Hailing
from one of the smallest countries in Africa, the Gambian music scene has
struggled to make waves beyond the 1.2m populated country.
With
stadium concerts from the likes of Wizkid, Davido, P Square, Flava and more; it
has fast become a popular destination for Afrobeats but local talent often
struggle.
27-year-old
rapper Bai Babu has shone light to a promising start at changing all that with
the success of his hit song ‘Fahass’
Speaking
exclusively to MTVBase, “I feel honoured and proud to be the first Gambian to
make it to a million views. I’m happy that a Gambian music video has gone this
far. It has motivated me to go for even more views in my upcoming projects.”
This
came shortly after ending his debut US tour supporting Senegalese star, Pape
Diouf, who has taken him under his wing.
The
rising star performed in almost all the states, meeting thousands of his
SeneGambian fans.
