Leaving Dakar, Senegal's lighthouse
The lighthouse
Friends leaving the lighthouse
Stopped by the Institut Français Léopold Sédar Senghor in Dakar to experience some Senegalese hip-hop
This is Bideew Bou Bess--They won Youssou N'Dour's music competition
And started performing in this hoods with their logo on their lower back
The performed in Wolof, Arabic, French, some occasional English, and some languages I didn't recognize
Which caused my friend and me some confusion during this number as the men in animal masks jumped and danced around during a spoken word piece.
We suspect it was a folk tale..but who knows!
Here's one of their songs with some fantastic imagery around Senegal:
Here's another video with a different sound but from a local music channel:
check out Bideew Bou Bess's website!
