FSN met Senegalese MC Paul Pissety Sagna (aka PPS) in the first OneBeat program in 2012. During the program PPS was deeply inspired by his experience visiting Words, Beats & Life (WBL), a OneBeat tour partner based in Washington DC that is dedicated to transforming individual lives and communities through hip hop. Shortly after meeting Words, Beats & Life, PPS developed his idea for Sunu Kaddu, a Rufisque-based recording studio and youth center dedicated to education and community-building through hip hop.

PPS describes Sunu Kaddu as an "arts paradise for the community, dedicated to creation and education." In spring 2013, the FSN team joined PPS in Rufisque for the very first Sunu Kaddu workshop, dubbed Found Sound Senegal. Today, Sunu Kaddu is a respected recording destination for musicians in Senegal, and a hub for youth arts programming in Rufisque. The first album to come out of the studio, produced by PPS and original Sunu Kaddu workshop participant Father Babs, was awarded Best Album of the Year in Senegal in 2015. 

"My OneBeat experience inspired me to make something consistent here in Rufisque -- a youth center. To use music for education. To use hip hop -- like graffiti and dancing -- for education,” says PPS. “When we say Sunu Kaddu, it’s a family first. The most important thing, before making music, before improving our music production skills, is to bring everyone together. To build community."
