Na ngeen def! (That's how are you? in Wolof). We travelled 5,730km to the city of Dakar, Senegal to bring you a very special episode, jam-packed with West African musical and football-based treats. We visit Mbalax star Thione Seck’s studio and chat with Oumar Sow who played in Youssou NDour's Les Étoile de Dakar. We also discuss the impact of Orchestra Baobab, Baaba Maal and Ismaël Lô and also witness Cheikh Lô live. That's on top of James reporting from the labarythine like streets of Ngor village, where the mourides singers croon late into the night and finding out what it's like to be a Senegalese footballer who’s played across African with Babacar Mbengue. Do not miss.
