Today we travel to the Country of Senegal, in Africa, to speak with Senegalese music champion, Mamadou Fall. The Senegalese music I have heard is similar to the people I have met from there. It’s fun, lively and complex. CNN once said that Senegal was inextricably linked to a musical sound. This style of music, Mbalax, has sacred origins and contains elements of reggae, hip hop and soul. This episode features music from Youssou N'Dour and Cherifou, from Senegal, and Akon, from the United States.
