*Male Chipu*
When I finally came home from studies four years ago, I was surprised to notice what I can only call a dead music industry (or scene as many people would like to call it). Now don’t get me wrong, I am sure something was happening, the only trouble is, no matter how long I tuned in to any local radio station, there was nothing to show me a sign of progress in Gambian music. Sure, GRTS would feature its regular videos of Gambian artists and it was sad that the ones they chose to show the nation were what seemed like 1984 productions of rubbish. I remember they still played Sambou Suso’s song that was featured some time in 1997 or so where she stood in front of some fugly (excuse the term) looking shrubs flanked left and right by a cultural troupe.
