    Mbalax: Traces of Tradition in Senegalese Hip-Hop A MASTER’S THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BY MIKAYLA WINNER SIMERAL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY December 22, 2017 Acknowledgements The moment I first visited Africa in 2007, I knew I was meant to do more than visit and leave. I have dreamt of executing musical research on this beautiful continent ever since that day, and ten years later, here I am. This study would not be possible without the assistance and support of some very meaningful people in my life. First, I would like to thank Adja and Mommy Gna Gna for opening their home to me in Dakar. Thank you for your patience and kind support through all of my ups and downs. Bisou bisou to you both. Bouna and Neesa, if it weren’t for you two I would have never gone to Senegal. Thank you for inspiring me to want to learn more about your vibrant culture and allowing me to stay with your family. You are both such a blessing in my life and I can’t imagine what this study would have been without you. Ibou and Paco, my drum teachers at Africa Tilibo, I will always have a special place in my heart for the both of you. Thank you for your patience, your persistence, your smiles, your afternoon tea and your wealth of drumming knowledge. Africa Tilibo became my second home in Senegal, and I will never forget my lessons underneath the mango tree.
