After long wait, the Senegalese Mbalax celebrity, Baba Mall, has already jetted into the country for a weekend celebration of music.

Baba Mall, whose sonorous voice helped bring Mbalax music to international ears, will be performing live alongside the famous Gambian koraist, Jaliba Kuyateh, Pa Omar Jack of Fish & Chips fame and Afro Manding Queen, Sambou Suso.

The show will jump-start today at Brikama Jokor and then Paradise Suites Hotel on Saturday. On Sunday, Jokor at Westfield intersection is expected to be virtually bursting at its seams as Baba Mall concludes the weekend celebration of music.

The Senegalese music star, to be accompanied by his ensemble, is set to cause sensation when he rocks Jokor Brikama, Paradise Suites Hotel and Jokor Westfield. He will join forces with the famous Gambian koraist, Jaliba Kuyateh and the Kumareh band, in all these performances. Imagine Baba Mall joining forces with Jaliba Kuyateh on one stage? The result, no doubt, could be anybody’s guess as these famous musicians treat party people to their repertoire of exciting tunes, lyrical power, spectacular voice output and dancing skills.

According to the President Award winning DJ Lamin Cham, Baba Mall and Jaliba will first stage a live performance at Jokor Brikama on 9 May to be followed by another performance at Paradise Suites Hotel on 10 May. ‘For those whose appetite might be whetted by the Jokor Brikama and Paradise Suites performances, hightail it to Jokor Westfield on 11 May to come face to face with the music icons and their star-studded sides,’ posited Cham.
