Tiken Jah Fakoly’s reggae can now be read. Frédérique Briard, a journalist at the weekly Marianne, is the author of "L'Afrique ne pleure plus, elle parle", a 150-page book that recounts and sheds light on the Ivorian griot’s career through his albums, anecdotes and photographs. A superb cover, and already the finest title of the year.

"L'Afrique ne pleure plus, elle parle" will be available on 3 April 2008, from Les Arènes.
20 euros.
