Casamance

Entertainment in Casamance

  1. Le Rubis

    Under new ownership, this place had turned itself into Ziguinchor's most fashionable dance floor when we visited, with salsa on Fridays and a global punch of hip-hop, R&B, mbalax (a mixture of Cuban beats and traditional sabar drumming) and plenty more on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

  2. Le Bombolong Nightclub

    Another busy club downtown - its dance floor seems to follow the same Ziguinchor rules as Le Rubis - 'grown-ups' sway to salsa on Fridays, while Saturday is younger and hipper, with heavier bass and faster rhythms.

  3. A

    L'Abondance

    This is really a dibiterie (grilled-meat place) rather than a bar, but as any dibiterie worth its meat, it's also the terminus, the final stop after a night out dancing.

  4. Bar Malila

    It's tiny, and if it weren't for the smart bar chairs and red-blue lighting, it would easily be confused with any other drinking spot. It gets going around 02:00.

  5. Walkunda Bar & Salon de Thé

    This pretty place near the Rond-Point Jean-Paul II serves drinks at very reasonable rates, as well as filling meals.

    The youth centre CDEPS near Rue de France is frequently hired for public dance soirees on weekends.
