 Essa,
 Oko is our elder brother. He is the elder brother of Sal Drammeh and the
 younger brother of late Pindo Drammeh, who has contributed alot to most of
 the halfdie youths. He is the son of the late Ya Aret Mboge of Hagan st.,
 who was one of the most popular " Yaye Kompins " in halfdie. Oko himself
was
 in the music business since his childhood, and was a very popular Disc
 Jockey in the Gambia.He later became the promoter of Ifangbondi and
 organised alot of " Hawaarehs"
 together with late Pa Lamin Drammeh. He also promoted the Gelewarr and the
 Maagadaan bands. Up to date, he is living in Delft, Holland and is still in
 the same business of promoting bands, organising festivals throughout the
 whole world.  He is the grandson of Gedel kumba ndagaan, Nyaworr Kumba
 Ndaagaan ( mother of Njaga Mboge , Demba Mboge and Beram Mboge jungjung (
 jaire ) of Njaafaat in Saine). Oko`s grandfather ( Matarr Mboge ) is the
 grandson of Nyowarr Kumba Ndaagaan. I also know some of the Drammehs
related
 to Sheriff Drammeh and Mbye Drammeh in Niumi, but I don`t know whether they
 are related to Oko. Oko is an open hearted person. Be rest assured that he
 can tell more about himself.

 Elhadj.
