Cherno, it seems you too have a few years under your belt? Lol. Yes, we should be entertain with history and traditions..Alh Mansour is a good resources, along side the late Alieu Darboe, Lalo Samateh RIP and many others. Sadly a lot of the old radio Gambia tapes are getting spoil I heard, they are not digitalising them. Pa Njie is working hard in digitalising them, but at his own cost..According to him, a lot of vital materials are damaged beyond repair, the old form of dance and drum beats, kankuran records of the 60's etc are all but damage. Talk about us valuing ourselves... Cheers Suntou On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 12:26 AM, C. Omar Kebbeh <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Suntu, I love history.
