Description

Carlou D is an outspoken singer, songwriter and an exceptional guitarist who emerged out of Senegal's exciting hip-hop scene of the 90s. As a young adult Carlou joined Senegal's first, and arguably most successful, hip-hop group, Positive Black Soul. In 2004, after having performed with the band worldwide, he left to start his solo career. Instantly recognizable in his traditional Muslim robes with his dreadlocks signaling asceticism, he wears the image of Cheikh Ibra Fall around his neck as a tribute to his spiritual guide. It is from the leader of this spiritual sect, the Baay Fall, that Carlou takes much of his musical inspiration, preserving and modernizing the chants, melodies and rhythms used in celebration of this man who has millions of followers around the world. With a pure voice and infectious sense of rhythm, and backed by a scintillating band, Carlou D's international debut album Muzikr is destined to make him one of Senegal's next great musical exports. This is electric, spiritual roots music, straight from Dakar's ripe music scene. The album features Carlou's mentor Youssou N'Dour as special guest singer on the track 'Goree.'
