Dr Alban "Hello Afrika" Album Review

Physician & musician!
Here's a hello from Johannesburg, Dr Alban! Dr Alban, a Nigerian resident in Sweden, raps a profound message to his homeland and the rest of Africa using a curious Afro-Swedish mix: a type of music he described as Jungle Reggae Hip Hop. The friendly and uplifting title track was a huge hit while No Coke, the 2nd hit single, takes the reggae rhythm more seriously and is perhaps the best track on the album. But there are more surprises: familiar hooklines, a name check of all the "stars" in the new South Africa and on China Man he adds a bit of "jing yang ching yang hoo" to his already exotic Afro-Western mix. This buoyant sound adds a new dimension to the sound of reggae.
