It's not rastafariansm; it's just good vibes 07:49
(CNN)The followers of the Baye Fall aren't your typical Muslims. They show their devotion a bit differently: with dreadlocks and reggae.
Often, members of the Baye Fall are confused for Rastafarians.
"They both have very positive vibes, which is why they look alike -- the Baye Fall and the Rasta" concedes Mamadou Lamine Seck, a follower and the lead singer in Gustou Band.
"But we don't have the same prophet. I don't believe in Rasta, but I appreciate Rasta."
