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.
