Music in Gambia (pt 5)

I think all Gambians are more or less musicians and dancers, as traditions are strong on the countryside, people bring that music with them where ever they go.

Drums are the basics of all african music, melody and background ensamble are brought on with kora, palaphone and other instruments.

A griot is a West African poet, praise singer, and wandering musician, considered a repository of oral tradition. Griots today live in many parts of West Africa, including Mali, Gambia, Guinea, and Senegal.
