one of his best creative masterpiece.
The
17 album, he said, is a masterpiece that every music fan would appreciate
looking at the angle and educating message contained in it.
“The
title of the album -Nka Na Kele says everything as looking at the present political
terrain of the country. The album also talks about our religious indifferences
and even in our local settings. It also has an educative dimension as it
reminds people that politics comes and go but our relationship is here to stay
forever”.

the album launch will go towards empowering this disable foundation.
“After
the album launch, I want to embark on a nationwide tour to better promote the
album. It is been a while I did not embark on a nationwide tour, so I think it
is important to do a tour to better promote the piece. In summer I want to
embark on summer tour internationally”.
One
of the songs in the album, he said, is dedicated to the Truth, Reconciliation

reason for that song is that TRRC is a new thing in The Gambia and for that I
thought it wise to dedicate a song and to promote reconciliation and unity”.
