Senegal has produced some of Africa's most successful musicians, including Youssou Ndour, Baaba Maal, Ismael Lo and Orchestra Baobab. But what about now? Is the country still generating exceptional musical talent? Presenter Mayeni Jones travels to Dakar to meet artists including Aida Samb, a young woman from a musical dynasty who is breathing new life into the traditional Senegalese Mbalax sound, and Ibaaku, one of the country's few experimental electronic musicians and an influential figure in the hip hop scene. There's also band of four brothers and one sister Takeifa. Maah Keita stands out in several ways - she has albinism, and is a campaigner for albino rights and empowerment, and she also claims to be the only female bass player in Senegal.
