Kizombafro Dakar Salsa Bachata Semba Meeting

Dakar the capital of Senegal ..... It is a city that can be defined in many ways but certainly NOT boring😉 Dakar is characterized by very strong contrasts: here elegance meets cosmic chaos, gray and dusty streets color markets and the women's clothes, after sunset the clubs are filled with boys and music, while on the roofs the call to pray for the devotees resounds ... The population of Senegal is composed of different ethnic groups. The main one is the WOLOF ethnic group, characterized by very tall men and women and a powerful physical presence. Speaking of beauty: WOLOF women are called GAZELLE .... In addition to being the name of national beer, this term refers to the sinuosity that women have when walking. You can see them swaying through the villages wrapped in their traditional colorful clothes, often with a basket full of water or fruit, moving with grace and elegance.
