Serigne Moussa Ka

Serigne Moussa Ka was born in 1891 in Kanka, near Touba, the son of Serigne Ousmane Ka. A relative of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, to whom he pledged allegiance through his father, he always presented himself as a simple disciple. Nicknamed "wërékane", the inspired one, he devoted himself after Bamba's death to poetry in wolofal, Wolof written in Arabic script, to pass on the master's teaching and history to the masses, and is regarded as the undisputed master of the genre. He died in the mid-sixties.
