Yero, My
intentions were humble and sincere, the class struggle in
Africa can damage good relations. I want to close this case.
I spoke to Tata on the phone and he can confess to that. I
am not a small man to going up and down on this. I never say
things that I don't know about. I also cannot stop
anyone from denying
. I do not want to be a menu book for the public
entertainment. I respect his decision that he require prayer
to get well. He asked me to help without specific direction.
Since we do not think in the same way, I decided to assist
in my own good way. He said he has money, healthy account.
But I believe that he was under??? pressure to say he
don't need money but prayers. He is not poor but OK.Its
good he correct that. That should be the END.
So I rest my case and reserve my energy.I
wish him luck and I will always stay by him and his music.
this was an unfortunate mis-point but we will continue to be
close to him as usual. I can understand his position.
I regret it very
much..RespectfullyOko

Mr. Drammeh -
Here is what a childhood friend of mine
(Alieu Lito Darboe) posted on his facebook page. Can you
please clarify on that. It is very important to get
someone's consent before going ahead and requesting for
help on their behalf. I don't know what your
relationship with Tata is, but I suggest you get his
consent, or any other person, before going in public to
solicit anything on their behalf. I apologize for being the
carrier of this disappointing news for you, but it was quite
important for me to rejoin it here especially after I added
my lines to your request.
Best always,
Yero

Dear Yoro, Thank you for
your sincere letter. As you may know, for some people
looking Good is far better than being Good. Since My passion
in life is caring for artists and creators of the Gambia.
It is my way of life to help some one else because I depend
on some one else too. Tata will be fine. He is geared by all
the calls and prayers and so on. Our culture is caring and
sharing. I take your word with honour
Most gratefulOko Drammeh

Mr. Drammeh -
From an artist point of view, I am inspired to
endorse your call to help Tata Din-din Jobarteh. As a
youth, we enjoyed his music at the famous
'Bendoula' center in Brikama in the early 90s.
Both Tata and his brother (Pa ) are Kora stars. It was some
years back when I enquired about their seeming silence in
Gambia's cultural arena, and I was informed that Tata
wasn't doing well health wise. He was certainly a top
notch promising artist. My heart itches over his predicament
and aborted plans of being the Kora super star he once
dreamt.
Best regards,
Yero.

URGENT
MATTER
IMMIADIATE ASSISTANCE NEEDED!
The Griot and music legend Tata Din Din jobarteh is
critacially sick and moving only by clutches.
He cannot afford the medical financial costs. The artists
are not fairly taken care of.
A Griot is a library and this we all know as the
embodiment of our culture and history.
We all have to be conscious on this, sympathetic, generous
and obey one of the
Commandments of God and that is charity. This fine
gentleman, a flag of Gambia is slowly fading. Why do we
stand aside and look, to see our prophets die prematurely
and some of say it's a part of life, thinkers and
artists don't matter. The motor of our life as Gambians
is: Caring and Sharing. This is the Gambian way!
We need to restore his health and put him back to the front
for the nation and his family. He is a community belonging
and he has served his role in our society well and therefore
the society should play their part. Let us uphold our values
in a positive way.
"A people without culture is like a tree without
roots".

The Gambian Kora emperor Tata Dindin Jobarteh has been a
catalyst in the evolution and re-invention of "GAMBIAN
KORA MUSIC" to more accurately offer contemporary
smooth Kora sounds. Truly Tata Dindin Jobarteh has for the
most part created forms sustainable for the expression of
his genius.
