C’est sans doute ce que se disent ceux qui se cachent derrière cette tentative de relancer les chaînes de télé et de radio Africa 7 sans l’accord de ses propriétaires légitimes.
Artiste compositeur doté d'un talent exceptionnel, il y a maintenant trois décennies que Pape Cheikh Diouf à l'état civil, mais plus connu sous le diminutif de Pape Diouf, son nom de scène, marque son empreinte sur la scène musicale sénégalaise avec une encre indélébile.
Avec 15 millions de vues en sept mois seulement dans le foisonnant paysage musical sénégalais où règne une rude concurrence chez les chanteurs et où chaque année voit l'éclosion de nouveaux talents et l'ascension de chansons inoubliables en 2023, il est indéniable que le titre mbalakh de l'année est « Superman Love » de Pape Diouf. Cette chanson incarne l'essence même de la musique sénégalaise moderne.
The Senegalese singer and songwriter transformed the west African music scene by mixing ancient influences with the very modern and then took his music to the world. Now 63, N’Dour remains a thrilling performer.

Watch out for this young bassist. He's just breaking onto the scene with his first solo CD featuring such luminaries as Russell Ferrante and Eric Marienthall, and fitting in like a glove with these jazz icons. Known as a "Richard Bona protégé", (quite a statement to uphold) he shows on this first effort to have tremendous potential in quite a few directions. Being an accomplished composer as well as a player, he represents yet another generation of young lions to be reckoned with. With a surprisingly defined maturity to his playing, coupled with his great sense of melody, Cheikh will become a familiar voice on the scene sooner than later.
DAKAR, Senegal - The seaside highway, one of the Senegalese president's bold building initiatives, winds past the scruffy shop where a 62-year-old tailor and his two sons eke out a living sewing scraps of cloth into curtains. It's a beautiful highway — no doubt about it, says Barry Mamadou. "But I can't eat the road," he says, explaining why, having twice voted for President Abdoulaye Wade, he is now siding with one of 14 opposition candidates in Sunday's presidential election. The 80-year-old president's projects range from the new sea-hugging highway to a second airport and a pan-African university.
03 February 2007- Fourteen men who were trying to journey by a British-registered catamaran from Senegal in west Africa to New York, where they dreamed of finding jobs and new lives, have been rescued from an Atlantic storm after drifting for days with broken sails and a stalled engine. US Coast Guard officials said the men set out on their voyage on the 50ft yacht, called L'Onde Marine (Ocean Wave) on 12 December. They had been drifting without power or sails for days when the boat was spotted last Sunday by a merchant container ship listing badly in 30ft waves.
DAKAR, 6 September (IRIN) - A record number of illegal migrants reached the shores of the Spanish Canary Islands last weekend. Authorities reported that between Saturday and Sunday, 1,400 migrants, mainly from West Africa, arrived in eight canoe-style fishing boats that they believe left from Mauritania. The longer and riskier maritime route to the Canaries became increasingly popular this year after the shorter route through Morocco was cut off by increased patrols. Another route from North Africa into Sicily was stymied by Italian navy patrols. The journey from Senegal to the Canaries is approximately 1,500 km and can take anywhere from five to 20 days. Upon arrival, dehydrated and exhausted, those who have made the crossing face the possibility of repatriation to their respective countries.
A team of UK dragon-hunters are on an expedition in The Gambia to track down a mysterious creature known locally as the "Ninki-nanka". Believed to live in swamps, the ninki-nanka appears in the folklore of many parts of West Africa. It is described as having a horse-like face, a long body with mirror-like scales and a crest of skin on its head. Team leader Richard Freeman told the BBC, evidence so far was sketchy as most people died soon after seeing it. Mr Freeman, a cryptozoologist from the UK-based Centre for Fortean Zoology, admitted that the ninki-nanka's existence was "very far-fetched indeed".
MBOUR, 31 May 2006 (IRIN) - In this busy fishing port south of the Senegalese capital, the talk is all about the lack of fish and cash and the fortunes waiting to be made in the murky waters of illegal migration. Mbour, a bustling smelly town 80 kilometres south of Dakar, lies a bare 1,500 kilometres – just a few days’ boat-ride away - from Spain’s Canary Islands, believed to be the Atlantic ocean gateway to a life of plenty in Europe, for those who make it across the seas.The long wooden boats painted in bright blues and yellows and reds that ferry growing numbers of would-be migrants from Senegal’s beaches to the high seas, are called “Mbeukk-mi”, or wave-crashers in Woloff, and are crafted here and elsewhere along the Senegalese shoreline.
Dakar, SENEGAL - Senegal, Africa's westernmost country, has become a major new departure point for thousands of mainly young West Africans seeking a better life in Europe, an official of the International Organization for Migration said Friday. The migrants are leaving from various points along Senegal's coast, crowded into wooden fishing boats in groups of up to 60, for a perilous sea journey to Spain's Canary Islands, about 1,350 kilometers, or 840 miles, to the north, said Vijaya Souri, program officer in the organization's office here.
