Hip Hop may have been born in America, but it is growing up in Africa. Fangafrika is a stylized look at the festival in Ouaga, in Burkina Faso, where Africa's best and brightest rappers gather using hip hop to tackle the serious issues facing Africans everywhere. The film is a who's who in African hip hop, from veterans like Pee Froiss, Daara J and PBS to up and coming hot acts. All are creating a dynamic new African identity for the mutable genre called hip hop.
