Pene, Omar
Climat
Omar Pene is one of the standard bearers of Senegalese music. The West African country is known for the traditional mbalax and the role their music has played in the development of what we know in the west as 'Latin' music. In addition to Omar Pene, artists such as Youssou N'Dour, Ismael Lo, Baaba Maal, Cheikh Lo and Thione Seck, who unfortunately died far too early in March this year, belong to the Senegalese top division of world music.
