Let’s have a serious conversation about the entertainment industry in Brikama today.,

Brikama is arguably the top producer of talent’s musically in Gambia since in the 90’s, but recently Brikama has lost it’s grip on this trend of producing top tier entertainers.
ST is arguably the greatest of all time.

However in recent years we’ve seen the inconsistency of artists from Brikama,

Here is a summary of some notable examples:

Take DoggFather for example who in between 2020 to 2023 was considered by many to be the successor of ST, however after a very successful show at Brikama SSP, which he was the first artist from Brikama to do so and a failed attempted album lunch at QCity, Dog Father fall gracefully and struggles to fill up any venue in Brikama talkless of outside Brikama.
Many of the analysts who watched DoggFather from a distance blamed his decisions and system in which him and his management had, to many people we talked to believed that he lacked a proper management structure, some even believed he doesn’t have a management structure at all. But the big question is will DoggFather make a comeback?

Musa filly Jobarteh: Musa who many still see as the kid who is more of a drummer than a singer is still struggling to put his mark an cement his name as a prominent figure in the music scene in Brikama, despite a very successful EP lunch in Brikama boxba in 2024, which many spectators labelling the album launch’s live band performance as the most spectacular live band they ever saw a Brikama artist did and also been an international performer who travels frequently to the UK and also in Europe to perform with his Cousin the international performer Sona Jobarteh Musa still have not received any breakthrough recognition yet, all his known for by many is drumming.
Musa himself said in a recent interview that he is a drummer first then a singer.
We’ve seen in his recent songs the swift in his style of music to be more clubbing vibes if we could elaborate, Musa is definitely not a bad musician his style of music doesn’t collates with the street as of a drill/hiphop or afrobeat/Amapiano artists. But we believe Musa has a potential.

Chroniko: Chronik Bob was known for his social commentary songs which made waves back in 2019 even thought he was in the scene for quite a while , lunching a successful EP (lubutukeso) which the word itself “Lubutukeso” became a slogan for many youths in Brikama, Chroniko double down with (stylo) another slogan for the street, he was once awarded upcaming artist of the year by the wah sahalat awards, been the only artist in Brikama to win young artists of the year, an also featured in ST’s hit song “Hammo”.

However his fallout with ST made many loyal ST fans to turn their back on him, this came after he commented on Attach Gaye’s instagram post which many believed was directed at ST, since then Chroniko has kept a low profile an continues to work on his craft, last year he lunched his long awaited album which to many was a flop however the turnout wasn’t bad but with his status in the scenery in Brikama many believes the crowd should be more than that.
He is still working on his craft an yarning for a redemption, his was featured on Cokeboy’s song “Blow” which gained over 31k views in five months, an as we writing this he just released a teaser featuring Big Faa, Chroniko is a very talented artist and has a very unique style of rapping.
Is redemption imminent for him.

To be continued next Friday.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH BRIKAMA MUSIC INDUSTRY? DO YOU AGREE WITH THE WRITER?
1 lack of talent
2.lack of local support
3.Lack of investments/investors
4.lack of management
5.infrastructure
6.Lack of ambition

We are noticing the trend that ST is siting, single handedly creating a life line for many artists in Brikama, but is that enough? it’s simply not working.

ST can do enough but he cannot carry people who are not ready to evolve or work harder!!.

1. Lack of talent? Brikama has never lack talent back then or right now, Brikama has piles of talented young musicians in the country. We still have artists that can make waves in the country.

2. local support? Has the fan based in Brikama shifting beyond the borders to neglect their own?
I do not believe that, we believe many fans now demand quality over quantity.

3. Lack of investment/investors, investment is lacking in Brikama music industry, most artists complain for financial support, artists go in depts to stage shows, recording a song is challenging for many artists in brikama, shooting a standard video clip is very challenging for almost all the artists in Brikama, its very rare to see a Brikama artist shoot a video with for example: Anne visuals one of the leading videographers in the country, in this digital era of music visuals are very essential for commercial opportunities. Brikama hardly attracts investors from within or outside the borders.

4. Lack proper Management: based on investigation from our team, almost all of the artists in Brikama are been manage by their friends, some are even manage by their siblings , almost all of this managers are undergraduates or even dropouts, no management experience or exposure, no entrepreneurial skills or experience, no connections. a manager is responsible for selling the artist to attract investors. Some artists barely even have a manager.

5. Lack of infrastructure: this is one of the most important aspects for an entertainment industry grown, we have seen countless Artists from Brikama to stage shows outside Brikama an failed, now it’s hard to blame an artist for this because of curse you want to go out and showcase your talent, Brikama have only “Jokor” a facility that by day is getting outdated, it’s still the same look as of day it was established, then you have “boxba” which is recently become a career death trap for artists, expensive to stage a show at were many audience don’t like as a playback venue.

6. Lack of ambition: is the artists from Brikama less ambitious compared to their counterparts from other parts of the country? We have witnessed the rise of so many starts from Brikama who quickly fell of as quickly as they raised , most which rightly so couldn’t lived up to the standards they set for them selfs, or for some who made little money then jump ship to go an live a luxury lifestyle in kombo’s for a brief period of time forgetting the craft that made them the money they are enjoying, gradually becoming less relevant in the industry.
