However, a friend of mine, Famara Dampha and I suggested to name my studio Kerewan, which is also my birthplace. It was very tough there were no facilities would call Kora players and record it. However, taking it to Senegal for duplication was a big, big problem. Actually no because I have other businesses. I was able to make a living and acquire what I have.
Gambian music has a long way to go before it can carve a permanent niche for itself.
There are no facilities to assist our musicians. All we can do is record here and duplicate in Senegal. Our music at one time died and Senegalese music dominated the market. People got used to that, which is further shifting our music. If this can be overturned, a bright future awaits Gambian music.
