala Wala Bok? is an oral history of the historic album by Galsen hip hop pioneers Pee Froiss, as told to writer Samuel Lamontagne.

This project is one of the earliest hip-hop albums produced in Senegal. It is also among the first rap albums to rely almost exclusively on Wolof, Senegal’s most spoken language, to describe the realities of Dakar.

The book also features archival materials from this period, including stills from music videos, a transcription of Jean-Jacques Lion’s seminal documentary Hip Hop Sénégal, as well as a bibliography and discography of Galsen hip hop up to the year 2000.
