DAARA J Boomerang Who knew that Senegalese hip-hop was so fly? Straight outta Dakar, Daara J's Boomerang established a new high point for Motherland rap, while supplying what's missing from its American counterpart. Blazing-hot tracks like "Esperanza" and "Bopp Sa Bopp" suggest there's a positive side to global warming, and the band's sound -- equally influenced by American hip-hop, Jamaican reggae, and West African mbalax and tasso -- is both esoteric and accessible, without being predictable in the least.
