Sabar is a family of drums, a style of music, a dance, a culture and way of life in Senegal, West Africa. This passionate musical tradition has been passed down orally for many generations by the griots (traditional oral historians and spoken word artists) and their students via drumming, traditional instruments, dance, storytelling and song.
