Natty Jean

Anne-Laure Lemancel

By Alison Hird

As a documentary film on the life of reggae star Bob Marley hits the screens this week, World Music Matters hears from an upcoming talent in the younger generation of reggae artists: Natty Jean. Born and bred in downtown Dakar, Senegal, Natty Jean's sound draws on both reggae and hip hop influences. His first album "Santa Yalla" sends out a message of peace and hope for the whole of the African continent.
