Join us on a musical and rhythmical journey into the heart of sabar in Yoff, Senegal.
I believe that you can now learn sabar around the globe with the impressive number and quality of sabar artists everywhere. I also believe that if you want to truly grasp the essence, or a sense of sabar, you need to touch ground at the source, you need to dance in the sand, you need to experience the original context in which sabar has its place, you need to experience the energy at sabar events. There is no sabar school in Senegal, but there are many sabar camps, especially in the winter time. During our 2 week sabar camp, you can find us on the beach in Yoff, where I work with local artists who accompany you while you dive deeper into sabar culture, under the loving guidance and téranga of me and my Lébou inlaws. Welcome!
The dates for our 12th edition : Saturday 23 December 2023 – Saturday 6 January 2024
