Gokh-Bi ("The Neighborhood") adds hip-hop to a Senegalese continuum. Their lively music sets positive-thinking raps (in English as well as Senegalese languages) to handmade music: percussion, singing and riffs plucked on the ekonting, a Senegalese lute.  "Hip-hop takes a joyful, respectful place alongside traditionalism." -- Jon Pareles, NY Times
