About Us
Seereer Radio was founded by Tamsier Joof in association with the Seereer Resource Centre (SRC) as part of the SRC's educational initiative to preserve and promote Seereer culture, history and traditions. To that end, our vision and objectives runs parallel with the Seereer Resource Centre.
Although there are some Seereer radio stations in Senegal, few, if any, stream live on the internet. In Gambia and Mauritania — where the Seereer people are also found, there are no Seereer radio stations albeit several Seereer radio and television broadcasters, and station founders. Most radio programmes are broadcast in the colonial languages and in Wolof especially in Senegal and The Gambia where Wolofization is a phenomenon.
This has had a knock-on effect on Seereer culture especially the Seereer languages such as Seereer, Saafi-Saafi, Ndut, Noon, Laalaa and Sili-Sili. Working in partnership with the Seereer Resource Centre, Seereer Radio attempts to breach this gap and be the voice of the Seereer community wherever they are in the world.
