Medina Sàngaako is a Ñoominka (Séeréer-speaking) fishing village in the Saalum River Delta. It is well known as one of the important villages in the Séeréer-speaking Taalibe Baay community and is home to several muqaddams and hosts some yearly religious events. Its founders came from the nearby village of Sàngaako. I have not inquired as to whether its founders directly named it after Medina Baay (as did the founders of a number of other villages, such as Medina Caameen, now called Caameen Sanc). Both Aamadu Njaay and Aadi Faal conducted interviews with muqaddams there, and Aadi Faal attended the gàmmu there, although I have never been there.
