It’s the disappearance of a legend of Senegalese music: singer and lyricist Thione Seck, 66 years old. He started his career at the age of 17 with the Dakar Star Band and continued with the mythical orchestra Baobab, the Senegalese cult group in the 1970s. Thione Seck was one of the singers in the famous “mbalax” style. Many artists and big names in the music scene mourn a brother like his countryman singer Wasis Diop, who remembers a man deeply attached to his country. .
