Gambia - Culture Overview The single largest tribal group in Gambia is the Mandinka, an agricultural people with a hereditary nobility. The Wolofs are very prominent in the capital city of Banjul, as are the Ajus, descendants of freed slaves who rank among the bureaucratic elite. The Jola people are predominantly organized around the cultivation of rice, and the Fulas around the herding of cattle. The Sarahuli people are involved in local trade. Each of these groups speaks its own language, all of which are classified as part of the Niger-Congo language group. English is the official language of Gambia, and the country forms a long narrow strip of English speakers surrounded by francophone Senegal. The majority of Gambians are Muslim, though urban people tend to be more strict in their adherence to Islamic law than people in the countryside. Some of the Gambia's most ancient monuments are located inland near Wassau, where circles of stones mark 1,200-year-old burial grounds. Most of the country's cultural landmarks are closer to the coast. Just off the southern bank, where the Gambia River meets the Atlantic, the capital city of Banjul occupies an island (named St. Mary by the British), and is home to The Gambian National Museum. The skyline of Banjul is also graced by the twin minarets of the King Faud Mosque and the State House, built by the Portuguese. Nearby in the area around MacCarthy Square the is old colonial part of the city exhibiting its 19th-century architecture. On the river's northern bank at Barra Point is Fort Bullen. This fort was built by the British to replace the defeated James Island Fortress, which had been erected by the Germans in 1651, and is thus a symbol of European rivalry. The fort was also an important transshipment center for the slave trade.

Gambian Musicians Events Historic Sites Related Websites ... Books Gambian culture Culture constitutes the way of life of a people. It is a by-product of a relation between people and a society speaks out through its culture. Culture gives expression to the social thought, beliefs and values of human beings. A society which has no culture would be composed of persons who are expressionless. Cultural tools, like songs, dances, drama, have been utilised as coping mechanisms to prevent total social disintegration. This has been the strength of many African societies. The sense of community has served as a welfare system for many African societies where the old, the disabled and children are given protection. Even though poverty increases dependency and causes strain to the providers, without the sense of community the weight of poverty would be much heavier. The Gambia is a multi ethnic and multi cultural society. There is no area in the Gambia which is entirely habited by one ethnic group. The ethnic groups are closely knit together by cohabitation and therefore, there is a certain cultural symbiosis among them. Click and listen to a village drumming in Kuntaur Fullakunda In that regard there is a tendency towards the establishment of a Gambian National Culture, which will be a sum total of all the ethnic cultures. For instance the Gambia National Troupe is composed of all the ethnic groups and their musical repertoire is drawn from all the ethnic groups. The members of the troupe are capable of singing songs from each ethnic group and equally capable of dancing them.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Gambia Culture Gambia's main indigenous groups have a highly stratified society wherein status is determined by birth. At the top of the social heap are traditional noble and warrior families, followed by the farmers, traders and persons of caste - blacksmiths, leather workers, wood workers, weavers and griots (GREE-oh). Griots are the lowest of the castes but are highly respected, as they are in charge of passing on the oral traditions and are usually the only ones who can recite a family or village history. Slaves occupied the lowest rung of the social ladder, and although slavery is now long gone, many descendants of former slaves still work as tenant farmers for the masters of old. The overwhelming majority of Gambia's population is Muslim, though many practitioners combine their faith with traditional animist beliefs. It's not uncommon to see Gambians wearing a small leather pouch around their neck, arm or waist; called gris-gris (pronounced 'gree-gree'), these amulets are thought to ward off evil or bring good luck. Devout Muslims sometimes hedge their bets by keeping a small verse from the Quran inside. Great importance is placed on greetings. Wolof and Mandinka people, for example, greet one another with a ritual that lasts up to half a minute, starting with the traditional Islamic greetings

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Gambia In contrast to its all-enveloping neighbour, Senegal, and the massive nations surrounding them, Gambia looks like a sliver in the side of Africa. True, it ranks among the continent's tiniest countries, but its attractions are just as bright and bold-faced as any in the region. Its capital city, Banjul, is a uniquely African experience, with a bustling marketplace and enough streetside culture to chase away the holiday daze of glitzier cities. And for an even more 'traditional' outlook, a quick trip upriver brings you into the Gambian heartland, where the colourful buzz of weekly markets vies with boat trips through mangrove creeks and bike jaunts to mud-hut villages for your time and appreciation. Although Gambia is largely defined by its natural features - from the Gambia River, which runs the length of the country, to the golden beaches of its Atlantic coast resorts - the country's greatest draw lies in its people, their culture and the amiable atmosphere of daily life. Whether you're making conversation at a kerbside coffee stall or shouting yourself hoarse at a weekend wrestling match, you're sure to come away with as warm a feeling for Gambians as they tend to show to travellers. Full country name: Republic of The Gambia Area: 11,300 sq km (4400 sq mi)
