Roots The Fulani are the most widespread of all West African peoples. Traditionally cattle herding nomads, Fulani communities have settled in Cameroon, Niger, Mali, Guinea, Senegal and Nigeria. Wherever they went, they developed distinctive cultural practices and musical styles. Omar Ka was born in 1973 in Senegal, though his family roots lie in Niger. His sensitive vocals and intricate guitar melodies tell instantly of his Nigerian ancestry, while mbalax, reggae and funk beats ground his music firmly in the bustling streets of Dakar.
