Freadyman: Gambia's newest breed in dancehall reggae

Friday, June 06, 2008
Freadyman is undisputedly among the newest Gambian talents of recent times dancehall reggae music.

With his unique style, Fready offers reggae with a distinctive message. He sing songs about  love and economic empowerment, as well as peace in the world. With a range that moves from sensitivity to rage over injustice, much of Freadyman's music is centered on the welfare of the poor and those on society's fringe. Freadyman is also a staunch supporter of African unity.

The young budding  star  began to develop his musical carrier when he was in the high school, and serving his musical apprenticeship with a group from Gambia known as new edition and later with one of the most famous groups called Hamaleh G, who are currently in Europe, working to develop their music carrier. While in Europe, freadyman happened to be a guest artist in many big concerts, and has staged with famous artists like Cañaman (Mad Sensi), the biggest reggae group from Spain, and many others.

For freadyman, the music is a vehicle for the message that he wants to send across to the world. The young artist is now busy working on his new and first solo CD, which is to be released in early 2008. He has climbed the platform as the newest breed with marvellous reggae music. Mixing African manual instruments to reggae and stiring properly his burns steadily like a dread furnace.

traditional manual instruments one would at least think of fusing with reggae's groovy beats are forced to be in a happy matrimony with the baseline, drums, horns and the melody. Freadyman, a youthful Gambian ensemble, is serving reggae with the spice of Kora (West African local guitar), Djembe and the Flute. He merges its heritage, culture and tradition to the popular reggae that has eaten deep into the nerves of all. The end result leaves ears in awe; drifting in the surprise of such a savvy mix.
