• PROFILE •
M’bor Faye Keeps the Spirit Alive
Whenever you hear the big beautiful powerful sound of drumming, you can bet M’bor Faye is attached to it. M’bor was born in Senegal and has been drumming as long as he can remember. In Senegal, he says, everyone learns to drum, “It’s like when a cow gives birth, the calves can just walk,” and the people just drum. Every family and every culture in Africa drums, but not every person channels it like M’bor Faye. As a young man, he would drum every chance he got, and eventually joined a large group, Mandika.
Touring with Mandika brought him to the United States.  After the 49-state tour, he settled in Oakland for a few months, and a friend invited him to come to Santa Cruz and play for a UCSC graduation. He never left. He says that Santa Cruz is a beautiful and special place, “Right when I got here, I felt it, and I said ‘this is the place I want to be.’” That was 18 years ago.
M’Bor lives at the Tannery with his wife, Oumou, who is an African dance teacher, and their three children, age 15, 12, and 5. He still drums every day, works hard and contributes to his family and the greater Santa Cruz community. The rhythm draws people in from the outside and it is inspiring to see people of different cultures and different races dancing together. M’Bor says that the classes they hold bring participants real joy.
Come march and dance for the river with M’Bor Faye and his family this Saturday! You can also hear him and his group every Tuesday night at the Crepe Place.
