Podcasts about Mandinka

Mit dem Song "Nothing Compares 2 U" aus der Feder von Prince stürmte Sinéad O'Connor 1990 endgültig die Charts auf der ganzen Welt. Doch das dazugehörige Album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" ist weit mehr als nur ein populärer Song – es ist eine schonungslose Auseinandersetzung mit Schmerz, Verlust und persönlicher Heilung und lässt auch 35 Jahre später niemanden unberührt. Mit über sieben Millionen verkauften Exemplaren und vier Grammys war das Album ein Erfolg, doch O'Connor lehnte die Auszeichnungen ab, da sie nicht für beeindruckende Zahlen, sondern für ihre Kunst anerkannt werden wollte. Ihr Gesang ist kraftvoll und emotional und das Album kombiniert eine Vielzahl von Musikstilen, von Hip-Hop über irische Klänge bis hin zu Rock und orchestralen Arrangements. Sinéad O'Connor: Eine rebellische Künstlerin mit eigener Vision Sinéad O'Connor begann schon als Schülerin mit Straßenmusik in Dublin und verließ mit 16 Jahren ohne Schulabschluss das katholische Internat, um Gesang und Klavier zu studieren. Sie zog nach London und hatte dort ihre erste eigene Band. Mit 17 erhielt sie bereits ihren ersten Plattenvertrag und zeigte früh ihre rebellische Haltung – so rasierte sie sich die Haare ab, um sich gegen die Erwartungen ihres Labelchefs an ihr weibliches Erscheinungsbild zu stellen – und das wird zu ihrem Markenzeichen. "Sie war als Künstlerin vor allem eins: Sie war sehr kompromisslos. Das war auch ihr Selbstverständnis als Musikerin. Sie hat immer gesagt, nur wenn man als Künstler authentisch ist, dann kann man erst andere berühren, und das ist ja das Ziel für jeden Musikerkünstler." (SWR1 Musikredakteurin Nina Waßmundt) Sinéad O'Connor – "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" Musikalisch kombinierte sie auf bereits ihrem ersten Album verschiedene Stile und auch ihr zweites Album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" war von dieser Vielfalt geprägt und spiegelt ihre einzigartige Fähigkeit wider, scheinbar gegensätzliche Welten miteinander zu verbinden. Das Album reflektiert ihre inneren Kämpfe und die Schmerzlichkeit, die sie als Mensch und Künstlerin beeinflussten. Besonders das Verhältnis zu ihrer Mutter, das von Missbrauch und ambivalenten Gefühlen geprägt war, zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch das Werk. Der bekannteste Song auf dem Album: "Nothing Compares 2 U" "Nothing Compares 2 U" ist der bekannteste Song des Albums. Er wurde zum weltweiten Erfolg und erreichte Platz 2 in den deutschen Jahres-Single-Charts. Die Geschichte hinter dem Song beginnt in Minneapolis, als Prince 1984 das Stück schrieb und es zunächst an seine Band "The Family" weitergab. Doch erst Sinéad O'Connors Stimme verlieh dem Song eine tiefere Bedeutung, die über die Melodie hinausging – sie drückt ihre eigene Trauer über den Verlust ihrer Mutter 1985 aus. Im Musikvideo zu "Nothing Compares 2 U" zeigt sich O'Connor in jeder Strophe in einer anderen emotionalen Verfassung, von Trauer und Wut bis hin zu Akzeptanz, so Musikredakteur Frank König. O'Connor selbst erklärte, dass sie bei diesem Song immer an ihre Mutter denke und sich in diesen Momenten mit ihr verbunden fühle. Mehr über Sinéads tragische Vergangenheit, das Albumcover und die gesamte Geschichte hinter dem Megahit "Nothing Compares 2 U", hört ihr im Podcast zu Sinéad O'Connor – "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". _______ Über diese Songs vom Album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" wird im Podcast gesprochen (14:09) – "Feel So Different"(17:12) – "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got"(27:00) – "I Am Stretched On Your Grave"(33:03) – "The Emperor's New Clothes"(37:58) – "Black Boys On Mopeds"(44:54) – "Nothing Compares 2 U" Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen (10:28) – "Mandinka" von Sinéad O'Connor(29:49) – "Funky Drummer" von James Brown(46:18) – "Nothing Compares 2 U" von Prince(47:27) – "Nothing Compares 2 U" von The Family__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/sinead-o-connor-i-do-not-want-what-i-havent-got Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

In this episode, the Muses have decreed that we'll be looking at stories of heroes who were exiled from their homes and had to fight to regain what they had lost. There are a lot of epic tales that feature this theme, and it provides a great opportunity to send the hero on some sort of journey, where they can encounter monsters and challenges and all the exciting conflicts that make a story! We'll start with Sundiata Keita, a hero of the Mandinka people, and then explore a few other heroes from around the world. All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

Die Wahl-Luzernerin Rahel Giger hat zusammen mit dem senegalesischen Musiker Moussa Cissokho ihr Debut-Album «La Pluma» («Die Feder») veröffentlicht. Leider ist die Reise nach gut 45 Minuten Spielzeit bereits zu Ende. Wie gerne hätte man mehr davon, denn das Album ist eine Wohltat für die Seele. Rahel Giger, aufgewachsen in Graubünden, heute wohnhaft in Luzern ist Musikerin, Sängerin, Autorin und Moderatorin bei SRF3.  Ihr Debut-Album «La Pluma», erschienen am 4. November 2023, ist gespickt mit weiteren Musikern, u.a. dem Tango-Poeten Daniel Melingo aus Argentinien oder dem Exiltibeter Loten Namling - und auch Büne Huber (Patent Ochsner) ist bei einem Song mit von der Partie.  Mundart, Rätoromanisch und Spanisch, Wolof, Mandinka oder Slowenisch, die Stimmen von Rahel Giger und Moussa Cissokho lassen einem träumen und den Alltag vergessen. Das funktioniert am besten, je öfter man die 10 Songs hintereinander anhört. Rahel Giger ist live zu Gast in der Sendung Swissmade und steht für einmal auf der anderen Seite des Mikrofons.

The famous singer Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of sixteen and two score. Tá an t-amhránaí cáiliúil Sinéad O'Connor tar éis bháis in aois a sé bliana déag agus dhá scór. It is not yet known what caused her death. Níl sé ráite fós cad ba thrúig bháis di. Sinéad O'Connor was born in Dublin in 1966 and raised in Glenna Caorach in the south of the county. I mBaile Átha Cliath a rugadh Sinéad O'Connor i 1966 agus i nGleann na gCaorach i ndeisceart an chontae a tógadh í. She first rose to fame with the song Mandinka in 1987 from her debut album The Lion and the Cobra and even more fame with Nothing Compares 2 U in 1990. Bhain sí clú agus cáil amach a chéaduair leis an amhrán Mandinka i 1987 óna céad albam The Lion and the Cobra agus níos mó clú fós le Nothing Compares 2 U i 1990. In a statement this evening, her family said they were deeply saddened by her death and asked people not to mourn as they cope with their loss. I ráiteas tráthnóna, dúirt a teaghlach gur mór an phúir a bás agus d'iarr siad ar dhaoine gan coiscriú a chur fúthu agus iad ag dul i ngleic lena mbris. Sinéad O'Connor recorded a total of ten studio albums during this time. Thaifead Sinéad O'Connor deich n-albam stiúideo ar fad lena linn. She was married several times and had four children. Bhí sí pósta roinnt babhtaí agus bhí ceathrar clainne uirthi. One of the family, her son Shane, was tragically lost last year. Cailleadh duine den chlann, a mac Shane, go tragóideach anuraidh.

Laurence Tureaud is a National Treasure, he is at the same level of Dolly Parton for me, and he led a campaign as a spokesperson to promote masculinity...for a candy bar. He is known for his roles as B. A. Baracus in the 1980s television series The A-Team and as boxer Clubber Lang in the 1982 film Rocky III. He is also known for his distinctive hairstyle inspired by Mandinka warriors in West Africa, his copious gold jewelry, his tough-guy persona and his catchphrase "I pity the fool!", first uttered as Clubber Lang in Rocky III, then turned into a trademark used in slogans or titles, like the reality show I Pity the Fool in 2006. You may know him as Mr. T, I know him as the epitamy of cool, let's talk about candy bars and manliness on this episode of The Ranger Ryan Show.Hosted on Acast.

Henry Jarju Part 5 The Finale In this concluding episode we pick back up with Henry attending DTS for Youth With A Mission in January 2020 which is curtailed by the COVID Pandemic. During this time, Henry's friend starts a ministry to bring food to people that are homebound. Of course, Henry is all in for helping out. He enlists YWAM's help to do so and they share the gospel and pray with people living in isolation and loneliness. This ministry has continued to this day. Henry decides during his DTS (Discipleship Training School) that he wants to go deeper into Bible knowledge.  He observes David who was going through SBS (School of Biblical Studies, a further step available after DTS), constantly studying and reading his Bible. 0:00-12:00 Henry discusses God's call to him and his fiancé to move to Italy to be a missionary there and support refugees who are trying to find their way. They will work at the YWAM base there and know that with all his experiences as a refugee they will be able to encourage, love, disciple, and train other refugees. Ever the learner, Henry may also take an online pastoral course. This will be at YWAM Ragusa in Sicily, Italy. Steve reminds listeners and viewers that God may call them to support Henry and his fiancé's new mission work. 12:00-22:00 Henry, David, and Steve move towards the conclusion of this special series. Steve invites Henry and David to share closing remarks and thoughts. David shares that Henry is such a great representation of the image of God as loving one another. Steve asks Henry to close our 5 part series with a prayer in the language of his choice. Henry chooses Mandinka, which is spoken as a first-language by the most Gambians: 38%. 22:00-28:00See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues- the podcast in conversation with multilinguals. This week I'm thrilled to share this conversation with Kimhia and Indira of Twossaints about their language of Saint Lucian Creole. Kimhia and Indira talk about the development and influences that have shaped Saint Lucian Creole including grammar structures that have origins in Mandinka and Wolof. We talk about the history of Culture Day in Saint Lucia and the significance of madras. We talk about the grammar of the language and how it's structured and we actually get some practice of the creole language. We talk about understanding French through Creole and the variations with other Caribbean Creoles, especially Haitian Creole. Kimhia and Indira tell us about their language academy and the importance of passing on the creole tradition as well as finding room to create new words in Creole. Diversions include: Code switching and accents, St. Lucian music, and what we can look forward to experiencing when we visit the island! Big thank you to Kimhia and Indira for this conversation and for sharing the language and culture of your lovely island with all of us!

Comparing cultural expressions is a risky enterprise:  especially, in our case, because too many  still perceive Western “classical” art music to be somehow superior to other  musics because of its alleged and “universal” values. But we think the challenge can be worthwhile, especially at a deeper level, because it can help us  tease out complementary ways rulers use sound to literally underscore their political power. In today's episode we investigate music and power in the Black Atlantic, where European and African musics collided in history.Our first example is that of the Italo-French composer Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687), who often features as the father of French opera. We focus on his role as composer of lavish multimedia productions known more formally as tragédies en musique, tragedies set to music and celebrating his patron Louis XIV. These fusions of music, drama, and dance were pure political spectacle, and in Louis's younger years even involved the king himself as a dancer. The king was dancing because the purpose of a tragédie en musique was to place the king's body (which itself represented France, to contemporary ways of thinking) at the center of a complex piece of theatre. The point was not so much to entertain the audience, which often consisted of France's political elite, but to remind them of the king's absolute power. Lully made a career of creating works like these. Tom unpacks Lully's work, his dismissal by Louis after a sexual scandal (with a digression to the composer's subsequent death of gangrene as the result of a self-inflicted wound sustained while directing music) and turns, finally, to Louis's global political ambitions. Had those ambitions  been fully realized, the cultural world of the Black Atlantic (and thus our music history) would have been much more French.Chris's postcard takes us to the soundworlds of the great empires of sub-Saharan West Africa in the pre-colonial era. He starts with the Empire of Mali, whose first emperor, Sundiata Keita (ruling  in the thirteenth century CE) is memorialized in magnificent musical-epic poetry that has been passed down by oral and aural tradition. The bearers of this memory are called jeliat in the languages of West Africa (in French: griot). Chris explains how rulers of empires such as Mali depended on the jeliat, whose memorized epics were key sources of historical, genealogical, and legal knowledge, to tell their stories and legitimize their power.We then attempt one of those challenging cross-cultural comparisons. Did Lully serve as a kind of praise-singerto Louis XIV? On the face of it certainly. Yet  historical comparisons are never simple or neutral. Just look at where we would be likely to encounter Lully's music today: in “classical” opera houses or in other formats popular with elites in the “global north,” who are often culturally conditioned to value “timeless classics,” not political messages. In contrast the musical aesthetics and outputs  of the oral-aural epics of West Africa, which are still performed by musicians who claim direct lineage to their predecessors at the court of Sundiata, are more likely to pop up on playlists of “traditional” or “world” music. Both are “old” music, so why is one “classical” and the other “traditional”?The answer is the Western colonization of Africa, the flows of labor, energy, and data that made it possible, and--in turn--the influence of the jelat tradition on the vernacular musics of the Black Atlantic, which underpin nearly so many pop music genres today, from the Delta Blues to hip-hop. Music, it seems to us, is never unmoored from political and economic realities.Key PointsIn different ways around the world, political power and music mix.The prestigious genre of French “tragedy in music” formed in the late seventeenth century in lavish spectacles that told stories about the political power of Louis XIV, the “Sun King”The great poetic epics of the West African Empires, such as the Sundiata Epic from the court of the Empire of Mali, functioned similarly.Lully's operas live on, often stripped of their political meaning, in Western “classical” music. The West African epics live on too, as African “traditional music.” Some of their ethos informs the popular genres today that stem from the collision of European and African cultures in the era of the Black Atlantic, with its trade in goods and enslaved people.ResourcesWe are fans of Gérard Corbiau's 2000 film costume drama Le roi danse (even if it's somewhat over the top!). Excerpts are available widely on YouTube and other platforms. The soundtrack is available on CD or download from Deutsche Grammophon, and the streaming services Apple Music and Spotify.Timothy Blanning's book The Culture of Power and the Power of Culture: Old Regime Europe 1660-1789 is an excellent introduction to the use of cultural spectacle to underpin political power.Eric Charry's Mande Music: Traditional and Modern Music of the Maninka and Mandinka of Western Africa is a masterful situation of “traditional” music as part of contemporary West Africa aesthetics and politics.Christopher Waterman's Juju: A Social History and Ethnography of an African Popular Music places the proverb-rich Yoruba contemporary vocal/instrumental music juju in contemporary West African context.All of the books mentioned in the episode can be found in our Sounding History Goodreads discussion group.

Joy Bennett says she felt like she was home when she discovered folk music. “The sharing of music touches part of you maybe you didn't know existed,” Bennett says in this week's podcast at AltamontEnterprise.com/podcasts. Bennett is the director of Old Songs Inc., taking the helm from founder Andy Spence in 2018. The Old Songs Festival of Traditional Music and Dance, usually held annually at the Altamont fairgrounds, was audio-only last year because of the pandemic and this year will be held as a virtual event on June 25, 26, and 27 through Zoom. The evening concerts will be simulcast on Folk Music Notebook and on the Old Songs YouTube channel. Seventy artists from around the world will perform on five stages.One of the focuses is on The Generation Project — music passed down through families and community groups. Ustad Shafaart Khan, a classical Indian musician, for example, is a 16th-generation sitar player and the Great Gambian Griots play Mandinka kora music, passed from father to son for untold generations, making their own koras, 21-stringed harps, from calabash gourds, leather, wood, and fishing strings. “The direction is to push forward to inclusivity,” said Bennett.She has performed for 25 years with an a cappella, all-women group called The Johnson Girls. The name comes from one of the sea chanteys they sing: “The Johnson girls is mighty fine girls, walk around, honey, walk around,” sings Bennett on the podcast in a lusty voice.The group had to break through a glass ceiling while performing — “Those who thought a chantey singer had to be male, bearded, and with a beer gut, needed to think again,” wrote the Cornwall Guardian when The Johnson Girls performed in England, and Bennett recalls being told, “You girls sing like you have balls.”Bennett explains that the chanteys are work songs sung by crews on 19th-Century sailing ships as they raised anchors or pumped out water; the songs coordinated their efforts and oxygenated their bodies. The chanteys were the first world music, Bennett believes, and her group has left a mark with changes they've made, which they hear when audiences sing with them. She says, “It is just exhilarating.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sona Jobarteh comes from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players from Mali and The Gambia. She's become one of the rare women in the world to master the 21-string instrument which is traditionally reserved to men. She talks to RFI about working within the tradition to be better able to expand it. Sona Jobarteh's grandfather was Amadu Bansang Jobarteh, an oral historian and hereditary praise singer from the Mandinka people of The Gambia. Her cousin is Mali's Toumani Diabaté. Her brother began teaching her to play the kora when she was just three, but when she decided she wanted to make a career out of it, she turned to her father Sanjally Jobarteh. "I always had a very natural connection with the older repertoire," Jobarteh explains as we sit at her hotel before a concert in Paris's New Morning early November. "That's why I really wanted to study with my father because he is very much an expert in that style of playing." Her father was a demanding task-master. "He told me that he will teach me as his child, not as his daughter, not as his son but as his child which is no gender. And also he told me that the one thing he wanted in return for teaching me is that I aim to be just a good kora player not a good female kora player." "He said if someone listens to you they shouldn't be able to say it's a girl or it's a boy it's just a good kora player." Jobarteh has gone on to become a very successful and respected kora player, vocalist and instrumentalist, demonstrating to her own and future generations that "you don't have to conform to outside influence to be successful in the music industry." "You can actually represent your tradition, you can even sing in your own language without having to bend to pressure not to do so." She did just that in 2011, singing in Mandekan on her album Fasiya. "Fasiya was all about my heritage and I saw it as a risk or a challenge because I'm no longer singing in English, I'm no longer playing any European instruments, and it's traditional. "I was not sure if I would get any audience, but I made the conscious decision to prefer to do what means something to me and have very few people follow than try to conform to something that is not true to me and be popular." Her gamble paid off. But she hasn't released another album since, putting all her energies, and finances, into the Gambia Academy of Music and Culture she returned to The Gambia to open in 2015. The school educates children in their cultural traditions and heritage alongside the mainstream curriculum.  She says it's important to "demonstrate the worth of what they have rather than what they don't have," so that they remain in the country rather than believing that "hope, the future and everything lies outside their country". "The academy is actually everything I do," she continues, "and in many ways the music increasingly is now just a means for me to be able to support and to spread awareness about what I'm trying to do in The Gambia." Music in this week's programme is from Jobarteh's 2011 album Fasiya. Her upcoming album will focus on the future: social activism, education, women and raising awareness of the challenges her country is facing. Follow Sona Jobarteh on facebook

The unique and primal sound of Desert Blues from the musicians of Mali and nomadic tribes of the Sahara is less an offshoot of "the blues" as closer to its original root before the music was filtered through the African slave experience, through the Delta, and permeated American culture. This music is a modern interpretation of that ancient music, lovingly crafted by African musicians since the '70s, including some highly prominent and now-famous musicians including Ali Farka Toure, who once said, "The guys in Mississippi are playing American-Malian music, not the other way around."

English: www.TheRadioVagabond.com Vi fik mulighed for at tilbringe et par dage på Mandina River Lodges, som er det mest fantastiske sted midt i en skov omkring en halv times kørsel fra den lille hovedstad i Gambia, Banjul. Mandina River Lodges blev grundlagt af to englændere, Lawrence Williams og James English. Lawrence er en af mine venners ven - og også en ivrig rejsende med en spændende historie. Desværre var Lawrence ikke i Gambia på det tidspunkt, hvor vi var der, men jeg lover at fange ham på et tidspunkt så han kan fortælle sin historie. James English er hans onkel. Eller rettere sagt "var". For han døde meget uventet i 2012, blot fem uger efter at være blevet diagnosticeret med kræft. James og Lawrence havde rejst meget sammen og nu, når Lawrence besøger et nyt land spreder han en lille smule af sin onkels aske i landet som en gestus. I årevis havde James ledt efter et stykke land, der var egnet til at skabe et turisme projekt, og på julaften 1992 fandt han Makasutu. I dag drives Mandina River Lodges af hans tidligere kone, Linda English, men det var først efter, James døde, at Linda kom ned her. Faktisk mente hun, at det var en tosset ide at investere penge i et stykke jord i Gambia. Nu har hun været her seks år allerede og elsker stedet. Makasutu er en tropisk reservat, der omfatter fem forskellige økosystemer. Da de fandt det var en stor del af skoven blevet fældet og de besluttede at forsøge at genetablere skoven, og i løbet af de næste få år havde de plantet 15.000 træer. Nu er dyrelivet vendt tilbage med mange fuglearter, øgler, bavianer, colobus aber, en krokodille i ny og næ og endda det kattelignende rovdyr Manguster kan ses ved flodbreden. Den første dag blev vi inviteret til at gå en tur gennem skoven med en lokal guide, klædt i grøn og khaki og med en kikkert hængende rundt om halsen klar til kigge efter fugle. James og Lawrence tilbragte de første syv år i telt på stedet uden rindende vand eller elektricitet. De gjorde dette for at forstå jorden og miljøet, og det kan ses på de mange detaljer, der er i design og konstruktion af stedet. Makasutu, der i det lokale sprog Mandinka, betyder "hellig skov", og den oprindelige ide var at lave en lille backpackers lodge, men efter mange nætter, siddende omkring lejrbålet, besluttede de at åbne stedet som en kulturreservat, der fremhæver, hvordan de lokale bor og det rige dyreliv. Og i stedet for den lille backpackers lodge besluttede de sig for at lave et femstjernet øko-lodge uden sidestykke i Vestafrika. Det færdige resultat er imponerende, med i alt ni hytter med forskellige designs både på land og på vandet. Bortset fra fuglesang er der meget stille og fredeligt her. Jeg mødte også sikkerhedschefen på Mandina River Lodges, Dawda. Han er en tidligere politimand, og i sin fritid er han radio vært. Han havde sagt, at han ville vise mig et sted, der var meget vigtigt for hans arbejde som sikkerhedschef. Så jeg var lidt overrasket da vi stoppede midt i skoven. Tag også med til en anderledes og meget stille nytårsaften. Denne episode er længere end normalt fordi der er så meget at fortælle om disse fantastiske dage i Gambia.

We got the opportunity to spend a few days at Mandina River Lodges, the most amazing place in the middle of the forest around half an hours drive from the small capital of The Gambia, Banjul. Mandina River Lodges is founded by two Englishmen, Lawrence Williams, and James English. Lawrence is a friend of a friend of mine - and also an avid traveler with an exciting story. Unfortunately, Lawrence wasn't in The Gambia at the time we were there, but I promise to catch up with him at some point to get his story. James English is his uncle. Or was. Because he passed away very unexpected in 2012, five weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. James and Lawrence had been traveling a lot together and now, whenever Lawrence visits a new country, he spreads a little bit of his uncle's ashes in the country as a gesture. A thing that almost got him arrested in North Korea. Like I said: He has a lot of stories that I promise I'll have hin share at some point when I finally meet him. For years James had been searching for a piece of land suitable to create a tourism project, and on Christmas Eve 1992 they found Makasutu. Today Mandina River Lodges is run by his former wife, Linda English. And it was only after James passed away that Linda came down here. In fact, the thought it was a crazy idea to put money in a piece of forest in The Gambia. She's been here six years already and loves the place. Makasutu is a tropical 1000-acre reserve encompassing five different eco-systems. Fifteen thousand trees were planted over the next few years, and the wildlife came back. Now the wildlife is plentiful with many bird species, monitor lizards, baboons, vervet and red colobus monkeys, and the occasional crocodile, and even the odd mongoose can be spotted on the riverbanks. In the afternoon on the first day we were invited to go for a walk through the a with a local guide, dressed in green and khaki and with a monocular around his neck ready for bird watching. Makasutu, meaning ‘sacred forest' in the local language Mandinka, and they started it as both an ecology project and a place for people to come and learn about the local culture and people. James and Lawrence spent the first seven years living in tents on the land, with no running water or electricity. They did this getting to understand the land and environment, which is why you notice the attention to detail that has gone into the design and construction. The initial idea was to a small backpackers lodge, but after many nights sitting around the campfire they decided to try to help in the re-foresting of the area, and eventually to open the site as a cultural reserve, highlighting how the local people live, and also to encourage the return of wildlife to the area. One thing lead to another and instead of the small backpackers lodge they decided to develop a five-star eco-lodge like no other in West Africa. Construction began in 2000, with as many as 150 people working on the swimming pool alone. Due to the standard of the carpentry, the lodges were very time consuming to produce, however, the finished result is impressive with a total of nine lodges being completed over several years, with differing designs both on and off the water. And apart from the birds singing it's very quiet and peaceful here. The staff at Makasutu all come from the surrounding villages, a deliberate measure to try to help stop the urban drift to the city, and allowing the surrounding area to directly benefit from this place. One of them The head of security at Mandina River Lodges, his name is Dawda. We met him at the Base Camp when we were doing the jungle walk. He used to be a policeman, and then he's a popular radio DJ in his free time. We agreed to meet later and chat some more. So the next day Dawda came and picked me up at the main gate. I got on the back of his motorcycle, and we took off down the dirt road. He wanted to show me a spot that was very important for his work as the head of security. So I was a bit surprised when we stopped in the middle of the forest. That's where they have the main borehole, the main well.   LINKS:  Mandina River Lodges The Gambia Experience Sponsor Hotels25.com  See pictures on TheRadioVagabond.com   You can follow The Radio Vagabond on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram og YouTube.
