PUPPA LËK SÈN
PRESS KIT // DOSSIER de PRESSE
"Highly acclaimed by the critics of World and Reggae Music..."
« Lëk Sèn becomes a real revelation each time he releases a new album. Numerous media, including Canal +, RFI, France Culture, and so many other famous ones, have talked about and broadcast him. Some of his music pieces can be found in the soundtrack of "Safe House" with Danzel Washington or in an add with Usain Bolt. And watch out, his album Tomorrow ranked 2nd best African reggae album during the Victories of Reggae 2014. In a nutshell everybody understood they have found the real treasure.
His 4th album has already drawn attention, it is entitled Jaam Dong, which means Only Peace; this is meaningul to this artist. He is indeed very committed to his country of origin, Senegal. Here is the proof: 100% of the benefits from his 3rd album Hope Inna Afreeka are dedicated to the construction of a music school in his native village Ngor. As you can see, words plus human being equal one.
Many artists such as Harisson Stafford from Groundation or Clinton Fearon participated to his previous albums.
He is definitely the new rising star from Africa… » By la Grosse Radio

(ROMANIA) ZONA REGGAE :
« Jaam Dong » is certainly one of the best reggae albums of 2014. We affirm this because the sound is fresh and unique, and the songs are different from each other… LEK SEN's voice is "strong and cruel", but captures your attention and touch your soul.
