text: what is the art and music of senegal/ wolof in africa? like the instruments that they used and how they passed it down. well, i've lived in senegal for a few years and the senegalese people are very kind and hospitable. they use drums, mainly, in their music. sometimes, they use an instrument like a banjo(kind of). they play them really fast and they dance to it with a lot of snappy movements. wolof is their traditional language. i only know a few words. they passed their music down from generation to generation. these instruments and type of dance are how they were long before.
