Watch 10 new Journal Rappé episodes for Munich Biennale 2020

The show, presented by Senegalese rappers Keyti and Xuman, employs a unique format by relaying unadulterated social, economic and political analysis through the hip hop idiom.

Journal Rappé began in 2013 and has since then amassed a dedicated viewership in Africa and the diaspora. It is known for covering relevant topics that are often neglected by traditional media, and focuses on politics, identity, development and the various issues affecting young people on the continent.

"Given the current global pandemic, we have a special episode on public health in Africa where we take the opportunity to talk about the effects of COVID-19 on the African health system," Xuman says. "We also talk about African identity, independence, African pride and its culture, as well as Afrotopia."
