Check out this video! Although it is in French, you can understand enough by watching. It's about Dakarnoise culture, even though the group (Amadou & Mariam) are from Mali. I can practically taste the toasted peanuts and chawarmas again...
Note- the "Cinema Paris" is the only real movie theatre in the entire country, and it only has 2 screens! I almost went there, but decided I was not sufficident enough in French to sit through 3 hours of "Harry Potter et la Coupe de Fou".

Gotta love the hair on those Tauregs. And previously I only credited them with giving us silver jewelry and blue skin.
