about

Baye Fall is a sect of the Mouride Brotherhood and was founded by Amadou Bamba and Mame Chera Fall. Followers of Baye Fall use dedication and work for others as a way of prayer and showing thanks to God. Many Baye Fall followers wear their hair in dreadlocks in the same way as Mame Chera Fall did. Dreadlocks came to Mame naturally because he was working so hard for Amadou Bamba, and he didn't care about his appearance. This work ethic inspires today’s followers. When Kaira Ba sings, "Dile bige baay faal," it means, "Baye Fall, I'm happy to see you," a common expression shared among followers in Senegal.
