Malian Rapper Amkoullel to join Brown's Mande class on March 12th

Amkoullel is a popular rapper and spoken word artist who has received a stream of media attention from the New York Times and NPR over the last month as his fight against censorship by Mali’s new government has become a global symbol of the country’s ongoing political crisis. Amkoullel began receiving death threats from the government upon releasing his hit single, “S.O.S.” This efficacious call to action begs the international community to respond to the Malian crisis before it is too late and pleads with the youth of Mali to wake up from the complacency that the artist sees as one of the country’s root problems. 

We are overjoyed that Amkoullel will join Brown's Mande dance class as a guest artist this March. Listen to Amkoullel's music here.
