Ginny, "kasak" is the collection of songs sung during the male circumcision
period when a boy moves from childhood to manhood.

I knew that, for some reason, but can't remember when I heard it or where
I'd heard it from. Possibly this list? lol...

The songs are full of
hidden meanings and wisdom. You have to undertand the language to fully
appreciate it.

More of a reason to learn the local Gambian languages then?

The melodies are however very great given that some of
Gambia's finest are singing. They are sure to bring back memories of such a
special time in Gambian life. Have a good weekend.

I'm sure they would. Good thing you've got them up for people to listen to
and enjoy, be they Gambian or not...

Do you get a lot of non-Gambian listenres? Maybe it would be a good idea to
provide English or other language interpretations of the words to soem of
the songs, or is that not possible?
