Official website of World band XamXam on Band For The Day.

In only two weeks seven European musicians based in the UK made eight tracks with four different bands all from The Gambia. The Gambian musicians were from the tribes Jola, Karoninka, Mandinka and the Wolof. We all meet up in the Alliance Franco - Gambienne Cultural in The Gambia to develop the 8 songs. The musicians from the UK had not heard any of the Gambian songs before and we split up into four groups of 1-2. Each group worked with a tribe for half a day over the first two days. Then we recorded, played and worked hard to get 8 unique track arranged and recorded On the final Saturday we had a live run trough of each track. We also went to visit the Karoninka and Jola tribes, St James Island and as Musa's sister in-law had just had a baby we went to a traditional naming ceremony. But the end of the two weeks we had 8 great tracks
