Gambia's Hosts Roots Festival For Africa's Children
Organizers hope the Roots Homecoming Festival will attract Blacks from throughoutthe Diaspora to gambia to celebrate African history and culture.
http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/34/017.html

Extractions: 2 April, 1997 BANJUL, GambiaA special June festival is planned in this beautiful West African country. Organizers hope the "Roots: Homecoming Festival" will attract Blacks from throughout the Diaspora to Gambia to celebrate African history and culture. The festival was first conceived by the late author Alex Haley, who traced his family roots to Gambia. Mr. Haley, who wrote the 1970s bestseller "Roots," which was later made into a movie and inspired Black Americans to trace their family ancestry, asked Gambians to "call home" all Africans for a celebration of their history and culture. Mr. Haley died in 1992. The festival is in its second year and planned for June 14th-21. The event promises to bring Black people together in Gambia, a land which could easily be renamed "the land of God" because of its colorful landscapes and natural beauty.

Home Travel to africa ReviewOur Grandmothers Drums A Portraitof Rural african Life culture Travel to gambia And Senegal.
http://www.travel-helper.com/to/africa/gambia-and-senegal/Our-Grandmothers-Drums

Extractions: "It was in the early hours of the morning before the dancing began in earnest, the figures of the women glowing as though golden in the light of the hurricane-lamp, as they came running towards the drummers, spinning around only at the last moment to dance. This was what they liked more than anything elese - the extremity of this total bodily exertion, this fervent, almost ecstatic unleashment of energy, in which every muscle, every last atom of their energy would be used. It was as though the rhythms of the drums..[...]... were touching something actually inside the women themselves, to which their frenetic shaking was an involuntary, though wholly pleasurable response. They called it dia - sweetness." "Hear the sound of these drums! Our grandmothers' drums!" Hudson shows that African life can be strange beyond our imagining. The pragmatic and relaxed attitudes towards the body and sexual activity; the separatedness of women and men, who get together pretty much just for sex; the ancient initiation formulas and rites, the pragmatic interpretation of the Muslim religion mixed with animism and, above all, the aliveness of these people get through in this book really well. These Mandingko use their bodies for pleasure in a way which makes Westerners look like hollow emaciated specters lost in our greedy little calculating minds. There is much fun in African lives and much sadness - sadness that we have forgotten about.

Extractions: Gambia Introduction Back to Top Gambia, The, republic within the Commonwealth of Nations, situated on the western coast of Africa, surrounded on the north, east, and south by Senegal, and bounded on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. The country is one of mainland Africa's smallest states, with an area of only 11,295 sq km (4,361 sq mi). The capital of The Gambia is Banjul. Official Name- Republic of The Gambia 5 divisions and 1 city*; Banjul*, Lower River, Central River, North Bank, Upper River, Western. Gambia People Back to Top The population of The Gambia (2001 estimate) is 1,411,205, making it one of the least populous countries of Africa. Still, the country has an overall population density of 125 persons per sq km (324 per sq mi), and the population is increasing at a rate of 3.1 percent a year. Banjul, formerly called Bathurst, is the capital and only seaport. The largest city is Serrekunda. The river basin was a focal point for migrating groups of people escaping the turmoil of western Sudanic wars dating from the 12th century. The Diola (Jola) are the people longest resident in the country; they are now located mostly in western Gambia. The largest group is the Malinke (Mandingo), comprising about two-fifths of the population. The Wolof are the largest population group in Banjul. Nomadic Fulani (Fula) settled the extreme upriver areas, and their kingdom, Fuladu, became a major power. The Soninke (Serahuli), an admixture of Malinke and Fulani, are also concentrated in the upriver areas. The population is more than 90 percent Muslim.
