Born and raised in the slums of Dakar, the capital of Senegal in West Africa, Gokh-Bi System was formed in 1995 by three childhood friends. Considered to be leaders of the emerging African hip-hop movement and one of the most popular African groups in U.S. today, GOKH-BI SYSTEM (pronounced Go-Bee) has created a style of music which fuses together Ancient African traditional rhythms with contemporary Urban America beats in a style which they’ve dubbed, “Ancient Meets Urban”. The result is a sound that appeals to traditional music enthusiasts while at the same time reaches younger audiences seeking a more contemporary sound.
