Yamma Jatta - XamXam - Jola - West African Music Video

Yamma Jatta 'na sukam enche yet la' which means 'the tribe told me to go home'.

This song tells a story of a girl who is abandoned by her husband. She is then told to go back to her husband by her family and the tribe offer her support saying 'the tribe must always stick together'.

XamXam's first music video 'Yamma Jatta' by the Gambian Jolla tribe 'Gibunket Asukatian' cultural troupe who are based in the village of 'Marakisse.

The video starts with their parting words to us as we headed back to the UK. The rest of the footage show the musicians in the studio, The Gambian outback, live at the Alliance Franco - Gambienne Cultural, the river Gambia.
Also there is At home with the Jolla's where they invited us to their compound and put on a great show. The real tribal side of Africa.

Anybody know where I can get some sources for West African Music? I'm doing a partner music project on it.

@Coldscooter7 Contact XamXam through their website and I'm sure they will be able to help.

Oh the Primordial Buddha Beat Peace in Natural Love and Heat The Codes of Voice Tune in the Jungles Do the Ethics of Being Run in the Bungles? The Morals of Joy and Laughter YoYoBa Oh Yamma Jatta XamXam HumHumDa The true voice of being in existence Is knowing: "no border, no persist fence" ! All flow in the sphere of air so true Allow all tribes pass your space too ! The Morals of Joy and Laughter YoYoBa Oh Yamma Jatta XamXam HumHumDa
