Africa Pavilion: Dola's Hip Hop Gallery



For our Venice Biennale broadcast project in 2005, in which we sought to create audio pavilions for countries not represented, Yes Yes Y'all radio host and filmmaker Charlie Ahearn invited recording artist Balozi Dola to assemble a compilation of African Hip Hop. Our thanks to both of them.
