A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Troublemaker: Master Dji and "Tet Chaje"
Some Haitian rap is on tap today with our random song, called Tet Chaje. The song is performed by the late Master Dji, who died in 1994 at the age of 32 from complications of AIDS. His debut album, Master Dji, is known as one of the greatest Creole hip hop albums of all time, and his style of hip hop drew from Haitian music such as rara, rasin, kompa and reggae. A musical pioneer in Haiti, he helped build the popularity of rap and hip hop in that country. Tet Chaje can be found on the 2009 various artists compilation Haiti Rap & Ragga.
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
