the thing i really love about music thow is it's completely fair. I mean that first song he played was diatonic, which is heavily used in celtic (irish scotish) culture music, and than he goes all pentatonic which is very much african but at the same time you find native american traditional songs ingrained with it halfway around the world. good sounds is good sounds ; ) thats all.

Wow that was wonderful. Thank you for showing us.

Beautiful instrument, thank you for sharing. In your professional opinion, is it possible to ascertain the origin of the banjo and guitar? Just curious, as I am a bit of a history buff.

Awesome, thank you very much! :)

Like it, this style is unusual, and rare, pure, simple,
hard to find in the Internet or on recorings. This old-"original"style kind of musik, it`s going, I`m afraid.

I wonder why there is an address written on the akonting.

The reason is that the Akonting player he borrowed the Akonting from is Esa (Jesus) Jarju who played on different clubs in Banjul and needed to plug for himself

Hello UlfJagfors, I have a curiosity...do they sing in Portuguese, in that region you went? Thank you

Yes and No. The Casamance region stretch beyond the boarder to Guinea Bissau were they use Portuguese as official language. Most people use however the Creolo dialect that is a mix of african languages and Portuguese. I have never heard any African sing in either Portugues or Creolo with tradtional instruments. That does not mean that it could not happend specially in more modern music.
