Pape Niang


Pape is a star! When you are with him, you feel the magic of his music and interpretation.
Great percussionist and singer, he is also a marvelous composer.
When I went to Senegal, last April, I had the opportunity to share the stage with him. It was really great!
Nowadays we are working with his manager in order to get som gigs for him in Europe and other non-African countries.
And for sure, he will be the next artist to be produced by Fapman Productions.
I know it will be a nice experience with a better result with him.
Thanks for your positivity, Pape!

Vision


Vision is Vieux Mac Faye's new album. Produced by Fapman Productions, it is a step forward in what Vieux Mac has done until now.
It was produced between Europe and Africa. It is bold in the prominence it gives to traditional African instruments within the “joolof blues”, creating a fascinating “sound system” which separates it from traditional jazz to generate its own exclusive sound.

Concert for Vicki Sherpa EDUQUAL

I met Vicki Sherpa in Barcelona. She has a wonderful project in Nepal which follows the same principles I want to apply to my aid projects in Senegal.

We organized a concert to get funds to help one of the baby girls in her schools that needed an urgent operation.

It was a very sensitive night with a great audience

Vieux Mac Faye


I listened to him,
they talked to me about him,
I didn’t know him,
but in many ways we are similar.
Is it love for something different?
Is it the fighting and demanding character?
Is it sensitivity and the solitary rebel spirit?
We have achieved one thing, for the love of pure art,
which is making a record with ambition and enthusiasm,
for those who understand and who love something different.

Vieux Mac Faye is one of my favorite artists in the way he understands music. This is the reason why I decided to produce and promote him through Fapman Productions.

World

World is a single dedicated to all the people who fight in their daily lifes for a better world. We need to educate children from their tender years in the respect for our environment, since they are the future.

Opportunity




“Opportunity” is the first album I published through my record label, Fapman Records.
It represented to me the opportunity to express myself, to create Fapman for African artists who, like me, love to enrich African music with different colours.

They are 11 songs that talk about my childhood memories, Africa nowadays and a call to this continent to help itself and improve its situation with hard work and find self esteem.
It also talks about not forgetting roots and what nature means.
