(It has, and of course, Nicole Kidman is involved.) Jal was one of the Lost Boys, a Sudanese child soldier who became embroiled in Sudan's civil war and was wielding a gun by the time he was eight years old. (Some accounts say he was with the rebel group at age six.) A British aid worker, Emma McCune, intervened in his life when he sought refuge in a town where she was working. She adopted him but was killed in a car crash in Nairobi not much later. McCune's friends put Jal through school, and while there he developed a love for music -- hip-hop in particular. His first album, <i>Ceasefire</i>, was the product of a rare collaboration between a southern Sudanese (Jal) and northern Sudan recording star Abdel Gadir Salem. It took over Kenya's pop charts and has brought Jal international fame. - Sarah BardeenAfricaen720Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:57:30 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7281249&rws=%2Femmanuel-jal%2Fdiscography.rss If Emmanuel Jal's story hasn't been optioned for a film script yet, we'll eat our hats.
