Def Mama Def (9 p.m., Le Ministère, $25). This Senegalese female duo (also spelled Defmaa Maadef) is an alliance between singer Defa and rapper Mamy Victory, who match their fiery vocalizations with strident drumbeats. “Senegal is a pioneer of the hip hop sound in Africa,” Rousseau said. “Def Mama Def is very avant-garde, and they’ve never come here before.”
