Sama Dom

“Sama Dom” is a devotional piece that explores one of the most meaningful themes in Senegalese culture: the love, responsibility, and spiritual weight involved in raising a child. The song moves like a blessing and reflects the belief that a child carries the parent’s essence, dignity, and future. Calling children by name continues a living tradition in Senegal where parents sing directly to their children in moments of protection, guidance, or praise.

This track brings together Senegalese rising star Baye Dame Bou Yaye and producer Ben Aylon in their first creative collaboration. Baye Dame, who began in poetry-slam and rap before entering spiritual music, delivers the song with emotional clarity and presence. Ben shapes the production around traditional Senegalese strings and instruments, placing them in a modern sonic environment without losing their raw character

“Sama Dom” is both intimate and expansive. It respects the cultural roots of the message while presenting a sound that reaches beyond borders. It is a song about love, protection, and the responsibility we carry toward the next generation, presented through a cross-cultural musical language that feels fresh and timeless.
