About
From the release of his 1991 debut album, 'Qui sème le vent récolte la tempête', his singular poetic style, both tranquil and positive, was immediately evident. A great lover of literature, he plays with words and installs himself in a lineage of songwriters like Serge Gainsbourg. On 'Hijo de Africa', MC Solaar depicts the different faces of Africa with a very specific goal in mind: smashing cliches.
