Canabasse, born Basirou Diagne, is a prominent Senegalese rapper and hip-hop artist known for his compelling lyrics and strong presence in the West African music scene. With his unique blend of traditional Senegalese sounds and contemporary hip-hop beats, Canabasse has managed to carve out a significant niche in the industry. This Dakar-born artist's journey began to gain momentum in the mid-2000s, and since then, he has risen to become one of the voices of his generation, addressing social issues, politics, and personal experiences through his music.

His discography reflects a persistent dedication to both his craft and his message. In tracks like "Mbëgel doyoul", which was featured in the "Hair lover S1" soundtrack, and "Mbëgeel", Canabasse showcases his ability to create music that resonates with a broad audience, often intertwining indigenous rhythms with urban sounds. Songs such as "Fatwa" and "Bou Bakh Bi" highlight his social commentary, while "Confessions 4" can be seen as a more introspective piece. The repeated mention of "Kharouma Goor" in his recent releases suggests a thematic or conceptual connection, displaying Canabasse's depth as an artist. His work, including tracks like "Sathiey" and "Gadaay", continues to captivate listeners and amplify the vibrancy and diversity of Senegalese music on the global stage.
