Cheikh Ibra Fam

Cheikh Ibra Fam is a multi-dimensional artist whose nearly 15 year career has demonstrated a free and futuristic spirit, well anchored in his Senegalese roots. He introduced his first international album in the Spring of 2022 entitled ‘Peace in Africa’ for the French record label Soulbeats Music. He is also a singer for Orchestra Baobab, a famous Senegalese Afro-Cuban jazz band. Cheikh is an RFI Talent, part of the Putumayo World Discovery Program and a socially involved artist who has collaborated with the UN Refugee Agency, Association Monégasque Internationale pour L’Art Africain (AMIAA), and Innovation: Africa.

Cheikh Ibra Fam’s first solo album, ‘Peace In Africa’, is the Afro-pop fruit of this musical impetus, it is as much anchored in Africa as it is open to the wider world, connected to his ancestral roots and resolutely contemporary. “Before, I was searching for myself,” the singer confided with a sense of relief and satisfaction that hints to his quest for an artistic identity.
