Senegal, on Africa’s west coast, is famous for its vibrant mbalax music, pink Lake Retba, and the historic island of Gorée. Senegalese people are renowned for their teranga (hospitality), colorful clothing, and lively street life. Islam is the main faith, with Sufi brotherhoods playing a central role in spiritual and social life. Grand religious gatherings, drumming, and the annual Magal pilgrimage are key expressions of faith and community.
