#1 must be El Général
1.Well , what can i say? This 21 years old -middle class- Tunisian man had a major role in the uprising even before it started ! His stunning rap is called Rais Lebled " the president of the country" was recorded & released on youtube before any sign of street revolution in Tunisia.
On Dec. 24 at 5 a.m. the secret police burst into his parents' home in Sfax and hauled El Général to the National Security Bureau after that he was put in a solitary cell in the Presidential Security Service.
four days later he was released , and only by that time he did realize "Rais Lebled" had become the anthem on the streets!
one of my favorites lines from the song is :
one of my favorites lines from the song is :
