Tili Saba
March 26, 2021
'Tili Saba' was created with contributions from many amazing musicians in The Gambia and the UK. It draws from many sources of inspiration, but more than anything else, it is inspired by reflections on the simple yet wise saying, “Duniya Mu Tili Saba Leti, Kunung, Bii Ning Saama” - the world is made up of three days; yesterday, today and tomorrow. The album explores the past, draws inspiration from the present and contemplates the future through the kora and its journey across centuries.
