Wrestling Match (June 26)

The wrestling match stadium


The drumroll doesn't stop through out the whole match



Before the match, each wrestler and the entourage dance by the drumbeats. The fans cheer when their wrestler danced in front of their sections. While dancing, the wrestler splash the holy water onto his body to win the match.

The disappointment
Throughout the game, there was a lot going on on the field. Some people were singing and the group of women were dressed in very colorful Senegalese traditional dress and were dancing by the drum beats. I guess the wrestling match isn't all about winning/losing in Senegal. It's more like a celebration and show that peole can enjoy and be part of. Although it was hard to not to get distracted by dancing and singing, I really enjoyed watching the traditional Senegalese wrestling match.
