"Xam Xam" is the first single from Cheikh Ibra Fam’s upcoming album "Adouna." Infused with the hypnotic pulse of Caribbean zouk and Angolan kizomba, the ethereal strings of the kora, and the soul of West Africa, the song is a call to embrace knowledge as the most valuable treasure of all. “Knowledge,” sings Cheikh, “if you have it, you have everything.”
In a world where people search for meaning in distant places, "Xam Xam" is a reminder that sometimes the greatest wisdom is found in the voices of our elders, in the traditions of our ancestors, and in the stories of those who came before us. With "Xam Xam", Cheikh Ibra Fam sets the stage for Adouna, an album that explores themes of migration, love, faith, and the universal human search for purpose. Over the next year, he will embark on a global tour, bringing his message of music, memory, and movement to audiences worldwide.
“Xam Xam” is more than just a song. It is an entreaty to listen, to learn, and to honor those who light the way.

"Xam Xam" est le premier single du prochain album de Cheikh Ibra Fam, "Adouna." Imprégné des rythmes envoûtants du zouk caribéen et de la kizomba angolaise, des cordes éthérées de la kora et de l'âme de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, ce titre est une invitation à considerer le savoir comme le plus précieux des trésors. "La connaissance", chante Cheikh, "si tu l'as, tu as tout."
Dans un monde où l’on cherche souvent un sens ailleurs, "Xam Xam" rappelle que la plus grande sagesse réside parfois dans les voix de nos aînés, dans les traditions de nos ancêtres et dans les récits de ceux qui nous ont précédés. Avec "Xam Xam", Cheikh Ibra Fam pose les bases de son album à venir Adouna, qui explore les thèmes de la migration, de l’amour, de la foi et de la quête universelle du sens de la vie.
Au cours de l’année qui vient, cheikh va partir en tournée mondiale, portant son message de musique, de mémoire et d’action autour du monde.
"Xam Xam" est bien plus qu’une chanson. C’est une invitation à écouter, à apprendre et à honorer ceux qui éclairent notre chemin.
