\nThe carnival coincides with the beginning of the tourist season in Senegal. A key aspect of the festival is the celebration of what Senegalese people call the spirit of Teranga, a familiar word that broadly means generosity, hospitality and warmth. The carnival plays an important role in preserving the country’s heritage, as well as in the economic development of local communities.
\nIt is a return to the sources that were drawn from this carnival, said Youf City Mayor Issa Lai Samp. \u201cIt is an honor for us to be able to revive all this cultural heritage that we have inherited.\u201d
\n“We pray that this Dakar Carnival will flourish, like the Rio Carnival, and will be one of the major cultural events in black Africa,” he added. \u201cEvery edition has its challenges in embodying diversity, and the challenge this year is to launch our approach to local partnership,\u201d said Fatou Cassie Sarr, director of La Bale Com, the organizer of the\u00a0Dakar\u00a0Carnival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
