Big ups to you, as I was just about to explain the connection between Senegal, Jamaica, the Yela rhythm, reggae, and the Bogle dance. Yela is from the north of Senegal - Baaba's home of Podor. Amazing to see Senegalese yout doing the Bogle. I think this is one of the best videos that shows the connections within the African Diaspora. I was humbled when I met Baaba Maal this summer in DC."

I did some research and it is Macka B. Thank you for pointing it out, I don’t know much about reggae and dance hall. Also find out that the song its actually named “Hamady Boiro”, Yela I think it is the name of this Senegalese style of music."

"Yeah it's a big tune and really special because Carl Bradshaw is a famous actor from Jamaica movies like " The Harder they come, Third World Cop, Smile Orange & County Man. Baaba Maal is Senegals #2 most famous artist (after youssou n'dour) singing in the traditional Fula/Fulani language. Beautiful combination!"
