A Gainde in Senegal is not a term that is commonly used or recognized. However, there is a term called "Simb" which is a part of the Géwël tradition in Senegal. The Simb is a type of performance that involves a group of people dressed in elaborate costumes, including a Simb dressed up as a woman who represents the wife of the great lion. The lion motif is very important in Senegalese culture and carries many layers of meaning religiously and secularly. The Simb is closely linked to Senegalese culture since the countrys national symbols are the Lion and the Baobab tree. The Simb is performed along with a Thiakaaba, which is a type of drum. The Simb is a unique cultural treasure of Senegal that has been passed down from generation to generation.
