Sona Jobarteh performing Gambia at ESTAM world music festival in Kragujevac, Serbia
3.9.2021.
ESTAM festival is organised by Student Cultural Center Kragujevac.

SONA JOBARTEH (Gambia, UK)
Sona Jobarteh is the first female virtuoso on Kora, an instrument that comes from the West African Griot dynasty. Kora is a harp-like instrument with 21 strings and traditionally the skill of playing is passed from father to son. The Jobarteh dynasty has a great reputation as renowned masters on this instrument. Defying tradition, Sona managed to become a pioneer in the traditional patriarchal heritage that was passed down from father to son over seven centuries.
Sona is known for her instrumental skills, characteristic voice, infectious melodies and graciousness on stage, and she quickly achieved international success as a top performer. Through her music, she conveys messages of cultural identity, love and respect, always remaining faithful to her Gambian heritage.

This should be Gambia's national song. So beautiful. I miss Africa so much.

Sona, dziękuję Ci za tę piękną muzykę . Każdy Twój utwór porusza mnie do głębi ale szczególny sentyment mam do utworu Gambia. Chociaż dzisiaj jesteś mało znaną artystką w moim kraju w Polsce, to jednak się zmieni. Zrobię co będę mógł abyś mogła koncertować tutaj. Polska czeka na Ciebie.

From Argentina I have been listening to you for a long time, Sona, and I am increasingly moved by your music, your voice, your feelings and that of your musicians. I would love to sing that "Gambia le má" (I understand it means home or place) live watching you sing like I do now on your recording. I love your hair, your look, your smile... Big hug!❤🤗
