Dakar Musique

https://dakarmusique.com
Dakar Musique is a Dakar-based online music news outlet and digital cultural radio serving Senegal and the African diaspora. It reports on Senegalese and African music—new releases, artist profiles, concert coverage, and industry developments—and publishes commentary and interviews. Its streaming radio runs thematic programming every Friday and Saturday from 20:00 to 00:00, bringing musicians, writers and film professionals into on‑air conversations that link music with cinema, literature and digital arts. The organization’s mission is to promote Senegalese music in all its forms—modern, traditional and spiritual—while offering a meeting point for promoters, venue managers and other industry stakeholders. Dakar Musique is published by SENE MULTIMEDIA SUARL and carries the serial identifier ISSN 0850‑5756; the editorial director is Alioune SENE. It also curates video premieres and event agendas, and gives airtime to emerging voices alongside established stars. Coverage regularly spans festival circuits, rights societies and cultural institutions, helping artists navigate releases, touring and royalties. Founded in 2009, Dakar Musique has evolved into a reference for Senegal’s music ecosystem, connecting fans with the industry’s day‑to‑day pulse while archiving milestones of mbalax, hip‑hop, traditional and spiritual repertoires. By combining reporting with regular live programming, it operates as both a newsroom and a cultural forum, amplifying artists and informing audiences at home and abroad.
