Music Distribution in Senegal
From the rhythms of Mbalax to Dakar's fierce hip-hop scene, ORB Entertainment delivers your Senegalese release to Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, Audiomack, Deezer and 150+ stores. You pay in CFA franc and withdraw your royalties to your local bank — no dollar account needed.
Dakar's heritage and its hip-hop edge
Senegal balances deep tradition with a sharp modern edge. Mbalax remains the national sound, while Dakar's hip-hop and rap scene is one of the most respected in West Africa. As a Francophone and Wolof-speaking market, Deezer matters a lot here alongside Boomplay and Audiomack — and ORB delivers to all of them plus Spotify and Apple worldwide.
The payment story is what sets ORB apart for Senegalese artists. You subscribe in CFA franc and your royalties return to you in CFA, withdrawn straight to a local bank — no foreign account and no conversion losses.
