Ivorian reggae star Kanujon X says "Don't betray our ancestors"

Forget Malcom X, here comes Kanujon X. This is the defiant new reggae star rising from the politically battered land of Coffee,Cocoa and the eclectic sound of Coupe Decale - the Ivory Coast. Following in the footsteps of the likes of legendary Alpha Blondy and Tikenjah Kanujon X  is on a
herculean mission to re-write the history of Africa by restoring old cultural values and reclaiming lost traditional political power. Rather than dread locks Kanujon X cuts the clean profile of your average class room lecturer sporting heavy horned specs to complete the deceptive look but do not be taken in by this harmless facade because this intellectual is a potent lyrical warrior. Already causing a storm in Cote d"Ivoire with a twelve-track album, we unwrap for the rest of the world this unlikely revolutionary star in his latest single video titled "In Memory Of Our Ancestors"Of course its in French so get an interpreter, a French speaking boyfriend/girlfriend. to translate the hard-hitting lyrics or simply skank to the beat and visualise the message of this powerful messenger... Please scroll to Video Dump at the bottom of page for the slide.The video for another extract of the album can be played by clicking on Kanujon's thumbnail picture on the left panel. Enjoy...
