Jaliba Kuyateh from Gambia crushed his performance at the ECOWAS Culture Festival opening dinner after dropping a fresh track about regional unity. The kora player got massive applause from the crowd at the Museum of Black Civilization courtyard in Dakar, where Senegalese Prime Minister Ousman Sonko launched the six-day event. Hundreds of artists and academics from West African nations rolled through for the festival.
Gambia brought 30 artists and cultural performers to represent, with Tourism Minister Abdoulie Jobe and other officials backing the delegation. Africell helped fund the prep work for the crew. The King of Kora performs again at the closing ceremony, and the Gambian team plans to showcase sculpture, photography, paintings, dance, theatre, contemporary music, and crafts throughout the festival.
