Senegal, the country of "TERANGA" (hospitality)

# data[].attributes.body
In wolof "teranga" means "hospitality and reciprocity". We call teranga what we offer to the guest and what he will give back as a sign of reciprocity. The first thing to offer to the guest is a comfortable place to sleep, the second one is something to drink to restore and the third one is the exchange of words with him.

This is the House of Slaves, it is in the Gorée Island in front of Dakar. In this house our ancestors were enclosed before being brought to America. This is one of the most touristic places in Senegal and President Obama with his family also visited it some years ago.

My favourite song: "SEVEN SECONDS" by Youssou N'dour and Nene Cherry

# data[].attributes.body
I like this song because it talks about solidarity and social relationships.
The song is a dialogue between Youssou N'dour who speaks in wolof and Nene Cherry who speaks in English.

SEVEN SECONDS

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness,
we should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms.
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle is not over
Even when it's won
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting.

The flag: THE SENEGALESE TRICOLOUR ("Vert Jaune Rouge")

# data[].attributes.body
The flag of Senegal is a tricolour consisting of three vertical green, yellow and red bands charged with a five-pointed green star at the centre.  The green and the star represent the colour of the Prophet.  Christians see the presence of green as a portent of hope, and Animists view green as representative of fecundity.  Yellow is the symbol of wealth, of arts, literature, and intellect.  Red recalls the colour of blood,  of life and the sacrifice accepted by the nation, and also of the strong determination to fight against underdevelopment.

Dakar is the capital and largest city of Senegal. It is located on the Cap-Vert Peninsula on the Atlantic coast and is the westernmost city in the Old World and on the African mainland. Its position, on the western edge of Africa, is an advantageous departure point for trans-Atlantic and European trade; this fact aided its growth into a major regional port. The city of Dakar proper has a population of 1,030,594, whereas the population of the Dakar metropolitan area is estimated at 2.45 million people.
