Live music in Dakar clubs is probably the best nights out you can have anywhere. Absolutely awesome! (they start late and last until morning, so no good if you have work the next day...)

Thanks for this!

TRUE DAT!

in african clubs, you will dance until you drop, and i mean it! all night long, and the rythms so nice

i also want to add that these musicians are VERY good and have no formal training, what i mean is that they play straight from the heart without reading notes

often many musicians are from the GRIOT caste, which means if your father was a musician, you will also be most problably.. although today society have changed a bit and everyone can play , of course..

i have been living in senegal, and everywhere you will hear music and see dancing, its as natural as cooking food or washing clothes , and many times you will do both at the same time

the small children will maybe play some football, but as well play some drums, its just antoher kind of "game", where everyone participates..

i know, as i was playing djembe, and a 5-year old picked it up and played the **** out of me , LOL

so, in africa , you don't think so much about music, you JUST DO IT

dont sit and discuss "whats the best drum?" like here is "whats the best synth?", you JUST DO IT

abaraka baake (means 'thank you very much' in mandinka)

I was just pissed that I couldn't find the original Rocket from the Tombs or Pere Ubu version, so I had to settle for that one.

I can kind of see what you mean, but I still really like trent Reznor's voice (one of the only male vocalists I like, actually). There is an aesthetic honesty in his singing that just works for me, even though his voice isnt exactly pleasent.
