Brakka (Sahelian rap)
The brakka is a term used to refer to Sahelian rap, notably Burkinabè, Malian, and Nigerian rap. Stemming from local African hip-hop movements, brakka blends French/Wolof rap with traditional Malian and Burkinabè rhythms.
Malian artists like Zounguidi, rappers from Ouagadougou, and Sahelian collectives keep this current alive.
