Jabou, Habib
I think you confused "Tobacco Road" with the album entitled "Abbey Road" by
the Beatles. Tobacco Road in Banjul got its name from the song by the group
Rare Earth as I have said.(Oussou Njie Señor - HELP!). The popularity of the
song coincided with government's plan to develop the area and the "Super
Eagles Band" were one of the first to be assigned a plot there. The area
used to be farms of maize (corn) and sweet potatoes. (Sidi Sanneh did
wonders on these farms.) A part of it was a wrestling ground called "Dodou
Mbye Ya(rd)". The wrestling ground "Dodou Mbye Ya" used to be were we now
call New Primet/New Perseverance which was formally an open ground, where we
used to play football. For clarity sake, I have attached the lyrics of the
song "Tobacco Road" and anybody interested in the music, I will be glad to
send it.
Habib, expect a Pmail from me.
