In [[Senegal]], the traditional culture is very centred around the idea of family. This even includes the way that they eat. When it is time to eat a typical meal, someone will say "kay lekk" which means 'come eat'. Everyone will come together and sit around the plate and eat with their hands.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.commisceo-global.com/country-guides/senegal-guide|title=Senegal – Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette|website=www.commisceo-global.com|access-date=2016-11-14}}</ref> Some famous dishes include Cebbu Jën (Tiéboudienne) and Yassa. The etiquette of people in Dakar is very simple but very vital. To not greet someone upon sight is to portray rudeness and oftentimes ignorance. Due to French colonialism, the children of Dakar have a unique school system. The school will get a break at about midday and return home to get some rest. Since the population is majority Muslim, there are numerous daily Islamic activities ongoing, such as participating in noon prayer at the nearest mosque and attending the local mosque on Fridays. Music has a big influence on the youth with famous artists like Daara J Family who use their voice to represent the problems in their communities.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://musicinafrica.net/hip-hop-senegal?language=en|title=Hip-hop in Senegal|date=2015-02-06|access-date=2016-11-14}}</ref>
