Originally from Senegal.
Sabar is a song about the Manding, the home of the griots, a place where all singing and dancing began. It is a very important place for all griots to remember. A lot of artists sing about this place. They sing that they are going to the Manding to see all the Griots and the Manding people. It is the place where all traditional music in West Africa began. All African artists know about this place and it is very important for all griots to sing about this place. The griots will carry this traditional rhythm throughout life This is why Sabar is an important rhythm for me.
