K’naan’s ABCs

Somali-born artist K’naan fuses international hip hop with Ethio-Jazz to make transcontinental musical magic. If you like this video of K’naan — which you will — also check out Sudanese-born Emmanuel Jal. His “Gua,” rapped in Arabic, Nuer, Dinka and English, is a powerful plea from peace from former “War Child.” (If you’re hungry for more, eat the Jal way.)
