But I am sure if my music takes root in the country, mbalax enthusiasts will forever appreciate it.

But right now I cannot perform here because I didn’t make contacts yet,” he said.

He then used the opportunity to extend sincere greetings to all music lovers in the Gambia, including the Gambian leader for his constant support to Gambian musicians and music in general.
