Senegal's
musical heritage is more well-known than most
African countries, due to the popularity of
mbalax[?], which is a form of
Wolof percussive music; it has been popularized by
Youssou N'Dour[?].
Sabar[?] drumming is especially popular.
A Senegalese immigrant to France, MC Solaar, has become an international hip hop star.
