picture info	Senegalese Music Senegal's music is best known abroad due to the popularity of mbalax, a development of conservative music from different ethnic groups and ''sabar'' drumming popularized internationally by Youssou N'Dour. Senegalese Musical Instruments List * Bomvola * Ilulam * Tuga Carat * ooga * Gahtim * Kghvawasi * Ghata * Sirom * Xylophone (Around Senegal Brazil China Sudan Ecuador) * Zazoli bolbia National music During the colonial ages Senegal was colonized by France and many, though not all, Senegalese identified as French instead of any African ethnicity. Post-independence, the philosophy of negritude arose, which espoused the idea that the ''griot'' traditions of Senegal were as valid, classical and meaningful as French classical music. The first President of Senegal, Léopold Sédar Senghor (also a poet) was one of the primary exponents of this. The national anthem of Senegal, ''"Pincez tous vos koras, frappez les balafons"'' ("Pluck all your koras, strike the balafons"), was adop ...

picture info	Reggae Reggae () is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term also denotes the modern popular music of Jamaica and its diaspora. A 1968 single by Toots and the Maytals, " Do the Reggay" was the first popular song to use the word "reggae", effectively naming the genre and introducing it to a global audience. While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular Jamaican dance music, the term ''reggae'' more properly denotes a particular music style that was strongly influenced by traditional mento as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues, and evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady. Reggae usually relates news, social gossip, and political commentary. It is instantly recognizable from the counterpoint between the bass and drum downbeat and the offbeat rhythm section. The immediate origins of reggae were in ska and rocksteady; from the latter, reggae took over the use of the bass as a percussion instrument. Reggae is d ...
