>> Bomboro KOSSO // Reggae// www.myspace.com/bomborokosso
Bomboro KOSSO presents a
really African reggae, positive and copper-coloured. Bomboro Kosso asks real questions, is clearly committed. He
denounces injustice, the plagues that destroy Africa.
Bomboro Kosso has his own
music personality, his own energy and proposes something else. A voluntarily
more dancing character, maybe lighter in his form. Mixing African rhythms and
Jamaican roots (and even ska), the result is convincing.
