DEAR WHITE BROTHER

When I was born, I was black.
When I grow up, I was black.
When I am in the sun, I am black.
When I am sick, I am black.
When I die, I will be black.
Instead you, white man,
when you were born, you were pink,
when you grow up, you were white,
when you are in the sun, you are red,
when you are cold, you are blue,
when you fear, you are green,
when you are sick, you are grey.

So, of us, who is the person of color?

Léopold Sédar Senghor

Books Sen Kumpe is a Hip Hop Galsen rapper from Senegal. Galsen means Seenegal at the contrary.

In contrast to American Hip Hop, which grew from the youth in the inner city ghettos, Hip Hop in Dakar began among a somehow middle-class youth who was able to access and/or introduce in their home place new ideas and new cultural expressions coming from abroad.

Ahmadou Bamba was a Sufi religious leader in Senegal and the founder of the large Mouride Brotherhood (the Muridiyya). Bamba's followers call him a mujaddid ("renewer of Islam").

He founded the Mouride Brotherhood in 1883.
His teachings emphasized the virtues of pacifism, hard work and good manners. As an ascetic "marabout" he wrote tracts on meditation, rituals, work, and Quranic study, but he is perhaps best known for his emphasis on work and industriousness.

In the political sphere, Ahmadou Bamba led a pacifist struggle against French colonialism while trying to restore a purer practice of Islam insulated from French colonial influence.

Fearing his influence, the French sentenced him to exile in Gabon (1895–1902) and later in Mauritania (1903–1907). However, these exiles fired stories and folk tales of Bamba's miraculous survival of torture, deprivation, and attempted executions.

The flag of Senegal is a tricolour consisting of three vertical green, yellow and red bands with a five-pointed green star at the centre. It was inspired by French Tricolour, which flew over Senegal until 1960.

Green represents Islam, the majority religion for 94% of the population, together with hope and fecundity for Christians and Animists, the religious minorities of the country.
Yellow is the colour of arts, literature, and intellect.

Red represents the colour of life and the national sacrifice

French is the official language, used regularly by a minority of Senegalese educated but the lingua franca is Wolof. Koranic schools are even more popular, but Arabic is not widely spoken outside of this context of recitation.

Most people also speak their own ethnic language. Pulaar is spoken by the Fulas and Toucouleur. The Serer language is widely spoken by both Serers and non-Serers ; so are the Cangin languages, whose speakers are ethnically Serers. Jola languages are widely spoken in the Casamance.

Several of the Senegalese languages have the legal status of "national languages": Balanta-Ganja, Hassaniyya, Jola-Fonyi,Mandinka, Mandjak, Mankanya, Noon (Serer-Noon), Pulaar, Serer, Soninke, and Wolof.

Portuguese Creole, locally known as Portuguese, is a prominent minority language in Ziguinchor, regional capital of theCasamance, spoken by local Portuguese creoles and immigrants from Guinea-Bissau. The local Cape Verdean community speak a similar Portuguese creole, Cape Verdean Creole, and standard Portuguese.
