Didier Awadi is without a doubt the most prominent figure on the Francophone African rap scene. Winner of the RFI Music Prize in October 2003 and Best African Rap Artist in the TAMANI awards (Music awards in Mali) in December 2004; he can cast his eye back at a faultless career as a pioneer of a music genre which has become, over the last few years, the main genre of music for African youths and the world at large. Didier Awadi was born in Dakar in 1969 into a family of schoolteachers, son of a Beninese father and a Senegalese mother. In 1989 he formed the group Positive Black Soul with Doug E Tee and they produced several albums of impeccable artistic quality, which appeared in Europe and the United States. In 2002 he released his first solo album “Kaddu Gor” (“Word of Honour”), followed by “Un autre monde est possible” (“Another world is possible”) released in 2005. He is both an artist and an entrepreneur (He is an artistic producer, radio and television presenter, runs a studio, record label as well as various musical organisations). He puts his musical talent and technological knowledge to the service of a music that is always conscientious, a music with roots and messages, through which he addresses the world, because he has things to say. His latest album “Présidents de l’Afrique” (Presidents of Africa) was released to great acclaim in 2007. |
