Senegal's sabar-driven popular music
Mbalax on Senegali populaarne muusika, mis on ehitatud Wolof'i sabar trummimängule ja lauldakse suures osas Wolofis. See ühines selle löökpööre traditsiooniga Kuuba, jazzi ja hinge mõjutustega, et saada riigi moodseks heliks.

Origin & history
Senegalese bands of the 1970s had been playing Cuban repertoire; mbalax came from turning back toward sabar drumming and Wolof language and song.
It became Senegal's dominant popular music and, through its best-known performers, one of the most widely heard West African sounds internationally.
