Résumé

Cet article examine l'influence de l'Islam sur la musique populaire du Sénégal et décrit l'émergence d'une ‘nouvelle tradition’ qui adapte les chants de louanges des griots au soufisme. L'étude de cette tradition naissante a pour toile de fond les relations sociales entre les griots et les personnes qu'ils louangent, et entre les marabouts ou chefs religieux soufis et leurs disciples. On peut retrouver des éléments dérivés de ces deux relations dans cette ‘nouvelle tradition’, formant un genre musical hybride qui reflète la réalité sociale et religieuse du Sénégal moderne.
