Senegalese singer, Demba Dia, eying the mayoralty of a district in Dakar, has announced his own political party.
Blog Politique au Senegal thinks Dia's candidacy is hardly serious [Fr]…
…il ne cite personne, ne se fâche avec personne, ne se positionne par rapport à rien et n'a pas l'imagination débordante vu le programme qu'il se fixe.
…but neither is politics in Senegal!
Blog Politique au Senegal posts this cartoon, which reads: “When politicians are buffoons, it's only natural that entertainers become involved in politics.”
Of course, the phenomenon of entertainers, actors, rock stars, footballers, getting involved in politics is hardly unique to Senegal. Chrisou, a reader, comments:
Je ne suis pas sénégalais… mais l'affiche et le slogan me plaisent beaucoup! On pourrait même l'adopter dans pas mal de pays…
There's not a lot about Demba Dia online, but here is one of his music videos on YouTube, posted by a member who calls Dia “the King of Mbalakh Rock.”
