Le groupe musical sénégalais “Sarro & Get Sa Feeling”, un des dix finalistes de l’édition 2017 du Prix découvertes RFI, milite pour “un réveil de l’Afrique” à travers notamment une dénonciation des tares de la société, une perspective nourrie par un style afro-acoustique teinté d’airs de blues, de jazz et de reggae.
Dans ses chansons en français, anglais ou wolof, “Sarro & Get Sa Feeling” aborde très souvent des thématiques lui permettant de dénoncer les tares de la société, une manière d’appeler à “un réveil” de l’Afrique.
Le groupe dirigé par le jeune guitariste Oumar Sarr dit Sarro, compte en son sein un trompettiste, un guitariste, un batteur et une choriste. Il s’est déjà produit à deux reprises au Festival international de jazz de Saint-Louis, en 2013 et en 2016. “Sarro & Get Sa Feeling” a déjà à son actif un album intitulé “Tomorow” (avril 2015), une œuvre présentée comme “un hymne à l’espoir et à la vie”, avec des morceaux tels que “Babylone”, “Domou Adama” et “Africa Live”, etc.
Sarr ne se limite pas seulement à chanter avec sa voix qu’il manie avec aise, il a appris la musique en suivant des formations en solfège, clavier et guitare. Il enseigne d’ailleurs à l’école “Voice music de Dakar”.
L’orchestre “Sarro & Get Sa Feeling” se produit dans les cabarets à Dakar et collabore aussi avec des danseurs ou chorégraphes pour des compositions.
Le Prix “découvertes RFI” de la Radio France internationale a déjà été attribué à des artistes sénégalais comme Maréma Fall (2014). Les rappeurs Naby (2009) et Didier Awadi (2003) ont été également primés dans le même cadre.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I am not sure where you’re getting your info, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for magnificent information I was looking for this info for my mission.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
This site looks better and better every time I visit it. What have you done with this place to make it so amazing?!
I really can’t believe how great this site is. Keep up the good work. I’m going to tell all my friends about this place.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Awsome post and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you people have any thoughts on where to employ some professional writers? Thx 🙂
I’ve been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this website. Thanks , I will try and check back more often. How frequently you update your site?
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I will immediately grab your rss as I can not to find your e-mail subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Kindly let me understand in order that I may subscribe. Thanks.

Generally I don’t learn article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to check out and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, very great post.
As a Newbie, I am always browsing online for articles that can be of assistance to me. Thank you
You sure did a lot of research for this wonderfully written article.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
