Dakar run end to end, from Almadies and Yoff through Plateau and Medina out to Pikine and Guediawaye, letting the facts carry the satire: a rally that kept the city's name and left the continent, a bronze colossus cast in Pyongyang, an airport moved forty-five kilometres away. Goree and Thiaroye are named, never sung over.

Fast mbalax at 148 BPM over a driving sabar battery of nder, mbeng-mbeng and col with talking-drum tama fills answering every phrase, bright interlocking electric guitar, punchy horn stabs and warm bass, sung by equal-share male and female Senegalese leads in a thick Dakar Wolof-French accent with a small mixed chorus answering.
