Sahad, Taxi-Brousse in Song

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Africa / Afro Fusion

Additional Information

Sahad means harvest in Serer and resurrection in Wolof. Sahad describes himself as a “taxi-brousse”, scouring the planet in search of the jewels created by our cultural and societal differences. Afro-pop, jazz, blues, folk, funk and more, these African and Afro-descendant influences generate kaleidoscopic music and songs. Sandra Gasana met Sahad for PAN M 360.
