> Hello Brother Paps,

>  Happy  koriteh.I will give you a brief on me.

Yes! My name sounds familiar to a few:  See/www.google.com for Oko Drammeh

I was The official promotion manager of Ifangbondi  Band . Later I organised  sunday eveings talent
star search shows ( called the Hewareh) at the tropical night club in Banjul. There ,I presented all
the other Gambian groups and upcoming bands in my musical shows including Gelewarr band, Kankujare
band,  Magadan  Karantaba band, etc,and  many groups from The Gambia and Senegal including Njaga
Mbye. I moved the show to Europe in 1983 and invited Ifangbondi to Hollad where I worked regularly
with Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masakela, Alpha Blondy, King Sunny Ade , Fela Kuti, Lucky Dube,Youssou Ndour
, Salif Keita, Mory kante and Africa;s most reknown musician the late Franco and the OK jazz..The
show was on Tour in the US and occationally held in Hollywood at the John Anson Ford therter. Still
moving on and up.
Next year I have a 3 month festival tour of China and Japan opening the door, AS USUAL to Africn
music in new business frontiers.

Right ,that's me, the familiar one.!!!
