From ancient trade routes to modern-day legends, Senegal’s vibrant culture is stepping into the spotlight—and it’s all thanks to a sport you’ve probably never heard of. Meet laamb, the high-energy traditional wrestling that’s more than just a game—it’s a national obsession. 🏆
In 2018, Senegal’s passion for laamb got a major upgrade with a state-of-the-art arena in Dakar. Built with Chinese collaboration, the 20,000-seat venue has become a stage for athletes to transform into local heroes. Think Gladiator meets Black Panther, but with way more cultural flair! 💥
Our docuseries The Call of the Silk Road dives into how this partnership isn’t just about sports—it’s a bridge connecting continents. From boosting tourism to preserving heritage, Senegal’s wrestling scene is now a global conversation starter. 🤝✨
