Akon, whose real name Aliaune Thiam, was born in 1979 in Senegal. His parents are leaving this country to settle in the United States where the boy discovers a new musical culture and especially the hip-hop. It owes to its father (Mor Thiam), percussionist, love of music and this passion never leaves, especially in the worst moments he spends in prison for petty theft. Here, Akon honed his texts and clings with courage and conviction to the music. He is right because it was released, after a tour of some of the recording with a dummy he is committed to release an album that will come in 2004. “Trouble” is a pleasant mix of hip-hop and soul, a style that is very special and tubes “Locked Up” and “Lonely” will sell millions of copies to the States and Europe. His second album, “Konvicted,” released in late 2006, in line with the previous tube between the other “Smack That” with Eminem recorded. See and buy the cd to Akon?
