Information:
 The
Ndaga (Ndagga) music style also known as Mbalax was
created in Dakar in the 1970s and its early proponents
were Etoile de Dakar from which the likes of Youssou
N'dour broke off and went solo.
It evolved from the Senegalese liking for Latin music
combined with the Congo rumba beat which musicians from
the Wolof tribe took and
blended with the 'Tama' (talking drum), Sabarr (Djembe
Drum) and electric guitar and lyrics to create the Ndagga
musical style.
 The
dancing that accompanies the musical genre is uniquely
African and incorporates gyrating dance
with sensual overtones.
In Gambia the new genre was played and promoted by the
"Super Eagles" band who were big in the 1970s
and early 80s. |
