Carcassonne - Faada Freddy

Faada Freddy, born in Saint-Louis (Senegal) has a strong musical background as a member of "Daara J", a Senegalese rap duo, sucessful in Africa and Europe.

Since the album "Gospel Journey" (2015) he collaborates with a group of fantastic vocalists - and no instruments at all. They form the most excisting "a capella" group I ever heard, as they mix soul, blues, jazz, rap, hip hop using their voices as well as elements of beatboxing, let aside stomping and clapping.

I had seen a performance in the Maladrerie in Beauvais in spring and was thrilled to be in Carcassonne, when he performed on the "Place Carnot".

Here is a video taken that night:
