The Jamaican Royal Family of reggae music, Morgan Heritage, yesterday, landed at the magnificent Banjul International Airport at about 13:30 pm from Senegal, where they held a series of concerts in the Senegalese capital Dakar.

The United States-based Jamaican world renowned reggae artists were received at the airport by the executives of the organising committee of their upcoming concerts, amid hundreds of reggae enthusiasts, who escorted the visiting Jamaican stars from the airport terminal through the streets of Greater Banjul Area.

A line of concerts are being organised by Bright Star Production in collaboration with Jammeh Foundation for Peace (JFP). The main idea behind the programme is to raise funds to augment the resource base of JFP.

Speaking in an interview with the Daily Observer, shortly before their arrival, Ansumana Drammeh, chairperson of the Media and Publicity Sub-committee, said JFP is solely sponsored by President Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh, noting that coming up with such an idea is one of the ways that can help strengthen the foundation.

The GRTS showbiz (Goudi Samdi) anchor Drammeh further revealed that during their stay in the country, the Jamaican mega stars will first hold a photo and autography session at the Teranga Beach Club on Wednesday. He said Franky Dancehall Paul, a distinguished and reputed Jamaican reggae dancehall genius, who has been visiting the country, is also expected to perform alongside other Gambian artists.

“On Friday, there will be a live performance at Jokor Brikama and the main concerts will be at the Independence Stadium in Bakau,” he said.

He therefore called on the general public, government institutions, the private sector, and all those who are concerned about the welfare of Gambians to come out to support this worthy cause.
