4/04 Senegal
On this episode of World in America, a quick trip through the Senegalese-American experience awaits us all. They may seem like brand new immigrants, but we'll see how these self-made people actually have profound historical roots in America. First, we'll see how the 116th Street in Harlem, NY turned into Little Senegal and meet the Diakhate family. Later, we'll hear the soulful drum beats of Senegalese Sabar Music from the top-notch Sing Sing Rhythm and Cheikh Tairou M'Baye, and taste coastal cuisine cooked to perfection at Le Grand Dakar in Brooklyn, NY.
