A young Gambian artist by the
government name Alasana Sanyang known by many in the country as Blood
or Baba Blood, is by all means a gifted music lover who have been in
the music scene for quite a while. He started recording his
promotional songs since 2005, his records like “Gambian music”
which came at a time when Gambian acts where in the state of
confusion and playing blame games holding the Djs, promoters and
organizers for not taking them seriously. The song unravelled the
issues detering the music scene of the Gambia and issues surronding.
The record title ::”Gambian music” have gone viral on almost
every cell phone of young people and others and it was through that
bluetooth transfers Sing'A'teh a well positioned artist/radio
presenter got a hold of the track from MC Mballow to play it on his
radio show on Paradise FM. Spreading on the airwaves like an epidemic
and ofcourse gave BLOOD respect and recognition in the country all
the way to the rural areas. His second promo song titled “One and
Two” a sort of a comic version, which compels listeners to put the
song on repeat have proven him to be beyond just a reggae artist
only. Few months ago he released a salsa/reggae fusion love song
titled “Nte ni tellen” which has created a buzz and played by Djs
on the radios most especially, DJ Senator of the GRTS radio, Artical
Slice (Total reggae connection TV show) and so many local Djs and
promoters in town. Blood who regard himself as the voice of the
artists and a young man who love his country and the people around
him is also a record producer who have recently released a medley
called “Lover's medley” the medley is at its first phase and
consists of Royal messenger, Born African, Sofia and Blood himself.
The medley video was played on Total Reggae connection TV show on
GRTS and has been well received by the fans and some critics.

different genres of music and I spoke with couple of 'em artists and fans
