I love how K'naan's licks begin with topics I find trite, or shallow, or superficial. And then he lifts you from this surface with the lightness you feel in the pit of your stomach as you are carried over the coaster peak; He plunges you down the steep, slippery and fast slope into serious, whole-bodied, heart-wrenching truths of global reality. Before your brain can recover, you find yourself gripped, as in a trance, in his visual stenography... This is the genius of K'naan's rhymes. Add to that a catchy melody & beat, and there you find my current musical obsession. K'naan's TROUBADOUR has matured from the Dusty Foot Philosopher. Check him out!
Note: There are five songs but you have to keep clicking the forward arrow on the video...
