Foday Kabba Dumbuya's life story, narrated by his daughter

http://www.onegambia.com/orahist.php A fantastic instalment from Pa Modou Njie (Gainde) of onegambia. He has just added an audio recording of Foday Kaba Dumbuya's career as narrated by his daughter (Maa-Awa Dumbuya). Kaba's encounter with the whites, Musa Molo and many other interesting accounts.The translation by Alhagie Mansour Njie is top draw. Our gems of radio Gambia Mansour, Alieu Darboe, the late Musa Camara, Sarjo Barrow, Manneh etc is something we should be proud of.the death of Foday Kaba and many more. The narration went well with the kora/kotin.
