Sona Jobarteh - GAMBIA (Official Video)

Показать описание

Sona Jobarteh's debut music video "Gambia" in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Independence for the Gambia in 2015.

This video features the traditional Mandinka Drum called the 'Seruba', an instrument no longer featured much in Gambian mainstream society. By featuring the drum in this song, Sona aims not only to resonate with the deep history of the Mandinka people, but also to boost and promote awareness of this instrument both in the Gambia and internationally.

I‘m a German, 55 years and my husband was a Gambian. He died here in Germany in 2011 (cancer). Today he would have celebrated his 62nd birthday.

In 1998 he took me to his country and we spent there two years. This was the most beautiful time of my life. For the first time, I felt like real living - I felt alive like never before.

So, I want to say „Thank you“ to my husband again, who showed me a place where my soul could breath.

Whenever I feel down, doubting what this life is all about, I go back in my mind and think of those glory days ❤

I am from Ukraine and this music made me cry. It touches something deep in my heart. I think we missed Africa and we miss it. I play it and dance in the kitchen. I would like the whole world go out in the streets and dance African dances. As not only live in our brains, but also in our bodies and our hearts.

Im sierra leonian and Gambian. My dad is from Gambia and my mom from Sierra leone. My dad left us when i was a litle kid. We live in the same country but not in the same city. He never calls me and he promissed that he would visit me but he never came. Thats why I dont know much about Gambia but ik its a beautiful country! The people the food the beaches and much more. Anytime I hear this wonderful song it reminds me of my father 😢. Im so happy that my mom and I are visiting Gambia soon 💗

I am a retired dentist in the USA. I have been a fan of Reggae and African music for nearly 50 years. I had no knowledge of Sona Jobarteh or the Kora until I saw tonight's story on '60 Minutes'. Fascinating music! Now I have something new to explore. Gambia looks like a very interesting country. Thank you!!
