In the 50s and 60s, the entire Senegalese nation was fired by the Afro-Cuban rhythms of salsa. This was the "era of possibilities" where, after obtaining independence, the country faced the future with optimism. Dakar was the center of African cultural crossover with its Festival of Black Arts. Salseros such as Pape Seck, Maguette Ndiaye, Lynx Tall, Amara Touré, Mady Konaté, Labba Sosseh, were at the height of their art. But in time, confidence in the future dwindled, the legendary locations vanished, the great musicians passed away. Against a background of archive footage, Senegalese artists reminisce nostalgically about the salsa years.
