Having caused sensations in the just-concluded much-acclaimed Kanilai International Festival, Cuarteto Harvest, a famous quartet musical outfit from Venezuela yesterday paid a courtesy call on The Point, as they are set to leave the country on Saturday after a successful trip to the Smiling Coast.

The group, who arrived in the country about three weeks ago, was here on the invitation of the Gambian leader to partake in the Kanilai Cultural galore.

Speaking to this paper in an exclusive interview, the bandleader, Mr. Anilar Martinez, thanked President Jammeh and the Gambian people for the hospitality accorded them, saying that they really enjoyed their stay in the country. He said: “The Gambia is a wonderful country and the people are so nice, friendly and hospitable,” adding: “Your president is a friendly man and he has invited us again to visit this country in November this year.”

Meanwhile, this is the first time for the Venezuelan band to visit Africa. The band was formed in 1976 and since then they have been making waves in the entertainment scene in Venezuela and beyond. In fact it was reported that the band took second position in the Kanilai cultural competition.
