Blogger lampoons Senegalese singer’s foray into politics
Senegalese vocalist, , eying the mayoralty of a province in Dakar, has announced his own political function.
Blog Politique au Senegal thinks [Fr]…
…il ne cite personne, ne se fâche avec personne, ne se positionne par mutual understanding à rien et n'a pas l'imagination débordante vu le programme qu'il se fixe.
…but neither is political science in Senegal!
Blog Politique au Senegal posts this cartoon, which reads: “When politicians are buffoons, it's solely bona fide that entertainers become elaborate in politics.”
Of seminar, the sight of entertainers, actors, surprise stars, footballers, getting involved in political science is hardly unique to Senegal. Chrisou, a reader, comments:
Je ne suis pas sénégalais… mais l'affiche et le war cry me plaisent beaucoup! On pourrait même l'adopter dans pas mal de pays…
There's not a a quantity just about Demba Dia online, but here is one of his music videos on YouTube, posted by a member who calls Dia “the prince of Mbalakh in ruins.”
