« Sagg means proudness. Proud to be in love with someone. Proud to look at that one in the eyes and tell him/her that you wanna live forever together Because you are sure of your love and you trust the other one whatever it takes. In this video I try to show that true raw love is true love in a cinematic way with my drummer Papi Dieng expressing proudness with an experimental senegalese rhythm. » Alassane Badboy

« I write songs especially with the actions of composing live with my musicians, we are living the vibe in the studio and spiritually through sufism and the confraternity of the Daijra we are part of. I love collaborating with international creatives, I already did in Italy and also online from a distance. In my country I am used to hosting creatives from all over the world in diverse studios and the Dakar / senegalese scenario is really vivid when talking about artistic inspirations. I use my spirituality, the Wolof language, which I find really mystical and rhythmical, some French and English. I want to valorize my culture through my language and decolonize it from music through an innovative approach to rhythms and melodies / lyrics who are rooted in our heritage but meet the world through international choices and styles. » Alassane Badboy
