THE TWO FACES OF ENTERTAINMENT "Made in Senegal"

Written By Babacar Niang


In the last 5 years, Booba and Akon have imposed themselves as two big forces in the entertainment industry. The French Hip-Hop Prince, and the American R&B King have never stopped claiming their senegalese origins. With over 30 million albums sold combined, these two senegalese artists have put the little West African country on the map, and have followed the step of their other brilliant predecessor, Youssou Ndour.

Both geniuses in their respective musical genre, sharp businessmen, and with a deep sens of belonging to their african roots, they have spoke out on issues that touch the continent . Senegal cultural ambassadors , musical trend-setters, these two should keep on making us dance for years to come !!!
