Description Music in Dakar
Nightlife in Dakar is not known for its modesty. Hip-hop levels of bling are de rigueur in many places, as are gaggles of tightly-clad girls all skittering on skyscraper heels, but it has to be experienced. Nights are soundtracked to the pounding rhythms of mbalax, Senegal’s ubiquitous dance-Latin-funk-reggae hybrid, which bursts from every stall, taxi and window, lending the city a rhythm of its own.
