Aziz Faye comes from a long line of master Sabar drummers and dancers. His family Sing Sing, is the nguewel Family of Dakar going back many generations. Aziz grew up in Medina, the nguewel suburb of Dakar, Senegal, learning from his father; Sing Sing Faye, grandfather, and uncles the secret of the Sabar. After mastering Sabar, Aziz went on to master the Djembe as well. From a young age he stood out as one of the most talented of his generation and as a young boy he was a premiere performer in Le Ballet Sing Sing Rhythm, both dancing and drumming. He has also performed with the National Ballet of Senegal.
His latest album, MEDINA RUE 23, named after the street he grew up on, was recorded in Dakar this year (2008) and features 3 Generations of his Sing Sing family and friends that he grew up with. His Father is featured on two tracks "Sing Sing Faye" & "3 Generations".
Sabar and the nguewel people are an integral part of the Wolof ritual and social life. The nguewel plays an important part in daily Senegalese life playing at all important ceremonies such as baby namings (Ngente), harvest festivals, marriage celebrations, healing ceremonies (Ndeup), ritual combat (Lute), possession dances, traditional dance and drum parties (Sabar) and rites for Kings and Presidents.
Besides being exquisitely beautiful and exciting to watch, Sabar, it's music, dance, and song, is used as a vehicle to communicate the oral tradition of the Wolof. Legends, myths, fables, riddles, and proverbs have been transmitted from generation to generation by nguewels through Sabar.
Aziz has also played and danced for many world renowned mbalax bands such as Youssou N'Dour, Fallou Dieng, Baaba Maal, Ismael Lo and Mbaye Dieye Faye, as well as european artist Peter Gabriel. In 1999 Aziz was commissioned to play for Ike Quartay in his fight against Oscar de la Hoya. He is truly an artists artist. Currently, Aziz records and plays with John Densmore's TRIBAL JAZZ in LA and around the country.
