Anti-coronavirus song on the radio, Senegal

Oct 06, 2022, 11:11 AM

I was on a trip with some friends in Senegal just few days before the lockdown in Europe and on my way to the Dakar Airport I recorded this song directly from the radio of our driver. The piece is in Wolof and is about Coronavirus, the singer is "praying" that the virus will not reach his community and will go away soon.

Recorded by Luca Piparo.
