WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL

We welcome you to come and live with us and study kora or just play with us with your own instrument.

The school is situated in Jobarteh Kunda in Kembuje. Approximately half an hour driving from Banjul International Airport at Yundum, 10 minutes from Brikama.

About the school

With the Mandinka Heritage school we try to continue the tradition of teaching of Amadou Bansang Jobarteh, the father of the schools founder Sanjally Jobarteh.

From Sanjally was a child, there were always international students living in the family compound learning kora from Amadou bansang Jobarteh.

Mandinka Heritage Music School will continue this, but we call it a music school. Before it was called a Jally Kunda (home of musicians)

Instead of studying for some hours at a school, we, as it traditionally was done, invite students to come here and live and study with us. You can study the Mandinka instrument kora or you can bring your own music instrument and jam with us.

We hope that many international students will come. We will like to play with you and teach you our music.
