Observations and gap filling

One thing I have notice and it has been going down for quite a while now, is that most or some of the acts in the Gambia don't seem to better understand the music business properly and their role as an artist. No disrespect though, am a concerned GM music lover and quite frankly i believe artists shouldn't see themselves as lab rats or something used to conduct experiments and all of that stuffs because if truth be told without them{acts} there would be less going on in entertainment circle of the Gambia and I also believe that we should be able to distinguish between the various sub genres surfacing from the grounds of our music scene and be able to categorise them in order so that the listeners can know what they are getting from the artist, not to leave 'em with one option/aferr.. "boi its Gambian music" .
Shyboy Ent have broke that circle by comin up with a fusion with a seductive marinba thing, couple of years ago and they call it CMP and it gave the impression that they are knee deep tryining to flip the script and that's real cool of 'em cuz they want GM music to go international but first they wanted the CMP to be appreciated locally.

That been said, right now i can beat my chest and say to GM acts - Yow mein def ngen sen walla du chahan, but the challenges are far more greater than what you think of the critics. Dish out something that is beyond just the pleasure of listening in a more conceptual manner cuz you have the power to change the behaviour of people whether you are aware of that fact or not. When you find yourself in a situation where the scene is going through structuring stages, its never easy on all sides and that's when i think an act should stick to what he/she can do for real and gain the friendship of versatility calculatively which is the artists's favourite tool to gain the trust of the audience. Omid Wisdom's "kassette bu jaxaso" if you listen to it you find out that he had different things going on in the mixtape, the beats, use of local languages, afromatic stuffs etcetera, thats not all that is to it. Kassette Bu Jaxaso clearly defines the now music scene of the Gambia, especially Hip Hop genre with the advent of differences in the way of doing things between acts, producers, promoters etc... Kassette bu Jaxaso is the window to show how the music is evolving, identity crisis and the race to lay the blueprints. This are some of the observations i noticed and am most sincere to shared it with you all... Much appreciation goes out to all those who are bent on making our entertainment circle a road worthy to journey on.
