As part of the drive to promote and develop arts and culture as well as music in the country, a Gambian-born music impresario on Wednesday inaugurated a new cultural centre, Teranga Arts, Roots, Culture and Music Centre in the coastal town of Bakau.  

Speaking at the official opening of  the cultural centre, Mr Saikou Sillah, a native of Bakau explained the aim of establishing Teranga Arts, Roots, Culture and Music Centre is to promote and develop Gambian arts and culture as well as to provide music aficionados with quality musical products such as DVD, VCD and audio cassettes. He revealed that plans are underway to establish another cultural centre in Niumi, North Bank Region. He also expressed optimism that Teranga Arts would continue to provide Gambian with quality materials at pocket-friendly rates at all time. He called on other Gambians to invest in the music industry for the betterment of all and sundry.

He finally thanked the Gambian public for patronising his cultural centre, saying that they should keep up with the momentum as he is out to serve them.

Meanwhile, Teranga Arts, Roots, Culture and Music Centre which is  located along the Garba Jahumpa Road also sells T-shirts, long trousers as well as tie and dye clothes.
