Dakar is the capital city and largest city of Senegal. It is located on the Cap-Vert Peninsula on the Atlantic coast and is the westernmost city on the African mainland. Its position, on the western edge of Africa, is an advantageous departure point for trans-Atlantic and European trade; this fact aided its growth into a major regional port.
According to December 31, 2005 official estimates, the city of Dakar proper has a population of 1,030,594, whereas the population of the Dakar metropolitan area is estimated at 2.45 million people.
Dakar is a major administrative centre, home to the National Assembly of Senegal and Senegal's President's Palace.
The Cape Verde Peninsula was settled, no later than the 15th century, by the Lebou, an ethnic group related to the neighboring Wolof and Sereer. The original villages: Ouakam, Ngor, Yoff and Hann, still constitute distinctively Lebou neighborhoods of the city today. Meanwhile, in 1444, the Portuguese arrived on the island of Gorée and founded a settlement there. By 1536, they had begun using it as a base for the export of slaves. The mainland of Cap-Vert, however, was under control of the Jolof Empire, as part of the western province of Cayor which seceded from Jolof in its own right in 1549. A new Lebou village, called Ndakaaru, was established directly across from Gorée in the 17th century to service the European trading factory with food and drinking water. Gorée was captured by the United Netherlands in 1588, which gave it its present name (spelled Goeree, after Goeree-Overflakkee in Holland). The island was to switch hands between the Portuguese and Dutch several more times before falling to the English under Admiral Robert Holmes on January 23, 1664, and finally to the French in 1677. Though under continuous French administration since, Métis families, descendant from Dutch and French traders and African wives, dominated the slave trade. The infamous "House of Slaves" was built here in 1776.

Fisherman from Dakar
Said he invented Hip-hop.
His skin clutching the wind
Within his thoughts.
It wasn’t Grandmaster Flash
Or Afrika Bambaataa,
It came from their father’s
Father’s father.
Soaking suns and daughters
Until it reached the white man,
Drip, drip, drip then dripped to the
Jap man.
I am the half-man with a nice
Tan, a rock and roll nigger
Straight from the pacific islands.
Go ahead Patty,
Go ahead Patty,
Clap your hands.
Verse 2
Fisherman from Dakar
Said he invented Hip-hop.
It came from the Empire,
Squeezed from its tear drops.
Hip-hop’s in the sea, in the sky
In the night moon.
It came in the ships
With the slaves and the dead flies.
Soaking suns and daughters
Until it dripped to the white man.
Drip, drip, drip then it dripped
To the Jap man.
I am the half-man with a nice
Tan, a rock and roll nigger
Straight from the pacific islands.
Go ahead Patty,
Go ahead Patty,
Clap your hands.
Coro
Clap your hands, baby clap your hands, come on,
Clap your hands, baby clap you motha fuckin,
Clap your hands, baby clap your hands, come on,
Clap your hands, baby clap your motha fuckin,
Bridge
Clap your hands (Clap your hands)
Clap your hands (Clap your hands)
Bridge 2
A sand of Senegal cried out to the sea,
When is hip hop gonna save me?
Chorus
It’s bigger than hip hop,
It’s sweeter than hip hop,
