Tune in to the illustrious history of Niani by the late Jali Banna Kanuteh on Tuesday. The griot master of Balafon player will narrate the founding story of Janjan Bureh, McCarthy Island or George Town. Jali Banna took us through a journey explaining how the founders of Niani settled there and the later disputes and battles that ensued in a four episode narration.

Jali Banna also did a single episode on the earliest settlers of Janjan Bureh. Natariko (our history) program which aired on Kairo Radio every Tuesday will relay part 3 and 4 of Niani history and also that of Janjan Bureh all day Tuesday.  Niani’s earlier Kings refused advancements by Burr Jollof to annex it. The resistance was captured in a famous Wollof song, ‘Niani Banyena’ meaning Niani resisted. A famous Mansa (King of Niani) who led many resistance against foreign invasion was Kemintang Camara. Below is a short account of Kemintang Camara’s life. Don’t miss the Natariko show with Suntou Bolonba Touray.
