Music and Visual Magic from Congo: Baloji

Oroma Elewa, the editor of Pop Africana (a fabulous style-focused site), recently posted about Congolese artist Baloji - his sound is a breath of fresh air for the contemporary African hip-hop scene. Check out the video for "Karibu ya bintou":


I personally love the documentary-style filming and the infectiously unique drum-line of the track (and, of course, his impeccable style and fly hair). Post up your thoughts on this song, and any other upcoming artists we should be paying attention to.
