As Strathmore Music Centre prepares to host our own Gambian kora maestro, Sona Jobarteh, for thousands of audiences in the United States, His Excellency Ambassador Momodou Lamin Bah was on Tuesday March 5th invited by Strathmore in Bethesda for a briefing prior to the event proper.
During the visit, the Ambassador and delegation were taken on a conducted tour of the hall and the premises where the event would be held. The Embassy was offered the opportunity to invite Gambian organisations or associations to the Calabash Arts Market community in order to showcase their artifacts prior and after the concert.
This offer would undoubtedly enable local Gambian visual artists, performers and vendors who practice and promote our cultural arts to display and sell their products and services.
