BAMBA by BATCH GUEYE | Griot Praise Song | Baye Fall Music from Senegal

This song is in praise of Serigne Touba, also known as Cheikh Amadou Bamba (1853–1927) . He was a Muslim Sufi leader in Senegal who founded the Mouride Brotherhood and the holy cities of Touba and Djourbel. He peacefully opposed the French colonialists, who tried to get rid of him, by torture, attempted executions, and by exiling him for many years in Gabon and Mauritania, all of which he survived and eventually was allowed back to Senegal in 1910. He taught the virtues of pacifism, the importance of hard work and good manners, and he could be classed as one of - if not the - biggest influence on contemporary Senegalese life and culture.
C'est une louange pour Sérigne Touba, aussi nommé Cheikh Amadou Bamba (1853–1927). Il était un chef Sufi musulman qui a fondé la confrérie Mouride et les cités sainte de Touba et Djourbel. Il s'est opposé pacifiquement aux colonialistes francais, qui ont essayé de se débarasser de lui sans arret, finalement en l'exilant au Gabon et puis en Mauritanie. Il a survécu et a réussi à retourner au Sénégal en 1910. Il éduquait les virtues du pacifisme, l'importance du travail et des bonnes manières, et il continue a éxercer une influence puissante sur la vie et la culture contemporaine au Sénégal.
