Cheikh Ibra Fam
8/6/2026 | 2m 47s
Performer Cheikh Ibra Fam brought Senegal to Hazelwood Local this summer.
At Hazelwood Local’s recent Summer Sounds Concert, audiences were treated to a performance from Cheikh Ibra Fam. Known for his blending of Afropop with funk, jazz, soul, and roots music, we caught up with him on where he drew his inspiration from and why others should pay more attention to the lyrics of African music.
