Aïssatou Faye as known as Aïda mou Baye lives by religious melodies since her childhood. She altouhght found her musical style since 2000.”I started the zikr when I was in Dakar(Sénégal) at Baye Mamour Insa’s (my Shaykh) under his permission”. I have combined modern and traditional musical instruments to attract more young she said.
Aida mou Baye follows the footsteps of her paternal grandmother Fatou Mbaye who was practicing zikr for Baye Niass in Kaolack and was among the women who followed Baye at Kossi. She had a beautiful voice, recalls the singer. Aida perpetuates a family heritage.
Evoking Allah is what drives her trough her daily rituals every day. Laa Ilaaha Ilalah is the essence of my life she said. Her life’s goal is to set herself a priesthood to work for God only.
“As Shaykh Al Islam Shaykh Ibrahim Niass taught us,we have to be thankful to him in return for this benefit” she said.
