A new initiative for Gambian artists

In an effort geared towards promotion, development and preservation of arts and culture in The Gambia, Africa and the world at large, a  music production  centre called,’’Wannabi’’ Stars Production Enterprise is set to be established in the country.

This rare arts and music production centre, once  established and fully operational,  will serve as a warehouse for the country’s arts and music industry.

It will be exclusively used for exploring the potentials of the country’s upcoming and talented artists.

Mr Abdoulie Ngum, a  renowned Gambian musician, who is the proprietor and coordinator of the prestigious Teranga  Beach Club in Kololi, made this revelation in a recent chat with the Arts & Culture anchor man.

Mr Ngum noted that the project will  comprise of creative, talented, and enthusiastic  experts in the world of  arts and music.

Mr Ngum said the enterprise will, among other things, serve as a rehearsal centre for musicians throughout the length and breadth of the country. The project  would be used  to nurture talents and make maximum use of potentials in the country’s arts and music  industry.

Abdoulie Ngum further revealed his working relations with some UK partners on the project. He added that they are on the verge of going to the UK on a working visit for one to two weeks to enable them to acquire the necessary equipment for the project.

”The visit will enable us to conduct inspections and  purchase the required artistic and musical equipment for the project,’’ Mr Ngum said.

According to the Teranga Beach Club proprietor, the said artistic music equipment will be purchased from a company called the Midland music services and PT Relations Limited, based in the UK.

He expressed optimism about the progress and possible contributions of the project towards development, promotion and preservation of the spirit of arts and culture in the country.
