King Kora Gambia Tour 2007 Part I

Our born-to-be-legendary 2weeks tour on the river Gambia with concerts in Sanyang, Georgetown, Basse Santa Su, Bansang, Kuntaur, Sukuta, Kololi and in our favourite place: Bundung.
The 40 people of our "extended band family" we were driving around 50 miles every day on two boats up and down the river.
In the afternoons we arrived in the villages of our destination. After greeting the Alkali, the Chief of town, our technical crew tried to setup our PA in front of a big Baobab or in one of the youth centers. They tried and they succeded everytime, somehow, but they were very tired at the end of the tour. Later in the evenings we played our concerts ... and nobody stayed at home. we are planning to bring out a documentary about this tour. this is just a teaser
